Interpretation

Los Incomparables de Tijuana open with an accordion figure that practically announces itself with a wink — there is something playfully proud in the way this song begins, a chest-puffed confidence that suits the title perfectly. The norteño groove underneath is tightly locked, the bajo sexto and bass working as a single organism while the accordion takes the melodic lead with an almost conversational ease. The vocal delivery leans into that regional Tijuana character — direct, unashamed, with a working-class swagger that distinguishes border-town norteño from its more rural Sinaloan cousins. "Mi Gusto Es" is essentially a song about preference and autonomy — doing things your own way, on your own terms — and the music matches that declaration by refusing to be anything other than what it is. There is no identity crisis here, no reaching for crossover appeal. This is norteño for people who love norteño, made with the certainty that the audience already knows exactly why they are here. It suits weekend gatherings, taquería speakers turned up past polite, the kind of afternoon where everyone knows the chorus and nobody needs to be asked to sing along.
