width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;There are souls that seem to have been born to decipher the deepest mysteries of the universe and translate them into pure art. In the heart of the talented Molly Hentze, music is not merely a combination of chords and notes; it is a relentless heartbeat, a refuge, and above all, an unwavering declaration of faith in the most sublime feeling that dwells within humanity. After tracing her story, her roots, and her meticulous creative engine, this fourth installment immerses us fully into the psyche, inspiration, and profound philosophy that bring her compositions to life.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Behind every lyric and melody that the Quetzaltecan artist has been painstakingly preparing lies a spark ignited by real-world experiences, unforgettable memories, and an everlasting complicity with her producer. When discussing the genesis of her repertoire and that playful, affectionate constant &quot;bickering&quot; with Juanfer, the purest essence of her calling emerges. With a smile and a conviction that disarms anyone, Molly shares her greatest certainty: &quot;I love writing about love. About love, yes—I feel it is the most powerful force that exists in the universe.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;iframe allow=&quot;autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;152&quot; loading=&quot;lazy&quot; src=&quot;https://open.spotify.com/embed/track/1YZQlkjMWwHU2T6iYd52kx?utm_source=generator&quot; style=&quot;border-radius: 12px;&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;&gt;
&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;For her, this vital engine knows no barriers or discouragement. It is a transformative energy capable of sustaining us in our darkest hours and elevating our joy to the heavens: &quot;Love can heal, love makes you happy, love helps you forgive, love helps you overcome any difficult situation you might be going through. It is incredible—a loving hug can lift you right back up, right?&quot; That very purity permeates each of the eight songs she holds in her repertoire, pieces conceived almost entirely during the last four years of her life, a period marked by exceptional artistic maturity: &quot;Most of my songs talk about that—about such a pure, beautiful feeling.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Far from seeking the superficiality that sometimes wraps the current industry, the Guatemalan singer-songwriter&#39;s desire goes far beyond fleeting applause; she seeks an emotional and spiritual communion with those who listen. With a tenderness so sincere that it moves listeners to tears, she expresses the true purpose of her work: &quot;I want people, when listening to my music, to feel—because many say &#39;feel,&#39; but they don&#39;t actually feel. I want them to truly feel and believe in love, because love is beautiful. Love will never bring anything bad back into your life, never.&quot; It is this honest devotion, devoid of any calculating intention or selfishness, that teaches us that when you give your heart genuinely, existence always finds a way to return it multiplied: &quot;It doesn&#39;t matter if someone treats you poorly—if you gave that love from the heart in a very honest and pure way, life will return that to you, right?&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Her lyricism seeks to touch the innermost corners of human consciousness, sparking a catharsis that reminds us what it feels like to be alive: &quot;I can tell you that I will probably keep writing about that, but I really want my music to excite people, to make you cry tears of joy if you happen to feel something—that is, to touch the deepest fibers of people&#39;s souls. That is my greatest desire.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCdmoAnuE8TBQ68hnnkzKjECphT6Z0_vCBn8p_xtdj-F1QgOE80dyfygcQso2d-QPO7joIdsTV1IB5RVW6hhCXf17YiyQDYhZ6xU1Qxi7TUGStfspgL-xxqCvAHqHyonVOceGdLYzK1NUln6WH5a_NVIpLTYfKxSBuD1Cl9MhoXaLrn-udpzQgOA/s1728/IMG_6819.png&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1728&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1459&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCdmoAnuE8TBQ68hnnkzKjECphT6Z0_vCBn8p_xtdj-F1QgOE80dyfygcQso2d-QPO7joIdsTV1IB5RVW6hhCXf17YiyQDYhZ6xU1Qxi7TUGStfspgL-xxqCvAHqHyonVOceGdLYzK1NUln6WH5a_NVIpLTYfKxSBuD1Cl9MhoXaLrn-udpzQgOA/w540-h640/IMG_6819.png&quot; width=&quot;540&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Yet Molly Hentze&#39;s soundscape is as vast and dynamic as her own personality. Although English country music has established her as an undeniable pioneer in Guatemala, her passion for traditional and contemporary music drives her to look toward new horizons without ever losing her identity. With a laugh, she recalls how people tease her about her unmistakable style and her weakness for rural aesthetics: &quot;It&#39;s funny, because they always tease me and ask: &#39;Why country? If you didn&#39;t sing country in English, what would you sing?