Carlos Rivera Unveils ‘Vida…’ EP as Día de Muertos Tribute in Hometown Huamantla

He calls the six-track release a Día de Muertos homage celebrating life through Mexican tradition.

Overview

  • Rivera presented the project during the fourth Vida Huamantla festival in Tlaxcala, aligning the release with the holiday’s commemorations.
  • The EP blends mariachi and other traditional Mexican sounds with contemporary production, adding sierreño textures and even a tumbado touch.
  • Its six tracks include “Larga Vida,” “No Es Para Menos,” “Almas,” “Alguien,” “Calavera,” and a duet with Ana Bárbara titled “Cuento de Nunca Acabar.”
  • Rivera describes “Almas” as his deepest tribute to his father and reiterates that Mexican remembrance focuses on celebrating life rather than death.
  • Coverage notes Rivera’s aim to carry this tradition to international audiences, with a large tour and a second installment of the project mentioned as plans expected to be detailed in coming months.
