Story Behind the Song
"Tu Historia Vive Hoy" (Your Story Lives Today) is about refusing to let my mother fade into the past tense. As the album moves past the loss, this song turns toward her legacy, the promise that her story keeps being told, in our family and in this music.
It begins where she began: in a humble house in Huetamo. We had very little, but she always found the strength to carry her children forward. That strength was matched by her character. She was honest and direct, someone who said what she thought with the truth always in front, and she did it with a laugh that was impossible not to catch.
She was also our teacher. She shared the stories of her own ancestors and sang the songs of other times, handing down her values and her memories so they would not be lost. In her hardest moments, her daughters and loved ones stood beside her, holding her lessons tenderly, and even those of us who had to leave home carried her voice with us as a constant guide.
So this song is my way of giving thanks for everything she planted. Her story lives in every one of us now, from her grandchildren to her nephews and nieces, and I made this music to make sure her memory is never extinguished. Today, and not only in memory, her story lives.
