With the age of 12 she started playing músic. Since 1997 she joined the coir of the San Luis Potosí músic school, which at the same time was playing with the sinfonic orchestra. In 2000 she finished her músic studies. She worked for several years with children only a few weeks old up to the prescolar age. In 2004 her project about promocion of the Tének language by músic was approved and she started with the work for the CD which is presented here.
