Trival

Trival is a type of electronic/dance music popular in Mexico and the Latino community of the US.

Tribal or Trival, also known as tribal-guarachero, is similar to Tribal house music, but instead of using african rhythms the electronic music is combined with mexican folk rhythms.

As dance style, it does not require a dancing partner, as dancers move around the dance floor on their own, with a unique dance movement. Based upon the rhythm of Mexican cumbia, it became popular with the young Latino community in parts of the US, primarily with teenagers. Trival is claimed to be a new genre of music combining techno, electro house and club music, with cumbia, regional mexican music, Afro-cuban beats and Moroccan Chaabi style rhythm.[1] The style started in Mexico City,[2] but then moved to Monterrey, Mexico in 2007, before moving to the US in 2008, although it has yet to become popular throughout Mexico. It was most popular in the Metroplex areas like Houston & Dallas TX until late 2013. One trival crew is 3Ball MTY From Monterrey Mexico.

Sometimes referred to as "3ball", despite the similarity between B and V in Spanish, it should not be spelled, or confused with, "Tribal" music.
