“Close to the surface”
It takes me time to process what I’ve lived through. Every event has its own magic, challenges, joys, and sorrows. I haven’t shared my successes yet because I’m still savoring them in my body, in my own way and at my own pace.

The only word that matters is THANK YOU. Thank you to each of you for participating and sharing this new adventure with me. Thank you for understanding me without words or marketing. THANK YOU for reading my mind and my body, and for listening to my music—that is where I express my message.

I am not only an artist, but also a cultural ambassador who strives every day to bring two different worlds together. It is possible, because we are making it happen, little by little, together. 🙏💕
YES, You can help too and be part of this magical journey🎶

A flor de piel,
Me lleva tiempo asimilar lo vivido. Cada evento tiene su magia, sus retos, sus alegrías y tristezas. No comparto mis éxitos por que los sigo disfrutando en mi cuerpo a mi modo y con calma. La única palabra que importa es : GRACIAS, gracias a cada uno de ustedes por participar y viajar conmigo esta nueva aventura. Gracias por entenderme sin palabras ni mercadotecnia. GRACIAS por leer mi mente, mi cuerpo y por escuchar mi música donde es ahí que digo el mensaje. No solo soy artista, también soy embajadora cultural que lucha día a día por unir a dos mundos diferentes. Es posible, por qué lo estamos haciendo poco a poco juntos🙏💕
Tú también puedes participar y ser parte de esta nuevo camino 🎶

ALIGNMENT: I’M NOT NEAR where I want to be, but who cares?! I won’t be my own obstacle ! ☝️

Some teachers will say, “Practice slowly.” Others will say, “Practice with metronome .” You may have your own opinion on how Bach or another Allegro should be played or how I should play when you don’t even play onstage at all!

I would say alignment takes a combination of relaxation, tension, and letting go.

Some days I’ll have it; some days I won’t. Performance is a combination of consistency, preparation, and a little luck!!!!🍀

ALINEACIÓN: NO ESTOY CERCA
de donde quiero estar, ¡pero qué importa! No voy a ser mi propio obstáculo.

Algunos maestros dirán: “Practica despacio” . Otros dirán: “Practica con metrónomo ”. Cada quien puede tener su propia opinión sobre cómo debe interpretarse Bach o cualquier otro Allegro. Otros que ni tocan en público tendrán su opinión de cómo yo debería de tocar mejor.

Yo diría que la alineación es una combinación de relajación, tensión y saber soltar.

Habrá días en los que todo fluya y días en los que no. Interpretar en público es una combinación de constancia, preparación y un poco de suerte.

The Art of Listening – El arte de saber escuchar ⌛️ 5:00 a.m.
It is not about what my ears want to hear; it is about the message that truly matters. Whether I choose to hear it or not depends on me. 💕 To avoid confusion, I listen to my body and my inner voice with humility. The more honest and mindful I am with myself, the more beautiful the journey becomes.
Perhaps our destiny is already written—it is only a matter of time.
August 12- 15 Mexico 🇲🇽

El arte de saber escuchar ⌛️ 5:00 a.m.
No se trata de lo que mis oídos quieren escuchar; se trata del mensaje que realmente importa. Depende de mí si elijo escucharlo o no. 💕Para evitar confusiones, escucho mi cuerpo y mi voz interior con humildad. Mientras más honesta y consciente soy conmigo misma, más hermoso se vuelve el camino.
Quizás nuestro destino ya está escrito; solo es cuestión de tiempo.

There is not perfect love, why playing should be ? No hay amor perfecto, por que tocar la música lo tiene que ser ? CERTAMEN INTERNACIONAL DE GUITARRA XALAPA- ”Zaira Meneses”
Me enamoré de mi guitarra a los 12 años de edad, desde entonces mi vida ha sido un mar de bendiciones. Gracias a mis padres por darme la libertad de equivocarme, ahora solo espero que mi hija Raquel Fisk disfrute el camino de la música a su manera. I felt in love with music at age 12 , since then my life is nothing but a wave of blessings. Thanks to my parents for giving me the freedom to make mistakes. NO ONE IS PERFECT my only hope is my daughter enjoys the process as much as possible 🙏💕

Thank you Ғㄥøℝ for taking such beautiful pictures 💕💕💕 Zaira Meneses Thank Juan Pedraza for your wonderful support 🙏

at FIFA World Cup™️ Boston 2026 FIFA FAN FESTIVAL “Cascabel” Son Jarocho
Thank you Mateo Rull Garza
I had the joy of performing at the FIFA Fan Festival before the Mexico match.

Many people know me as a classical guitarist, but music has never fit into a single box for me. I also have a deep need to sing, dance, and celebrate the traditional and regional music of Mexico. Every time I step on stage in a new way, I leave my comfort zone—and that's where growth happens.

Through ZAI – Zaira Meneses Arts Institute and ALMA Boston, I had the privilege of inviting wonderful colleagues to share this performance. Yes, they are men, but they are artists who understand the importance of supporting a woman who is creating her own artistic path instead of asking her to stay inside one.

I may not be the biggest soccer fan, but I loved seeing thousands of people come together to celebrate culture, music, and community. It reminded me that art belongs everywhere—not only in concert halls, but also in public spaces where it can bring people together.

Thank you to everyone who made this experience possible. 🇲🇽❤️
