Valenciano

Discography

Jesus Serrano Huitron is a currently inactive member of 3nsambl3, a Mexican guitar ensemble, who came together with the purpose to form an original repertoire, based on unique and unpublished compositions, arrangements and transcriptions, as well as fostering improvisation. 

Next to his addition as a virtuous guitarist, he allowed the group to be technologically independent, since his studies in audio engineering and recording gear have let him record the group ("Santo Antonio" and "Fantasía Tropical", this last one as a quartet with Ernesto García de León) with outstanding results. 

Jesus is currently active as an audio engineer for several projects and is open for new ones for anyone interested in his services and recording gear (link).
