This concert was made possible partially thanks to the generous support from the UC San

Diego Academic Senate General Campus Research Grant Program.

Thank you so much UC San Diego Department of Music for all your support. My gratitude goes to Professor Steven Schick, Teddy Cruz and Fonna Forman, and the UC San Diego Center on Global Justice Team, including Paúl Moscoso, Jonathan Maier, Chau Nguyen, and to Casa Familiar, in particular to Héctor Castro and Francisco Morales, for your invaluable help in bringing this concert to San Ysidro, and our long-term collaboration to activate the UCSD–CASA Community Station.

Un agradecimiento especial va para la gran comunidad de San Ysidro. Gracias por recibirnos en su casa.

It has been a great privilege to have collaborated with incredible poets and musicians on this project. My undying gratitude goes to Nuria Manzur-Wirth, Ricardo Cázares, Tania Favela, Mónica Morales Rocha, Nadia Mondragón, Mariana Flores Bucio, Miguel Zazueta, Madison Greenstone, Rocío Sánchez, Camilo Zamudio, and artist Esther Gámez Rubio.

Thank you all for your amazing talent and generosity. A special thank you goes to my dear friend and great poet Ronnie Yates, who read through, made important suggestions, and helped me translate the texts for Pequeña familia into English.

Pain is an essential part of human life. I am thankful for my pain because it carries my need to grow and accept change. In many ways, my pain keeps me alive. I wrote these pieces from the deepest corners of my pain, with the hope that we all begin to understand what our pain actually means and does for us. May we all learn how to carry it with dignity, compassion, and love.

I want you to know how deeply sorry I am, before I break down.

Quiero que sepas, antes de que me quiebre, cuánto lo siento.
