Julio Jimmy

Alex GM

Metepec, Mexico

Biography

A founding member of the Metepec dance community, Alex GM has been participating in pre-Hispanic music and dance since 1991. He also plays various percussion and wind instruments with a local group called Guardian del fuego nuevo (Guardians of the New Fire). This is the group he is seen playing with on PFC’s “Words of Wonder/Get Up Stand Up” Song Around The World on PFC3.

How did you meet PFC and how was working with us?

We met through a link online, and it was a marvelous opportunity to include the music that shows our ancient traditions in a song with other talented musicians.

When and how did you get involved with music?

Music and rhythms have moved me since I was a child.

What does music mean to you?

Music is the power to thank and communicate with God without anything other than sound.

Do you have a favorite artist, album, or song?

John Lennon’s “Imagine”
