Justin Bieber appears to be embracing a bold new chapter, and it's not just about his latest albums, SWAG and SWAG II, or his new clothing brand. This one leans deeply into Mexican musical culture. After being spotted dancing to mariachis at a basketball event, he was later seen joining a banda ensemble in Los Angeles, playing the tambora and singing along live with the musicians. These moments suggest that Bieber is stepping beyond mere tribute and entering what might be called his Mexican era.