&#39; Maybe I&#39;d sing country in Spanish, or I&#39;d sing rancheras, or maybe I&#39;d sing banda, I tell them. And they tell me: &#39;Anything that has to do with hats, right?&#39; And I&#39;m like: &#39;Obviously—anything that has to do with hats and the countryside.&#39;&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;This creative openness will soon allow her to surprise her audience by exploring sister genres that carry the same weight of passion and emotion: &quot;You probably won&#39;t just hear me singing country; I also want to experiment a little bit with those other genres, which are also beautiful and very powerful for conveying emotion, you know?&quot; She reveals that memorable romantic ballads, rancheras, and authentic corridos await us: &quot;I love romantic ballads, obviously; I am fascinated by rancheras and corridos, and further down the road you&#39;ll probably see something like that from a couple of songs I have ready in those genres.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;iframe allow=&quot;accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;315&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/Zs_hbUV1W7s&quot; title=&quot;YouTube video player&quot; width=&quot;560&quot;&gt;

En el corazón de la talentosa Molly Hentze, la música no es meramente una combinación de acordes y notas; es un latido incansable, un refugio y, sobre todo, una declaración inquebrantable de fe en el sentimiento más sublime que habita en la humanidad. Tras recorrer su historia, sus raíces y su meticuloso engranaje creativo, esta cuarta entrega nos sumerge de lleno en la psique, la inspiración y la profunda filosofía que da vida a sus composiciones.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Detrás de cada letra y cada melodía que la artista quetzalteca ha estado preparando con esmero, se esconde una chispa encendida por vivencias reales, recuerdos imborrables y una eterna complicidad con su productor. Al conversar sobre el génesis de su repertorio y esa más que tierna &quot;pelea&quot; constante con Juanfer, surge la esencia más pura de su vocación. Con una sonrisa y una convicción que desarma a cualquiera, Molly comparte su más grande certeza: &quot;Yo amo escribir sobre el amor. Sobre el amor, sí, yo siento que es la fuerza más poderosa que existe en el universo&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;iframe allow=&quot;autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;152&quot; loading=&quot;lazy&quot; src=&quot;https://open.spotify.com/embed/track/1YZQlkjMWwHU2T6iYd52kx?utm_source=generator&quot; style=&quot;border-radius: 12px;&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;&gt;
&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Para ella, este motor vital no conoce de barreras ni desalientos. Es una energía transformadora capaz de sostenernos en las horas más oscuras y elevar nuestra alegría hasta el firmamento: &quot;El amor puede sanar, el amor te hace feliz, el amor te ayuda a perdonar, el amor te ayuda a salir de cualquier situación difícil que estés viviendo, es increíble, un abrazo con amor te puede levantar tar, ¿verdad?&quot;. Esa pureza es precisamente la que impregna cada una de las ocho canciones que guarda en su repertorio, piezas concebidas casi en su totalidad durante los últimos cuatro años de su vida, marcados por una madurez artística excepcional: &quot;La mayoría de mis canciones pues hablan de eso, de ese sentimiento tan puro, tan hermoso&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Lejos de buscar la superficialidad que a veces arropa a la industria actual, el anhelo de la cantautora chapina va mucho más allá del aplauso efímero; busca una comunión emocional y espiritual con quienes la escuchan. Con una sensibilidad tan tierna como solo ella lo sabe externar, que conmueve hasta las lágrimas, expresa el verdadero propósito de su obra: &quot;Yo quiero que las personas al escuchar mi música sientan, porque muchos dicen &#39;sentir&#39;, pero no sienten. Yo quiero que realmente sientan y crean en el amor, porque el amor es hermoso, el amor nunca te va a traer nada malo de vuelta a tu vida, nunca&quot;. Es esa entrega honesta, desprovista de cualquier intención calculadora o egoísmo, la que nos enseña que cuando se da el corazón de forma genuina, la existencia siempre encuentra la manera de devolvérnoslo multiplicado: &quot;No importa si una persona te paga mal, si tú ese amor lo diste de corazón y de una forma muy honesta y muy pura, la vida te va a regresar eso, ¿verdad?