This new musical chapter is co-produced by an elite team including Latin GRAMMY nominee Andy Abad, Cindy Shea (founder of the multi-GRAMMY-winning Mariachi Divas), and Aaron Nicholas himself.

The highly anticipated project features a star-studded lineup, including a duet with the Mariachi Divas, and showcases the musical brilliance of the late, legendary guitarist Ramon Stagnaro, acclaimed producer and keyboardist Cheche Alara, and Pepe Carlos of the GRAMMY-winning group La Santa Cecilia.
