Betto is back from Mexico with 3 tracks all recorded at a legendary studio in Coyoacán, Mexico. The spirit of son cubano and Caribbean music in Mexico intertwine in “Juego” by the late Roberto González and his daughter Julia González Larson. The violin sings in “Ojos Serranos” by trio Los Descarados. Plus sounds from Colombia, Venezuela and Morocco all come together in “Suelta Caudal” by Colectivo Novo Zambo.
