Jorge Chávez is a hybrid drummer, composer, and drum tech for Alex González (Maná / De La Tierra). A passionate sonic explorer, he uses Paiste cymbals to craft soundscapes across Yolihuani, Teruka, Padrinos de Reserva, Jazz con Jota, and his solo work México Abstracto, blending traditional rhythms with experimental edges.
