Dan Vera presented us in 2012 his first album "In Cuikatl El Canto" cantos nahuas neomexika and in October 2021 he offers us his second album "Fuego Nuevo".
On both albums he has set music to the texts of the recording and translation work of the most important researcher of the thought and literature of the Nahuatl culture in the 20th century, Miguel León Portilla, who informs us of his songs and offers us legends and traditions that unveil. the worldview of the Nahua people merges with their current thinking of the contemporary Mexican.
Preserving "our old" would be in this reinterpretation, updating it.
