Nuevas Raíces

Nuevas Raíces is a project I have developed to blend the two worlds of my Mexican roots and heritage with the traditional styles of classical music that I have come to know and love.

The sweeping sounds of strings from a Mariachi, the rhythmic brass from a Norteño, the slow guitar melodies from a balada. These are all aspects of my cultures music that I grew up with and have been musically influenced by.

 

Nuevas Raíces honors Mexican culture through the exploration and sharing of classical music written for the guitar by contemporary Mexican composers. Composers who have also been influenced by the same sounds and colors that define Mexico’s modern day vibrant culture. Nuevas Raíces aims to explore, present, develop and expand upon the classical repertoire being written by todays Mexican composers.
