Yu-Mex (a portmanteau of "Yugoslav" and "Mexican") was a style of popular music in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia which incorporated elements of traditional Mexican music (such as mariachi and ranchera). The style was mostly popular during the 1950s and 1960s when a string of Yugoslav singers began performing traditional Mexican songs.
