Adelita: Changing The Key (2023)

For this podcast I wrote some of the original music, which includes Mexican ballads, Mariachi, Corridos, Tejano, Dance Pop, among others.

I also contributed with electric and acoustic guitars, bass, and additional vocals.

Among the recorded pieces is “Tejanita,” a song inspired by the Tejano style of Selena y Los Dinos. The song was performed by Diane Guerrero.
