What the heck... why does it matter?

Aren't we all people? everyone has different likes and dislikes in music regardless of race.

Just because someone is Mexican doesn't mean they're going to like a different type of music then an American or that all Mexicans listen to the same type of music.

Get your information straight.

From Uptowndoug:

I think this is a serious question and deserves a serious answer, which would be: it depends in part on where in Mexico they live. There are many diffrent regional styles of music in Mexico. In the far north, near the border, they tend to like two different styles: the accordeon based CONJUNTOS, known as Nortenyo (there's a tilde over the n) in Mexico, or Tex-Mex across the border. They play lots of waltzes, polcas and corridos (story songs). The other popular style up north is called BANDA, and is a strange mix of Souza and German marching band music, featuring a single snare drum and lots of horns, including mutliple clarinets, trumpets and the ever present tuba!

Further down in Mexico, the famous MARIACHI bands of Jalisco state (centered in Guadalajara) feature the violins and trumpets, musicians always wear the CHARRO outfits (Mexican cowboy clothes) with the buckles and big sombreros. This style is known as RANCHERA music, which is like their version of COUNTRY--very popular throughout the nation. Of particular interest in Mariachi Music: there are no drums! The small guitar known as a vihuela plays a rhythmic pattern that establishes the cadence very nicely. Mariachi bands will play folk tunes from anywhere in Mexico, turning them into Ranchera tunes.

On the east coast, around Veracruz, there are small bands all dressed in white with small white hats that play music known as SON JAROCHO, featuring violin and another small guitar-like instrument called a jarana. The most famous song from the jarocho canon is LA BAMBA.

North of Veracruz, along the coast towards Texas, is another style known as SON HUASTECA, named after the original native inhabitants of the region. Also small groups of 3-5 musicians, featuring violin and guitar, these are fast dance tunes with often improvised lyrics telling funny or sausy tales. A subset of son Huasteca is the most BEAUTIFUL of all Mexican songs, known as HUAPANGOS. These haunting tunes feature minor key melodies and often heart wrenching tales sang with great emotion and featuring powerful FALSETTO sections. Perhaps the most famous of them is the song about the passing of a great huapanguero (singer of huapangos) called Regociano el Huapanguero, done by many but most accessible to American audiences would be Linda Ronstadt's version on her Canciones de Mi Padre album.

When you get to southern Mexico, around Oaxaca and into the gulf region towards Guatemala, they have bands built around one or more MARIMBAS, an intrument of African origin made of wood stips on a frame, played with mallets. Modern versions of the instrument, made of metal instead, are the xylophone and it's companion, the vibes. Some music from this region feature two Guitars and voices, and have terrific and powerful guitar leads that would be the envy of any rock musician.

Out in the Yucatan, they are famous for their SERENATAS, usually trios of guitar players who sing in close harmony and mostly do stately and romantic boleros.

There are other regional styls in Mexico, but this is a quick overview of what Mexicans listen to!

Actually, as a Mexican-American, I can say that Mexicans listen to a wide variety of music. Some Mexicans listen exclusively to Norteño, Mariachi, Cumbias or Ranchera music, but most Mexicans listen to the three I just mentioned in addition to all sorts of other styles ranging from Rock to Classical and everything in between.
