(excerpt from the article)
''Ten years ago,'' Adolfo said, ''all these hip-hop kids were listening to quebradita,'' a gymnastic dance style associated with banda music, ''and dressing in sombreros, but now they're coming back to hip-hop.''
The baby-faced and wiry Eddie G, whose oversize white baseball cap stops just where his enormous diamond earrings start, said he is too young to come back to hip-hop. Rather, he was born into the music. ''Hip-hop is my everything,'' he said as he took a seat in the Valenzuelas' backyard. ''But I wouldn't feel strange at a banda show. It's not new to me. It's where I come from. My mom listened to Vicente Fernandez and all that pura ranchera stuff.''
