Karín Cruz is LACATTRINA’s vocalist and joined the band in 2017. She is the woman in the current line-up connected to this video release.

From Mexico City to “Baila Calaca”
LACATTRINA formed in Mexico City in 2015. The band drew on Mexican folklore in its folk metal, first issuing the EP “Día de Muertos” in 2019 and then the full-length album “Todos muertos, todos santos” in 2023. “Baila Calaca” is the band’s latest named release and arrives in video format on Jade Empire Music.
