Vinyl records see resurgence in Mexico City driven by youth collecting

Vinyl records are experiencing a resurgence in Mexico City, driven largely by younger generations seeking an analog alternative to dominant streaming services. This trend is fueled by nostalgia and a growing interest in music collecting and fashion.

Local retailers, such as Roma Records, report significant growth in sales of both classic albums and contemporary releases. Notable top sellers include Juan Gabriel’s ‘en Bellas Artes’ and C. Tangana’s ‘El Madrileño’.

While the movement continues to grow, the Gran Feria de Vinilos, originally scheduled for the Glorieta de los Insurgentes, was unexpectedly suspended due to logistical concerns and potential overcrowding. The organizing collective, Grow Disc, has announced plans to reschedule the event.
