Guia Rivera - Recording Artist (Vocalist)
"Yet, surprisingly, Guia Rivera never ceases to showcase gritty, artistic sensibility through her music. " -- Philippine Weekly
Guia Rivera is a striking Eurasian beauty. Her Oriental looks are Filipino mixed with Spanish and German ancestry.
The Latin Alternative scene is actually a new frontier for the singer-songwriter. She came across this route after growing weary of auto-tune overload on commercial radio. With a style of music she has coined "eclectico," Guia Rivera has ventured into hiphop, dancehall, Latin jazz, r & b, and even Middle Eastern sounds. The performer was recently seen improvising Selena's "Tu Solo Tu" with a mariachi band at Burrito Feliz in Little Village after attending the Cafe Magazine party at Horseshoe Casino. The impact of both her English and Spanish songs has found favor with certain public radio personnel in Sweden. Also, on the high seas, the USS Rentz just played her Latin jazz ditty "Te Verde" in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month. Extra News recently picked up on the breakthroughs of her career as a bilingual artist, crediting her as "Chicago's most popular female singer" with the release of her underground anthem "Graffiti." In 2007, radio personality Luis Jimenez got a hold of her reggaeton club banger "Camaleon" and introduced Guia Rivera with her first breath of airplay on his nationally syndicated radio show. Rivera finds freedom in the release of her current single "Escondido" as she expresses her hidden love for rock en espanol. "Escondido" will be revealed on television for the first time. The question is, can she rock? We'll soon find out. This is the first time she will be playing with blues musician Alexander Mejia.
Alexander Mejia - Guitarist
Alexander cultivates his on-stage presence as lead guitarist for Eddie C. Campbell. This self-taught musician was naturally drawn to the blues, creating the framework for his classical training, and leading to a music scholarship, as well as offers to have his work entered into the National Music Library. He vividly expresses his passion and skill for the blues by exploring new sounds through guitar, bass, and piano.
In addition, he has shared the stage with the likes of, Laurie Bell, Phil Guy, Buddy Guy, Willie Kent, Guy King, Walter Scott, Ron Holister, etc. and played at The Kingsten Mines, Buddy Guy's legend and other blues clubs around Chicago, as well as the Pennsylvania Pocono Blues Fest, the Kansas City Blues Fest, and the Chicago Blues Fest, etc.

Guardo mis secretos (I guard my secrets)
Este alma es un caos adentro (This soul is a chaos inside)
Y si tu sabias, que harias (And if you knew, what would you do?)
Me dirias que soy tonta (Would you tell me I'm stupid?)
Y me escupirias en la cara (Would you spit in my face?)
Porque te deje en la obscuridad (Because I left you in the dark?)
Mira mi amor no es sencillo (You see, my love it's not that simple)
Mi pasion escondida (This hidden passion)
De nuevo una realidad (Once again a reality)
Y si tu sabias (And if you knew)
Lo que yo siento por ti (What I feel for you)
Y si tu sabias (And if you knew)
Me mirarias igual que (Would you look at me the same
Antes de descubrirlo (Before you discovered it,
Este amor escondido en mi (This love hidden in me)
Dame mas tiempo (Give me more time)
Este alma es un glaciar lento (This soul is a slow glacier)
Y si tu sabias, lo derretirias? (And if you knew, would you melt it?)
Hay siempre alguien en tu vida (There's always someone in your life)
Y yo en tu memoria (And I in your memory)
Soy la pagina que la borras (I'm the page that you erase)
Deseo que creas que soy especial (I desire you to believe that I am special)
Tu estrella en el mundo celestial (Your star in the celestial world)
Pero porque mi olvidas? (But why do you forget me?)
Y si tu sabias (And if you knew)
Lo que yo siento por ti (What I feel for you)
Y si tu sabias (And if you knew)
Me mirarias igual que (Would you look at me the same
Antes de descubrirlo (Before you discovered it,
Este amor escondido en mi (This love hidden in me)
Ohhh la la la
Yeaaa ayyyyy
Y si tu sabias (And if you knew)
Lo que yo siento por ti (What I feel for you)
Y si tu sabias (And if you knew)
Me mirarias igual que (Would you look at me the same
Antes de descubrirlo (Before you discovered it,
Este amor escondido en mi (This love hidden in me)
Hmmm, hmmmm en mi (in me)
