Delano is not a wealthy community, but it is rich in culture, which has played a huge part in my music. I come from a community of people who work tirelessly to provide for their families and to ensure that their kids will have it better. That has inspired me not only to work hard for what I want in my music, but also to pursue higher education so that I can return to my community and give them what they deserve: the chance to seek better opportunities for themselves.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/AGnwfDgXkHA'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/AGnwfDgXkHA'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On singing in Mixteco, one of the indigenous languages of Oaxaca:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I am not fluent in Mixteco, so at times you can hear my accent or some mispronunciations. I did an internship last summer at a hospital in Oxnard, which is where many Oaxacan immigrants work in the strawberry fields. I helped translate what patients were saying to the doctors.

I'm still going to be playing mariachi [at Harvard with the university’s band, \u003ca href=\"https://mariachiveritasdeharvard.com/\">Mariachi Veritas de Harvard\u003c/a>].

They've been nothing but supportive of my music aspirations. But I've also seen how difficult it can be when your sole source of income is how many gigs you can get on one weekend.
