The following Master's Thesis consists of two descriptive papers of two Creative Projects and a Performative Analysis. The first creative project describes an experimental approach to the famous Mexican son, La Llorona, as my first step towards a new sub-genre: Experimental Mexican Traditional Music. The second creative project is a composition, with a political subject, of an Opera Aria that integrates elements from Mexican folk music. The third paper is a Performative Analysis of how I built an emotionally expressive performance of the piece "A su retrato" by Georgina Derbéz, a piece that I performed in my Master Recital in my second year in the Music Department at UC San Diego.
