Chords for The Making of "Teléfono" in Mexico City - Jessica Hernandez & The Deltas

_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
I don't feel like I had my [E] first real [A] Mexico experience [Gm] until I came to Mexico City.
Hi, I'm Jessica Hernandez of Jessica Hernandez and the Deltas from Detroit, Michigan.

With [Cm] this second album, it was really important for me [F] to record in Spanish.
I guess the [G] main reason is because my [N] abuela has been asking me since I was like 10 years old,
since I quit singing, she's been bothering me like,
you need to sing in Spanish, you need to sing in [C#m] Spanish.
_ _ _ [C#] Oh, what do you want from me?
_ _ I'm going to open it, I'm getting full.
_ [F#] You know, my family's getting older and [C] it was really important [C#] for me to kind of like connect with them
and connect with like my Cuban and Mexican heritage by doing an album in Spanish.
And I guess it was really important for me to do it in Mexico too, just because I thought,
I don't know, it just makes the experience that much more real [A#] and lets me connect that much more
with my [C#] heritage and with my culture.
Growing up in the U.S., you know, you can become super separated from the things that, you know,
are a part of you and a part of who you are.

_ _ I guess my main [B] inspiration for this album, like as far as like the [D#m] Mexican culture,
was more of like not one particular [Cm] artist or style,
but more of like the rhythm [Bm] of like [A#] Latin music in Mexico.

How sounds this? _ _ _
_ It's been _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ a _ little bit difficult recording in Spanish.
You know, the first couple of days I got into Mexico City was just reading through the songs
and editing lyrics and making sure that I felt like what I was saying in English
was coming across in Spanish in a different way than what I was saying in Spanish.
The hardest thing was just, you know, a lot of my songs are hard to sing even in English.
It's like all over the place.
My melodies are crazy. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ So trying to translate that into Spanish and not have it sound super crazy has been hard.
And it's just like the songs that are really fast, like there's lines that are like tongue twisters in Spanish. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Normally to say something in English you need three or four notes, in Spanish you need at least twelve. _ _
