Fe is the appropriately entitled new album from Mexican rapper, Indho. His first solo production is chock full of lyrics that speak to the notion of faith. Themes range from faith in family and friends (“Son Primero,” “El Día”) to faith in the social/political empowerment of his homeland, Mexico (“México Va,” “Donde Está”). He pays homage to his Mexican roots in other areas as well; the album is seasoned with various interludes reminiscent of ancient Mexican tribal rhythms, and cumbia is an obvious influence in the track “Vamos.” The first single, “Son Primero,” incorporates brilliant lyrics with acoustic guitar riffs. This production definitely mirrors beautiful Mexico with its rich blend of a variety of sounds and influences.
