"The amount of talent
and passion you’ll hear behind these recordings will be apparent, but its
strength lies in its collaboration. Once again, various cultures borrowing and
exchanging ideas from one another, mixing them, and then laying them down on
tape to create something special and original."

Look At My Soul (The Latin Side of Texas
Soul) is out TODAY.
It was originally assembled as an Amazon Original before they
started their Amazon Latin initiatives. Today it is available on all digital platforms.
Adrian’s career has taken leaps and bounds since we originally recorded
and released the album exclusively on Amazon, as the Black Pumas
continue to thrive. The collaborators on the album are an eclectic
mix of contemporary artists and legends of an original Texas soul scene.
They include Black Pumas, as well as Aaron Frazer of
Durand Jones & The Indications, Brownout, David Hidalgo and Steve Berlin from
Los Lobos, and Tejano legends including Ruben Ramos, Johnny Hernandez
and David Marez
(who more recently was featured on the Khruangbin album “Late Night
Tales”).
Look at My Soul: The
Latin Shade of Texas Soul is out everywhere today. Curated by
Nacional Records, this lovingly-crafted project finds GRAMMY-winning
Texas producer Adrian
Quesada of The Black Pumas returning us deep inside the
heart of a unique multicultural fusion with the assistance of many
original musicians who gave birth to this distinctive regional sound,
along with a new generation of Texas musicians who they inspired.
“Texas soul to me is a
unique Texas take on what we know as soul music, in a way that could have
only happened in this state. You had this melting pot of black, brown,
white; and you had proximity to the Mexican border adding influence…what
has been exciting to me about making this record has been the process of
working with some of these living legends – getting them in the studio,
hearing and documenting their lifetime of stories…and honor the fact that
these people opened the door for us to do what we do now.”
- Adrian Quesada
