Back in the day, I was in a band called Amenanza del Sur (2006) based out of the San Antonio-San Marcos-Austin, TX area. We didn't do many shows but were able to craft a sound inspired by salsa-metal greats Puya. Amenaza del Sur applied our beloved chuntaro style cumbia rhythm and salsa to metal. I hope at least an EP will surface whenever I finish my dissertation. "¡¿Ya pa' qué!?" is inspired by the classic corrido "El soldado razo," which explores and critiques the brief life at war of many private first-class soldiers, often Chicanos, Latinos, and African Americans on the front line. However, during the start of the current war in Iraq, the U.S. military began to recruit in México and Central America. Some of the fallen soldiers were given posthumous U.S. citizenship...¡¿Ya pa' qué?! 

¡¿Ya pa' qué?!

A song about the everyday struggle with anxiety, especially social, political, and workplace anxiety, yet learning self-acceptance and seeking healthy ways to get through.
