Irene Albarrán shakes things up with new single "Tiembla"

Irene Albarrán latest musical single, "Tiembla,"  showcases a lively mixture of comedy and strength that embodies the cultural pulse of Mexico City, adding a comedic touch. Drawing on Afro-Huapango influences and Latin jazz, Albarrán produces a lively musical landscape that turns the unsettling event of a nighttime tremor into a joyful and rhythmic homage to life.

"Tiembla" narrates the tale of an earthquake with a light-hearted approach, yet maintains a strong connection to the shared experiences of residents in a region accustomed to frequent tremors. Albarrán utilizes humor as a coping mechanism, enabling audiences to face fear with a grin. A skilled group of musicians, which includes Manuel Viterbo on guitar, Roberto Blanco on piano, Adrián Flores on bass, and Rivelino Quiroz on percussion, supports her vocal performance. The musical guidance of jazz expert Iraida Noriega, who also contributes backing vocals, enhances Albarrán's dynamic performance.

After gaining recognition for her cover of Shakira's "Hay Amores" and being featured on Horizonte Jazz 107.9 FM, Albarrán's second single "Tiembla" is part of her upcoming EP Escucha, scheduled for release in January 2025. This new song not only emphasizes her distinct style, but also demonstrates her eagerness to reach out to audiences outside of Mexico, presenting a modern twist on traditional Mexican beats with a jazz touch.
