Huasteca is a big area in mexico and the song is probably the most popular serenata song - translated as serenade I guess? A sort of tradition where someone hires a mariachi band to go visit a loved one and sing to the them at doorstep/window... no idea how they do it in big cities - anyhooo I'm cheating on that one since the lyrics don't really mention the huasteca region at all

69. SMC Hoodrats - (untitled)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kn2VcdTsy-U
I like this one in particular, because the bits with the first two rappers are shot in (and they rap about) the district of North Helsinki I grew up in, and the fourth rapper's bit takes place right next to where I live now (in Northwest Helsinki).

And yeah, they jacked the "Shook Ones Pt. II" beat for that tune... Which is why it's never been released on record.
