Soy, Estoy

Closing song from the musical "מיתוסים . Mitos . Kamanalis" with lyrics by Sara Cooper, music by Jaime Lozano and additional lyrics by Jorge Castilla.

¿Y Qué?

On most of the songs I tried to retain the song's original dramatic through-line, but this one has such a history as a standalone popular song that I decided to give it an all-out jazz arrangement.

Most recently, Jaime has performed sold-out shows at Two River Theater, Joe’s Pub, and The Green Room 42 with his concert “Jaime Lozano and the Familia: Songs by an Immigrant,” which features an all-Latino line up of Broadway stars. The show spotlights the immigrant experience in the United States—finding a new home, learning a new language, dealing with discrimination, pursuing the American Dream, and building bridges instead of walls. Jaime is currently working on the album for this project. 

Other professional associations include his affiliation with the New York City-based non-profit organization R.Evolución Latina, where he serves as activist, teacher, music arranger, and head composer. Jaime was part of the Graduate Musical Theatre Writing Program at NYU and the BMI Lehman Engel Musical Theatre Workshop. He is currently a voting member of the Latin GRAMMY and GRAMMY Awards and is a proud member of BMI, The Dramatists Guild of America, Inc. and American Federation of Musicians Local 802.
