This thesis introduces an analysis of production of the music group Control Machete which belonged to a broader music stream called A vanzada Regia in the nineties of the twentieth century in the city of Monterrey. The production of Control Machete reflects two music genres: rock and hiphop. First chapter summarizes the historical development of rock in Mexico; the differences in comparison to the historic situation in the us are indicated as the genre was overtaken from the us cultural scene. Rock history of both countries is drawn from the social and political point of view. Second chapter contains a historical overview as well: it summarizes the specific features of the style, its relation to the social environment and its historical transformations. Last chapter contains the analysis of the verbal production of Control Machete: reflected influences are studied as well as the expressed social conditions of the production.
