Over the last few years, Jaime Guevara and EZ Band have unapologetically transformed popular music songs into Spanish-English norteñas, blowing the minds of those who never would have thought of a particular song in that style, and introducing many to either the norteño music world, or the original version of the song.
From the Killers to Adele, and from Taylor Swift to the Smiths, no song and no style is off limits to the creative collision of musical worlds happening inside Jaime Guevara's mind.
In his renditions, he also adds other Latin American flavors such as cumbia, ranchera, or whatever he feels like the song needs to fully adapt to his musical world.
He said he often hears a song and just starts wondering, "How would the drums sound if it was a norteña?" Then he turns to the bass, the accordion and the guitar. And if it all works out, he takes this blueprint to the other band members for their feedback.
The band then records and performs the song together to put up on social media and eventually on their Spotify and YouTube channels.
