It has also been a cultural process, as I am from the North [the border state of Sonora], where banda music thrives more than mariachi, or any other genre.

Another time was when I won a Latin Grammy, and I was nominated alongside Don Vicente. I remember it was one of the worst moments of my life! I didn’t want to be nominated to compete against him, because I don’t consider myself at his level. But to hear him sing that night with his son Alejandro and his grandson [Alex] was very powerful for me. It’s one moment I will never forget. When he sang, the words that came out came from the soul.
