Here are no Mexican stereotypes. Paredes expresses her heritage through imagination, politics, poetry, language, composing in fine detail. Torres Sáenz, musiciancum- philosopher, with inspiration from written texts, combines poetic images and acoustic sensations. Their teacher, Mario Lavista, introduced a new generation to new music.