&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Su poesía lírica busca tocar los rincones más recónditos de la conciencia humana, provocando una catarsis que nos recuerde qué se siente estar vivos: &quot;Te puedo decir que probablemente siga escribiendo sobre eso, pero sí quiero que que mi música emocione a la gente, que te hagan llorar de la felicidad si tú llegas a sentir algo, o sea, que toque las fibras más profundas del alma de las personas. Ese es mi mayor deseo&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0UD_ZWDIbAsUj9u-Em-xrFjmPEmfFvFK_6rCPdJrUjxvKil670Tg62sLeRIEFbHaO9DOyUA7S_QPYQk7rzNdmidm3KLXv_C8fPi5EQoVtQKsGwGhBnYAL8n-9vxT2JVvn88vfDB4HaJzZTtAHcwd0gk-thWZxL26KP17faItc5YRWBvjLN97MGA/s1728/IMG_6819.png&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1728&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1459&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0UD_ZWDIbAsUj9u-Em-xrFjmPEmfFvFK_6rCPdJrUjxvKil670Tg62sLeRIEFbHaO9DOyUA7S_QPYQk7rzNdmidm3KLXv_C8fPi5EQoVtQKsGwGhBnYAL8n-9vxT2JVvn88vfDB4HaJzZTtAHcwd0gk-thWZxL26KP17faItc5YRWBvjLN97MGA/w540-h640/IMG_6819.png&quot; width=&quot;540&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Pero el universo sonoro de Molly Hentze es tan vasto y dinámico como su propia personalidad. Aunque el country en inglés la ha consagrado como una pionera indiscutible en Guatemala, su pasión por la música tradicional y contemporánea la impulsa a mirar hacia nuevos horizontes sin perder jamás su identidad. Entre risas, recuerda cómo bromean con ella sobre su inconfundible estilo y su debilidad por la estética del campo: &quot;Y da risa, porque me molestan siempre y me dicen: «Pero, ¿por qué country? Si no cantas country en inglés, ¿qué cantarías?». Tal vez cantaría country en español, o cantaría rancheras, o tal vez canto banda, les digo, y me dice: «Todo lo que tenga que ver con sombreros, ¿verdad?», y yo: «Obviamente, todo lo que tenga que ver con sombreros y campo»&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Esa apertura creativa le permitirá muy pronto sorprender a su audiencia explorando géneros hermanos que comparten la misma carga de pasión y sentimiento: &quot;Probablemente no solo me vayan a escuchar cantar country, también quiero experimentar un poquito con esos otros géneros, que también son hermosos y para transmitir también son muy poderosos, ¿sabes?&quot;, revelando que nos esperan baladas románticas memorables, rancheras y corridos llenos de autenticidad: &quot;Me encantan las baladas románticas, obviamente, me fascinan las rancheras y los corridos, que probablemente más adelante vayan a ver algo así de un par de canciones que tengo ahí listas en esos géneros&quot;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;iframe allow=&quot;accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;315&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/Zs_hbUV1W7s&quot; title=&quot;YouTube video player&quot; width=&quot;560&quot;&gt;
&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Esta cuarta entrega nos confirma que Molly Hentze no es solo una intérprete excepcional, sino una tejedora de emociones, de sueños, pero sobre todo... de amor, que ha decidido entregar su alma entera a través del arte. Su historia continúa escribiéndose con la tinta indeleble de la pasión, la disciplina y un amor profundo por la vida y por su gente.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;No te pierdas la última entrega de esta fascinante serie en nuestro sitio web, donde seguiremos descubriendo los secretos, la mística y los nuevos pasos de una artista excepcional que vino a transformar la escena musical desde las tierras altas o el altiplano de Quetzaltenango para el mundo.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;¡Gracias a JnJ Entertainment Group, Jennifer Medrano y Jessica Luteeran por hacer esta entrevista posible!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Agradecemos a Restaurante Catas Xela por sus atenciones y por brindarnos el espacio para realizar esta entrevista.

