===Music=== Since the decade of the 1920s, Tijuana has excelled in the musical field, thanks to the first groups of ranchera music that began to set the tourist establishments in the area with the visit of foreigners, including the former Casino Agua Caliente. [[Javier Batiz]] founded in 1957 he founded a group called "{{ill|Los TJ's|es|TJ's|vertical-align=sup}}" with which he collected musical influences that were received in the Mexican border cities of black music, blues and R&B from people like T-Bone Walker, Muddy Waters, [[B.B. King]], [[Chuck Berry]], Howlin' Wolf, James Brown, among others. Later he would start his solo career in the rest of the country and participating in some bands in Mexico City. [[File:Tijuana-performers.jpg|thumb|left|A [[Norteño (music)|Norteño]] musical ensemble performing in [[Downtown Tijuana]]]] During the 60s, the American trumpeter [[Herb Alpert]], in a visit to the bullfights made in the old Bullfight, found musical inspiration so after the recording of his single "The Lonely Bull", which was a radio hit in 1962. With the success, he decided to make a casting and formed "The Tijuana Brass", with whom he toured and had a presentation on television. It was a musical collaboration with artists from Los Angeles, with style called "Tijuana Marimba´s Brass". The band was dissolved in 1969 but they continued with some presentations under the name of T.J.B. 55 Despite the downturn in rock artists for some years, in the 90s [[Tijuana No!]] emerged, returning a bit of the genre to the city. They also incorporated ska, punk and reggae. "No" would be the first album released, from which successes like "Pobre de ti", which had [[Julieta Venegas]] as a vocalist, would emerge. Later the singer began her solo career already in the 00s of the 21st century. Her musical career reached the recording of six studio albums, and she won two [[Grammys]], six [[Latin Grammys]], six MTV Latin America and two [[Latin Music Billboard]]. [[File:Vista del Reloj-Arco monumental (cropped).jpg|thumb|right|The Tijuana Arch, in Zona Centro]] Among other things, Tijuana has been the inspiration for the birthplace of [[Nortec]] music style and [[cultural movement|Ruidoson]], resulting in a very large and active electronic music scene where groups and artists like [[Los Macuanos]], [[Maria y Jose]], [[Siberium]], [[Hidhawk]] and [[Harpocrates]] emerged. Tijuana also enjoys a large base of support in many other musical scenes such as [[mexican hip hop]], [[reggae]], [[hardcore punk|hardcore]], [[punk rock|punk]], [[black metal]] and [[house music]]. Famous musicians are from Tijuana including the pop-rock singer-songwriter [[Lynda Thomas]] and [[Vanessa Zamora]] and international indie punk bands like [[Delux]] and Los Kung-Fu Monkeys. To promote the cultural development in children and youth of Tijuana, since 1996 the Tijuana Youth Symphony (SJT) has been promoted, which promotes education and musical training through instrument practices, music reading and public concerts. In addition, Tijuana has an opera season. There are also several musical festivals throughout the year, among which the Latin American Guitar Festival, Mainly Mozart Binacional, and the International Exhibition of contemporary dance "Bodies in Transit" stand out. Tijuana is home to the Baja California Orchestra, one of the most prestigious and solid artistic institutions in northwestern Mexico, which was nominated for the Latin Grammy in the category of best classical album by the Latin Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences Inc., with the album Tango kills Danzón kills Tango. This phonogram was distinguished as 'Best Classical Album of the year 2001' by the Mexican Union of Theater and Music Chroniclers. Currently, it maintains an annual season, offering symphonic and chamber music concerts in the most important forums of Tijuana and Baja California.
