Mexican-American singer Adriel Favela is back and better than ever with his 10th studio album, Origen. In a recent interview with Deco, he gave fans an inside look at his musical journey and personal life.
Adriel Favela (singing): “Se vuelve loca cuando se junta conmigo. A ella le gustan las trocas, ropa cara y los corridos.”
Favela, known for his smooth fusion of corridos and mariachi, is embracing his roots on this album after spending time experimenting with mariachi. “Corridos are in my veins, in my heart,” he shared, reflecting on his musical evolution.
Adriel Favela (singing): “Princesa, se me encela y me marcan las otras, pero a todas yo las mando a buzón. Yo estoy pa’ ella darle amor.”
While in Miami, Favela couldn’t help but gush about the Magic City. “I love Miami. I love my album. I’m in the right place with the right people,” he said, all while soaking in the energy of the city he’s come to adore.
Adriel Favela (singing): “Si hoy la vida me sonríe, es porque siempre he aguantado los vergazos.”
Returning to his roots after years in the mariachi scene, Favela shared that corridos will always be a part of him. “I hear corridos, and it’s just a different type of pump,” he explained, as he delves deeper into the heart of traditional Mexican ballads.
Adriel Favela (singing): “Contamos con protección, Esa del Señor y la de mi ‘apá, que es un viejo lobo.”
Not shy about getting personal, the singer revealed that his music is a reflection of his life: “My personal life is my music, it’s what I express. It’s always been real — what I lived, what I sing, what I write.”
Adriel Favela: “Oh, my God, I miss the food, I miss the vibe of the people. The people here are crazy; their vibe’s always happy, even when they fight in the traffic. Honestly, if I could, I would live here, no doubt.”
Adriel Favela (singing): “Se bajan, se suben. Los vestiditos allá en las nubes.”
With Origen marking a new chapter in his career, Favela is more present than ever, fully embracing collaborations and a future filled with good music. And when it comes to performing, Miami’s famous beachfront festivals are calling his name.
Adriel Favela (singing): “I’m a festival guy. I love festivals. The festivals you guys do here, beachfront, are crazy.”