When Molly Hentze&#39;s music has crossed borders and reached the ears of producers in the United States, the initial reaction is usually filled with wonder. Faced with the inevitable question about which foreign studio achieved such quality, the artist from Quetzaltenango responds with deep, genuine satisfaction: “In Guatemala.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;iframe allow=&quot;autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;152&quot; loading=&quot;lazy&quot; src=&quot;https://open.spotify.com/embed/track/1YZQlkjMWwHU2T6iYd52kx?utm_source=generator&quot; style=&quot;border-radius: 12px;&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;&gt;
&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;To shape this project, weekend schedules require a constant trip to the capital city, specifically to Juanfer Herrera&#39;s Studio 502. Far from seeking options outside the country, Molly fully trusts national talent, describing her producer with a blend of admiration and complicity—not only as an industry genius, but as an authentic &quot;musical genius&quot; living among mixes and arrangements, achieving a level of sound that has nothing to envy of any other nation: “Juanfer has equipment—wow!—nothing to envy of any other country, right? And he, being a genius, a total genius, but musical. He never leaves the studio and he works magic; he works magic there.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;That same patriotic pride extends flawlessly into the visual direction of her works, where Guatemalan landscapes become the undisputed protagonists. The music video for her debut release, Falling Into You, found its ideal backdrop at Hacienda El Baluarte, located in Chicacao, Mazatenango. Among carefully cared for Spanish-bred horses and a dreamlike natural environment, the production flowed smoothly thanks to the warm hospitality of the Moll family—a place where respect for animal life completely captivated her, delivering a visual atmosphere as breathtaking as it is touching, with the scenery combining with the beautiful equipment found there: “The horses are Spanish; the ones they have, I can tell you, are impressive. I mean, being next to those horses is just wow! How well-trained they are, how they treat them with so much love, with so much respect... they take better care of them than of me, hahahaha,” the artist laughs as she makes this confession, clearly pleased with everything accomplished at this location.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;The duality of her artistic vision is enriched by adding a top-tier international perspective, guided by renowned American director Ben Hobbes. Coming from Oklahoma with an impressive career working alongside major figures in the US industry, Hobbes traveled specifically to capture the project through his lens. This collaboration will be repeated very soon to bring her third song&#39;s music video to life—a true emotional anthem: “We&#39;re shooting the music video for my third song, which I&#39;ll give you a sneak peek of, is called &#39;Road to Oklahoma&#39;. It’s a song we have a lot of faith in. That song is incredible. From the moment you press play, it embraces you, it captures you, and it makes you want to listen to it again and again and again,” she shares excitedly about this upcoming trip, which promises to capture unique sunsets and unmatched surprises. She is also keenly watching people&#39;s reactions to the track: &quot;And the people who have had the chance to listen to it, I swear their... I observe a lot, and their first reaction is always «ah!», right?&quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/iframe&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;First part of the interview&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Meanwhile, the highly anticipated release of her second single, I Say Yes, shifts the visual magic directly to the highlands of Quetzaltenango. Directed by Meme at Labor La Selva—an impressive event space surrounded by nature and fresh air on the way to Los Vahos—the setting immediately evokes the purest essence of the countryside and the country music genre. Its beauty is such that many mistake the location for foreign landscapes, to which Molly always proudly replies: “A beautiful place. Everyone asks: ‘Is it here or in the United States?’