I’m a visual artist and DJ from New Haven, Connecticut. My mixes are inspired by my family’s origins in Monterrey, Mexico, their migration to the US, and the music from Latin America that accompanied them on their journey and life in the US. This set is mixed with vinyl records I’ve been accumulating from the Northeast of the US to South of Mexico. For this mix, I’m imagining being at a family party and everyone gets up from their seat as soon as they hear a song they know and reminds them of their time in Mexico before emigrating to the US. Music my from my family’s past such as Cumbia Rebajada from Andres Landero and Lucho Campillo meets the present with Neo Cumbia artists like El Keamo and Turbo Sonidero and blends into House, Latin Disco, and Reggaeton. Throughout, I’m envisioning the joy that Latin music of all genres brings people of all generations together on the dance floor.
