Yo Soy de Vallarta
Story Behind the Song
"Yo Soy de Vallarta" is my anthem to Puerto Vallarta, a song that proudly declares my love for this coastal town and everything it represents. It is the place that shaped me, and this is me planting a flag in it.
It is a life measured by the sea and the mountains and the warmth of the people, with our easygoing way of greeting each other and that unhurried rhythm the whole bay seems to move to. The song carries the flavors that make this place itself, the ceviche by the water, the mezcal shared among friends, the tacos at the end of a long night.
It is also a love letter to how Vallarta welcomes the world. People arrive from Canada, from Switzerland, from Japan, and somewhere along the way they stop being visitors and become one more local who feels at home. That is the magic of this town, the way it quietly catches your heart and refuses to give it back.
And if life ever knocks you down, this blessed land is the perfect place to begin again and find your joy. More than a postcard, the song is about belonging. Of all my songs, it is the one that says, most simply, where I come from.