. And I’m like: ‘No, it’s here in Xela’, ‘In Xela?’, and I say: ‘It’s here in Xela, it’s a gorgeous place’.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqn0z7xSanUeHJNI6TNKjthgy0ZK0rV2rKPCGZhO98La8T0c7oCm4knoGehNwE-KjtsJMW3IOiBtwcWPHy4fnOaJo-X-SPRg2ZURvuq80y0oANzAow-kFJqzNv-Snkj9JxUMGR0lOaFDyJef5dXuzoRo-BtHUPrenAGP7htaT4grPxkBfKMkHwjQ/s1723/IMG_6858.png&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1500&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1723&quot; height=&quot;558&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqn0z7xSanUeHJNI6TNKjthgy0ZK0rV2rKPCGZhO98La8T0c7oCm4knoGehNwE-KjtsJMW3IOiBtwcWPHy4fnOaJo-X-SPRg2ZURvuq80y0oANzAow-kFJqzNv-Snkj9JxUMGR0lOaFDyJef5dXuzoRo-BtHUPrenAGP7htaT4grPxkBfKMkHwjQ/w640-h558/IMG_6858.png&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;The singer is excited for people to enjoy the landscape in this video: &quot;They will be able to see all the beautiful places in the video, the little details it has of something truly magical, surrounded by lots of trees, lots of nature. Eh, it takes you to that country feeling, right?, of the countryside.&quot; She gets so excited that she confesses she would love to live there: &quot;If you have the chance to go and visit, to get to know that place, it’s incredible; I would love to live there. Yes, it’s beautiful,&quot; she says, her face lighting up completely like someone in love with the place.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;However, it is not just the environment and the atmosphere, but also the deeply moving song itself, which Molly hopes people can use for that special moment when a lifelong proposal is made: &quot;I hope with all my heart that you like it, that you enjoy it, and that you fall in love all over again with the person you&#39;re with when you listen to it, and that... and that you use the song for that special moment, right?&quot;—something that many couples will undoubtedly do during that unforgettable milestone.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;This journey across capital-city studios, coastal haciendas, Quetzaltenango mountains, and a future connection with Oklahoma proves that Molly Hentze&#39;s music knows no geographical boundaries. With a &lt;i&gt;chapina&lt;/i&gt; soul and a universal calling, the artist continues to build an unbreakable bridge between her roots and her greatest dreams, reminding us that true art flourishes wherever you give it your heart.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Don&#39;t miss the upcoming installments of this fascinating series, where we will continue discovering the secrets, passion, and next steps of an artist who came to transform the music scene.

Cuando la música de Molly Hentze ha cruzado fronteras y ha llegado a los oídos de productores en Estados Unidos, la reacción inicial suele estar cargada de asombro. Ante la inevitable pregunta sobre en qué estudio extranjero se logró semejante calidad, la respuesta de la artista quetzalteca resuena con una profunda y genuina satisfacción: “En Guatemala”.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;iframe allow=&quot;autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;152&quot; loading=&quot;lazy&quot; src=&quot;https://open.spotify.com/embed/track/1YZQlkjMWwHU2T6iYd52kx?utm_source=generator&quot; style=&quot;border-radius: 12px;&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;&gt;
