Local singer, songwriter unveiling new music video

Local singer and songwriter Freddie Duran is unveiling his new music video, and he wants all of Maricopa to come along for the show.

“It is a song that looks at the immigration issue from the average Mexican immigrant,” Duran said.

However, he added, the song by no means is meant to be a political statement.

The song, “Where the Birds Sing in Spanish,” and the video to the song will be premiered on a 12-foot screen July 12 at 8 p.m. at El Zocalo Grille, 28 South San Marcos Place in Chandler.

The video, directed by John Koop of Arizona Virtual Studios, was originally intended to be part of the soundtrack for a movie, in production, about the immigration issue.

“We’re sure it (the song) will become a substantial portrait that succeeds in capturing an unstable point of time in Arizona’s history,” Duran said.

Following the event, InMaricopa will bring the video to those unable to attend.
