Over the years, we keep coming across artist we feel deserve wider recognition and assistance in bringing their music to the world stage, and we decided to form the Border Sessions Music Label to address their needs.
We believe exposure to music from different parts of the world can help open a dorway to other cultures. Listening to music is an excellent way to make a connection with people who are very different than yourself, and it can create a common ground that overcomes most of the barriers that separate people of different cultures. Exposing people to music they might not otherwise get to learn about helps pave the way towards greater appreciation and respect for diversity of cultures and people as individuals.
The music of Aldo Garcia is infused with the spirit, vitality and passion of life in Mexico. Haunting melodies drift over the persistent, rhythmic pulse of the drums drawing listeners into the magical tapestry of interwoven instruments and vocals. The music is a reflection of the spiritual awakening undertaken by Aldo during an arduous evacuation through the Guatamala-Chiapas (LACANDONA jungle) jungle after sustaining serious injuries from stepping on a landmine. Inspired by the fragility of life, the strength of nature, the spirituality of his ancestors and the compassion of his people, Aldo's music is composed of the energy and magic of the Selva Maya.

El Tule (el TOO-lay) has been honing its unique Latin/World sound combining influences of Cumbia, Merengue, Salsa, Cuban and Reggae, among others. The music is influenced by art, history and culture often focusing on legends and tales of the mystical. Fan favorites include El Chupacabra, an eerie tale of the legendary goat sucker, La Ruta Maya, a pounding tribute to the famed Mayan Route and Media Noche, an ode to the dream like hours between night and daybreak. The ever evolving sound is a natural progression brought forth by different backgrounds, experiences and influences. While adhering to the bands original goal, the sound has taken its own course. The sound..."El sonido" that El Tule brings to each performance naturally transcends all cultural and social backgrounds. Simple, El Tule is for those who love to dance, feel good and enjoy the positive expression of music.
