Aztlán by Cabrakaän

Aztlán tells different stories from Mexican history, as you will see in the lyrics and track listing. This theme plays a role in both the lyrics and the music – it’s when they’re put together that the album truly becomes something special. Musically, there are many complex elements and a lot of styles are incorporated, and this represents how many influences make up who we are. Percussion is one of civilization’s first musical instruments, so we spent a lot of time incorporating different styles that helped tell the story. We also incorporated a lot of orchestration including a live string ensemble, organs, traditional Mexican folk styles, and more to truly bring the music to life.
