TKU: Tecamachalco Underground

Commissioned by El Grupo de Teatro Sinergia at El Teatro Frida Kahlo, Los Angeles, 2012.

 "The success of our piece SOLDADERAS was in great part thanks to the haunting score that TKU (César Gallegos and Mateo Latosa) composed for the play. The stories of four surviving soldaderas from four different regions and backgrounds was accentuated by TKU's compositions. From the sweet melodies reinforcing the little dreams of these brave women to the jarring and painful sounds when they recall the horror of the war and their personal traumas. An ode to the resilience and survival instincts of women, made music by TKU."
