Album lore

Though modest in duration, the recording has garnered considerable attention, reflected in over 600,000 Last.fm scrobbles by more than 60,000 listeners. It stands as a contemporary expression within the lineage of música mexicana, appealing to crate-diggers and boutique DJs seeking resonant signals from the northern Mexican borderlands’ musical traditions.
