COLLABORATIONS
A special collaboration with Residente and Silvia Perez Cruz in Madrid's Museo del Prado, where we recorded a live version of Residente's song 313. I had the honour to compose and play a violin solo
During my years in New York, I was part of the afro-amerindian mexican band Jarana Beat, directed by the great Sinuhe Padilla Isunza. I recorded violin parts in the triple album Vibracion por Simpatia, where more than 55 artists collaborated. Being part of this band was a fundamental part of my musical path. It is with them that I started singing in public and improvising in the Jarocho style. I still join their performances whenever they come to Europe!

Through the mexican and latin-american musical community in New York, I met the ladies of Flor de Toloache, the first all-female mariachi band of the city, founded by Mireya Ramos and Shae Fiol. For a year and a half, I toured with them across the United States, as well as Colombia, Iceland, and Mexico. I also recorded violin on their album Indestructible. Their inimitable style, magnificent vocals and unique arrangements were influential in my development as a singer, performer and arranger.
