classic Mariachi to create an intriguing contemporary fusion that will
speak to listeners across generations. This heartfelt story is the
perfect medicine for soothing a broken heart, and fans will find
themselves sharing a glass of tequila among friends as they cast their
pain away. “El Wey Fui Yo” is also a powerful anthem for play during

The official music
video, filmed under the direction of Gerardo Huerta, is available to
watch now on YouTube and follows ElArturo as he grapples with his
feelings and the loss of his love. Compelling scenes alternate between

the past, and spending time with friends as he deals with his heartache
and ponders how he’ll be able to move on.

captivating sound that breaks all the rules, blending regional
Mexican-inspired guitar with elements of indie, urban and alternative
styles, ElArturo speaks to the meaningful moments—both big and

love and heartbreak with listeners around the world. From his unique
clothing style to the use of local vernacular in his songs, he remains
connected to El Mezquital, Durango, the town where he was born, carrying

innate musical abilities, to the global stage.
