La Música de un Verdadero Original: Jorge's Magical Fusion
When you heard un track de Clorofila, you knew you were in for algo rico. Verdín had a knack for fusing traditional Mexican elements like banda, norteño, and tambora, con el ritmo vibrante of modern electronic music. It was a sabor that only he knew how to mix. His talents played a huge part in putting the Nortec Collective on the map.
Bearing the Essence of Tijuana
Nacido y criado in Tijuana, Jorge carried the spirit of his ciudad in every beat he dropped. He was orgulloso of his roots and never shied away from manifestándolo through his music. We'll forever remember him for sculpting Tijuana's soundscapes, giving voz to the city's vibrant mix of lo tradicional and lo contemporáneo.
Amarillo, Sabor a Despedida
The news of Jorge's passing resonó throughout the music mundo. His most recent album, “Ahora Es Cuando,” released in 2020, now feels like a painfully poetic adiós. It's a gutsy mix of electro cumbia y sonidos futuristas, showcasing his evolution as a musician, consistently pushing the boundaries of what música Mexicana-electrónica could be. Jorge, hasta siempre, carnal.
