“All my music without exception is rooted in the Son Jarocho and the Rumba. Underneath is the influence of the traditional music of Mexico and the Caribbean. My tropical–rural background always comes to the forefront in one way or another. These influences are a constant in my nature wether it is in a small role or a larger panorama. I am first and foremost, like the Mexican poet Carlos Pellicer used to call himself, a True Tropical Man.” Ernesto García de León
