Toward the end of the 60s musical groups with origins in the corralero sound from the Colombian Caribbean coast made several tours in Mexico. Their influence led to the emergence of local groups in the Afro-descendant coastal strip of Costa Chica in southern Mexico. One of these groups, Mar Azul, collaborated to forge the so-called merequetengue, a music genre that served as an identity vehicle and a mixture of local aesthetics, evidencing glocal processes and regional locality. Later on, the importance this group acquired led to translocal processes, as it became a substantial part of the musical life of the migrant coastal population, both in Mexico City and in several states of the USA. This paper analyzes these processes -which show South-South relations between Afro-descendant rural populations- making use of the notions of glocality, regional locality, and musical translocality
