There are two kinds of boots now. There are the regular boots and the pointy boots. The Mexican pointy boots are basically a regular boot with elongated toes. These boots not only have become a fashion trend, but also brought popularity to a type of music called tribal guarachero. Tribal guarachero can be described as a mixture of pre-columbian and African sounds mixed with fast cumbia bass and electro-house beats (Sherindan, Cárdenas, “Mexican Pointy Boots”). People tend to wear the pointy boots with skinny jeans because skinny jeans are meant to highlight the boots. The pointy boots are said to have originated in Matehuala, a small village north of Mexico City about five years ago. Now, having the longest pointy boots has also started a competition. When people went to dance tribal guarachero music, they started to form their own dance crews and competed against each other. Eventually one of the crew slightly pointed their boots, which made other crews join in the challenge and see who can have the longer pointed toes in their boots. According to the interview between Vice Magazine and Jorge Nebel, a shoemaker, said “In the beginning people just used regular boots, then people started making them pointier and pointier until it got out of control.” He also said that this boots are made by “cutting off the tip of the regular boots and …show more content…
A very famous artist in this genre of this music is DJ Erick Rincon, who is part of a popular Mexican pop DJ trio from San Nicolas de los Garza, Mexico named 3BallMTY. He has been making tribal guarachero music since 2009. He said that this genre of music originated in Mexico City from 2000 to 2001. He describes the music as “tribal mixes, pre-hispanic and African sound with Cumbia basslines.” He also said “In the beginning it sounded more indigenous, more Aztec, but once it made it to Monterrey it changed, tribal guarachero was born mixing more Colombian guacharacas and Cumbia” (Rincon, “Mexican Pointy Boots”). He also said that the first time he saw dance crews with pointy boots was at the Far West Rodeo Club in Dallas. According to DJ Erick Rincon who is a popular judge at these events, “The events in the U.S. are bigger and more organized than they are in Mexico, hundreds of people show up each time” (Rincon, “Mexican Pointy Boots”) believing they are better in the U.S than in Mexico. Since this style of boots is more modern, many people still find it odd giving stares and laughter. Leandro Rodriquez of Bellavista, a member in a Dance Crew in Matehuala, stated that people call him crazy for wearing the pointy boots but that he does not care because they make him feel good and he loves his boots, so people shouldn’t care
