De Brujas Peteneras y Chachalacas

The transfeminine artist Octavio Mendoza, operating as La Bruja de Texcoco, reclaims and radicalizes traditional Mexican folk music through a deeply queer, esoteric lens. The album heavily features sweeping harp and violin arrangements, blending regional styles like Son Jarocho with themes of witchcraft, folklore, and indigenous mysticism. It stands as a vital, incredibly brave cultural document within modern Latin American roots music.
