Influenced by Selena Quintanilla, Rocío Dúrcal, Jenni Rivera, Kali Uchis. Salena Quintero earned a scholarship to the prestigious Berklee College of Music, only to drop out after a professor told her to 'sand down the regionalism' in her Tejano-tinged voice. She returned home to Corpus Christi with a mountain of debt and a crisis of faith. Now, she writes fierce, vibrant cumbia-pop anthems for her hometown, channeling the stories of the Texas coast into a sound that proves the 'backyard' is where the heart is.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
El bochorno de la calle se pega en la nuca, un martes de noviembre.
Mis botas rechinan sobre el linóleo de la Primaria Zavala.
El aire huele a cera de piso y a promesas de papel.
La fila es una culebra lenta, dormida bajo el zumbido de un foco.

[Chorus]
Y el dembow de la paciencia
late en esta penitencia.
Un, dos, pasito a la cruz.
Un, dos, esperando la luz.

[Verse 2]
La señora de enfrente se abanica con una tarjeta de registro.
Lleva una virgen bordada en la bolsa, desteñida por el sol.
La trabajadora de la mesa me mira sin verme, y dice "Next, please".
Su inglés es afilado como el alambre de espino que divide el jardín de la casa.

[Chorus]
Y el dembow de la paciencia
late en esta penitencia.
Un, dos, pasito a la cruz.
Un, dos, esperando la luz.

[Bridge]
En el vidrio de un trofeo de basquetbol del ochenta y seis
veo la cara de mi abuela, una raíz terca en la sequía.
Ella también hizo esta fila, con otro nombre en la boleta y el mismo nudo en la garganta.

[Chorus]
Y el dembow de la paciencia (Mi voto es una espina)
late en esta penitencia. (Que florece en la ruina.)
Un, dos, pasito a la cruz. (Una gota de agua.)
Un, dos, esperando la luz. (Que rompe la jaula.)

[Outro]
Un, dos... marco mi nombre.
Un, dos... que no se borre.
