The population of the Huasteca region is a participant of musical events in different areas, which allows us to recognize that among all genres, Huasteca son highlights and corresponding dance called Huapango are used. These musical forms are imbued with the physical and social environments that live constantly. It is through the lyrics of the Huasteca sones, that the mechanism is developed to reflect the natural world and perceive the events that happen to them, gaining an importance that leads to an identification that transcends. They understand the environment and relate a sense of belonging-ownership, allowing them to recreate their lives and merge into a cultural identification that we call "regional identity". The relevance of considering a musical expression of these features is that it preserves and enhances constantly, unifying an area of Mexico that does not correspond necessarily to political boundaries established in different historical periods.
