Becky G plunges into 'alt-música Mexicana,' recruiting its best new artists and covering rancheria icons in 'Esquinas.'
What has been the most challenging aspect of establishing yourself in this realm?
There’s a cover of “Por Un Amor” on there. We added kind of an electric guitar feel to it, it’s a very specific sound I associate with being Chicana. The idea came because I was playing one of my favorite songs ever, “Sleep Walk,” which appears in the Richie Valens movie, “La Bamba.” It has a similar slowed-down guitar. “Los Astros” also has somewhat of a Los Panchos feel.
You’re covering songs with a lot of history on this record as well, songs written and sung by a lot of influential men from the genre like[Aguilar’s] “Un Puño De Tierra” is my answer if someone were to ask me how I feel about life. The same people you see on your way up are the same people you see on the way down. So, treat everyone with the same love and respect and care and compassion.
I always point to the songs I have with Danny[Lux] and Ivan Cornejo as examples, the sound is not your typical— there’s a newness to it. What Peso [Pluma] has been able to accomplish, what Gabito [Ballesteros] has done — there is a new school that is so proud of where we come from, but also knows that in order to keep going, we have to expand. And that’s something that isn’t taught in our culture.
