Changing the Game in the Regional Mexican Scene

“Today we are more Mexican than ever, making our music in a dignified way, without looking for a hit, but for the simple fact of making good music. There are many exponents today who are trying to dignify regional Mexican music, many fresh proposals, many ideas trying to include lyrics with different content. In short, many people taking the genre to another level, which I believe is the responsibility that we, the exponents of regional Mexican music, have at this moment”.
