Calzada México-Tacuba is inspired by one of the most emblematic avenues in Mexico City, built on top of one of the original roads that connected the island of Tenochtitlan with the mainland. This is Saul's birthplace and hometown. He evokes all the deep history, nostalgia, struggle, flavor and urban movement of one of the world's greatest metropolises with this arrangement. The late Nuyorican Latin Jazz icon Jerry Gonzalez is featured on trumpet. For Johnny (Dandy) Rodriguez (RIP) and Mario Grillo (RIP).
