Tuzeint - Raixes (2023) [Hi-Res]

Tuzeint is a 30 year old singer, musician and producer from Monterrey who mixes psychedelic soul, alt-RnB and jazz with the traditional sounds of Central America. With his debut album Raixes (Roots) he presents his first release sung entirely in his mother tongue - an ode to his heritage, home and authentic voice. Reinforcing the Monterrey connection, ESP. are co-releasing Raixes with local label Worldwide Records, run by legendary Mexican artist, DJ and A&R Toy Selectah.

On Raixes, native Mexican instruments like the jarocho and leona colour the album’s melting pot sonic palette, which lifts influences throughout the Spanish speaking world - from Buena Vista Social Club to Arthur Verocai, rapper C Tangana to flamenco guitarist Vicente Amigo. Across Raixes’s nine tracks, Tuzient contends with his identity as an artist, son and partner, exploring female divinity, mortality, imagined paternal conversations, confronting emotions and surrendering to a higher power. This is the sound of an artist comfortable with his own vulnerabilities, proud of where he’s come from and ambitious to help define the contemporary sound of his home.
