context_page_description: The music of Mexico is very diverse and features a wide range of musical genres and performance styles. It has been influenced by a variety of cultures, most notably the culture of the indigenous people of Mexico and Europe. Music was an expression of Mexican nationalism, beginning in the nineteenth century.
  Many traditional Mexican songs are internationally known, including María Grever's first international hit "Júrame", and her song "Te Quiero Dijiste", written for the 1944 Esther Williams film, "Sinfonía India", "La Noche de los Mayas", "Huapango" by Moncayo, "Sobre las Olas", "La Sandunga", "Cielito Lindo", "Perfidia", "Granada", "Bésame Mucho", "Solamente una vez", "Esta Tarde Vi Llover", "Somos Novios"

Arturo O'Farrill son of Latin jazz musician, arranger and bandleader Chico O'Farrill, is known for his contributions to contemporary Latin jazz.
