Yamaha Psr S650 Expansion Packs
'Yamaha releases the new Mariachi, Norteno & TexMex pack, expanding on the success of the Banda Pack released last year. This pack contains 3 different categories of musical genres: the Mariachi with real Vihuela, Guitarron, Mariachi Trumpets and more; the Norteno with the accordions and Bajo Sexto that provide that iconic Norteno sound; and the TexMex that is influenced by the Norteno, but uses more contemporary instrumentation, a little more sophisticated harmony and syncopated drums. The new samples featured in this pack are used to build a variety of Mega Voices, used for programming the Styles and to make playable Voicesfor the performer to solo with. Also included in this pack is a number of Gritos (calls) and Chifidos (whistles), providing a high level of authenticity.'
And the press release:

Following on the success of the popular Banda expansion pack released by Yamaha last year, this new offering was enthusiastically received by performers of all skill levels during demonstrations at the 2014 NAMM show held in Anaheim, California this January.
“Like Banda, Mariachi and Norteño music continue to grow in popularity not only in Mexico, but throughout the U.S. and in the Mexican-American community and around the world and across diverse cultures,” said Mark Anderson, director of marketing, Keyboard Division, Yamaha Corporation of America. “We see great potential in our latest expansion pack that puts new instrument Voices and Style sections along with other authentic touches that enable any musician to fully explore these vibrant folk music styles.”The Mariachi and Norteño Voice and Style expansion pack provides wide access to the signature sounds that make these genres come alive:
Mariachi: Real Vihuela, Guitarron, Mariachi trumpets and more;
Norteño: Accordions and Bajo Sexto;
TexMex: Sophisticated harmonies and syncopated drums
The expansion pack adds yet another layer of authenticity and fun to these Mexican musical forms with a varied selection of Gritos, the fun, vocal exclamations, and Chifidos (or whistles) that add energy and flavor to the music.
The new samples featured in this pack can be integrated into a variety of Mega Voices that can be used for programming Styles and creating playable Voices for performers to use in solos.

The pack's Joe sent in and his comments are listed below: PSR-S650_YEP_Styles.zip - contains 99 styles in three packs:Brazil, Indian, and Best of Europe) Note that there are some unique ethnic instrument voices included in these style packs that you will have to revoice. PSR-S650MexicanPack1_styles.zip - includes 12 Mexican styles. PSRA2000MaghrebPack_Styles.zip - Here are some wonderful African beat styles. They sound great … very different than anything we have heard before. A20005-Best-Of-EuropeV3_styles.zip and DemoMidiBest-Of-Europe.zip -- Here are the European styles for the PSR A2000. There are 40 styles in this collection. About a dozen are the same as the PSR 650 European Collection, but the rest are different. SOme interesting time signatures in this group. Also included are the midi demos that came with the style pack. There were Registrations that came in the style pack too, but I assume they will only work correctly with the A2000; they could not be loaded into my S910. Again, very different than the styles that came in our PSR S910 or Tyros4 keyboards. A2000GCC-MiddleEastPack_styles.zip -- 16 Middle East styles for the PSR A2000. This brings the number to 182 new PSR S650 and PSR A2000 styles we can play on our late model PSR and Tyros keyboards. PSRA2000IranPack_styles.zip -- Here are the last of the free style Yamaha Extension Packs for the PSR A2000. You should now a total of 8 style packs. 4 for the PSR S650 and 4 for the PSR A2000. If my count is correct there are 193 styles with only about 10 or 12 duplicates styles (which may actually have some differences in voice assignments or style part variations). I went through them all and only a couple of Indian styles needed to be 'tuned' as you call it (there is only silence when you load them into the keyboard). For example, those Indian styles need to have the Indian drum Kits assigned to the 2 drum parts and some sort of undetermined instrument must be assigned to the Pad part of the style as well.
