Born on October 17, 1975 and raised in Chihuahua,
Chih. México, Adrián Terrazas González
grew up surrounded by the traditional music of Central-America, from Danzón,
Boleros and Rumba to Son and Mambo. Adrián began developing his musical ability
at the age of 10. He was inclined to play the flute with an understanding of
classical music and a peculiar attraction to ancient Aztec music. Five years
later he took on the tenor saxophone. His grandmother, a "Rumba Nut",
according Adrián, urged her grandson in that direction, but the young player had
already picked out a model for himself - John Coltrane.
2001 was a year that would profoundly impact
Adrián’s music. While pursuing his sociological and musical studies at The
University of Texas at El Paso he learned more about the transmission of these
ideas and theories through music. In an effort to track the development of
certain philosophical and spiritual traditions observed by ancient cultures,
Adrián arranged to meet, learn and creatively collaborate with musicians involved
with traditions originating from West Africa. One of his main interests was the
Yoruba tradition (predominantly out of western Nigeria), the ancient African
religion underlying Santeria (Cuba and Puerto Rico), Candombl (Baha, Brazil),
Vodun (Haití) and Cu Taan (México).
In 2004, Adrián joined The
Mars Volta on the album Frances
the Mute and continues to work with the
band on subsequent albums (Live Scabdates 2005, Amputechture 2006) and all Mars
Volta side projects (movie scores,
DVD‘s etc). The group includes guitarist and band leader Omar
A. Rodriguez-Lopez, “…one of the
most creative writers in Rock music. Playing with his band has helped develop in
me a higher level of awareness and creativity” - Adrián Terrazas González ,
lyricist/vocalist Cedric
Bixler-Zavala, bassist Juan
Alderete de la Pena, guitarist Paul
Hinojos, drummer Thomas
Pridgen , percussionist Marcel
Rodriguez-Lopez and keyboardist Isaiah
Ikey Owens. Working with The Mars Volta
and Omar A. Rodriguez gained Adrián further exposure and renown, particularly in
Europe. The Mars Volta also appeared as the musical guest on the Henry
Rollins Show in April 2007.
Adrián’s solid performance and versatility
grants him the opportunity to perform with a wide variety of professionals in
the musical world. Adrián has shared the stage and recorded with Larry
Harlow, Erik Unsworth, Dr. Willy Hill, Dr. Donald Wilkinson, Damo Suzuki, Lenny
Castro, Money Mark Nishita, Jay Azzolina, Los Lobos,
for Universal Records The Mars
Volta, Reggie Young, Ozomatli, EMI

2007), Robert Carranza, John

Adrián’s professional involvement with the
music industry has continued to develop under his own publishing El
Regimen Music BMI. He collaborates with
an eclectic number of international musicians, tours on an intensive yearly
worldwide schedule, while at the same time teaches workshops to numerous school
districts and universities around the Southwest and West Coast areas in addition
to the northern and central regions of México.
