This meticulously curated mix of popular and lesser-known sones rooted in the western Mexican heartland of mariachi tradition is played with the typical virtuosity, superb vocals, and rhythmic precision of one of the world's greatest mariachis.

Trama Latina is in short, a tribute to the energy that swings between continents and cultures.