&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Para dar forma a esta propuesta, las jornadas de fin de semana exigen un viaje constante hacia la ciudad capital, específicamente al Estudio 502 de Juanfer Herrera. Lejos de buscar opciones fuera del país, Molly confía plenamente en el talento nacional, describiendo a su productor con una mezcla de admiración y complicidad, no solo como un genio de la industria, sino como un auténtico &quot;genio musical&quot; que habita entre mezclas y arreglos, logrando un nivel sonoro que nada tiene que envidiarle a ninguna otra nación: “Juanfer tiene un equipo, ¡guau!, nada que envidiarle a ningún otro país, Y él, que es un genio, pero musical. No sale del estudio nunca y hace magia, hace magia ahí”.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Ese mismo orgullo patrio se extiende de manera impecable hacia la dirección visual de sus obras, donde los paisajes guatemaltecos se convierten en los protagonistas indiscutibles. El videoclip de su carta de presentación, Falling Into You, encontró su escenario ideal en la Hacienda El Baluarte, ubicada en Chicacao, Mazatenango. Entre ejemplares equinos de origen español cuidados con esmero y un entorno natural soñado, la producción fluyó gracias a las cálidas atenciones de la familia Moll, un lugar donde el respeto por la vida animal la cautivó por completo, regalando una atmósfera visual tan imponente como conmovedora, con el paisaje combinado con los preciosos equipos que ahí se encuentran: “Son españoles los caballos, los ejemplares que ellos tienen, te puedo decir que son impresionantes, o sea, estar a la par de esos ejemplares es ¡guau!, cómo los tienen educados, cómo los tratan con tanto amor, con tanto respeto... los cuidan más que a mí, jajajaja” rie al hacer esta confesión la artista, la cual se muestra complacida con todo lo realizado en este lugar.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;La dualidad de su propuesta se enriquece al sumar una perspectiva internacional de primer nivel, de la mano del reconocido director estadounidense Ben Hobbes. Proveniente de Oklahoma y con una trayectoria que impresiona a cualquiera por haber trabajado junto a grandes figuras de la industria norteamericana, Hobbes viajó especialmente para plasmar su lente en el proyecto, una colaboración que se repetirá muy pronto para dar vida al videoclip de su tercera canción, un verdadero himno emocional: “Vamos a grabar el videoclip de mi tercera canción, que te adelanto, se llama &#39;Road to Oklahoma&#39;. Es una canción a la cual le tenemos mucha fe. Está increíble esa canción. Desde que le pones play ya te abrazó, ya te capturó y te dan ganas de volverla a escuchar y volverla a escuchar y volverla a escuchar” comparte emocionada sobre este próximo viaje que promete capturar atardeceres únicos y sorpresas inigualables, quien también está atenta a la reacción de las personas ante esta canción: &quot;Y las personas que han tenido la oportunidad de escucharla, te juro que su... yo observo mucho y su primera reacción siempre es «¡ah!», ¿verdad?&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;Primera parte de la entrevista con Molly Hentze&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Por su parte, el esperado estreno de su segundo sencillo, I Say Yes, traslada la magia visual directamente a las tierras altas de Quetzaltenango. Grabado bajo la dirección de Meme en Labor La Selva —un impresionante espacio de eventos rodeado de naturaleza y aire puro camino a Los Vahos—, el escenario evoca de inmediato la esencia más pura del campo y del género country. Su belleza es tal que muchos confunden el paraje con locaciones extranjeras, a lo que Molly responde siempre con orgullo: “Un lugar hermoso. Todo el mundo pregunta: ‘¿Es aquí o es en Estados Unidos?’. Y yo: ‘No, es aquí en Xela&#39;, &#39;¿en Xela?’, y yo: ‘Es aquí en Xela, es un lugar preciosísimo’”.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfFrgKAKY8eu-Cbuu5tusbJ9sxShAuAG5ciqYVknMkPBjS229XhwticPUWA-G071U5aRLBBCbVZ7WCk_gTzDpiJD4iHbG10xB8chozVlMPuSm1GTF2u7bGGMNU2UiHPDDOeSwiPn28AZfnzT-chg6quzgTevEefUfI5-QtviMzAi1DmW9-461P_w/s1723/IMG_6858.png&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1500&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1723&quot; height=&quot;558&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfFrgKAKY8eu-Cbuu5tusbJ9sxShAuAG5ciqYVknMkPBjS229XhwticPUWA-G071U5aRLBBCbVZ7WCk_gTzDpiJD4iHbG10xB8chozVlMPuSm1GTF2u7bGGMNU2UiHPDDOeSwiPn28AZfnzT-chg6quzgTevEefUfI5-QtviMzAi1DmW9-461P_w/w640-h558/IMG_6858.png&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;La cantante está emocionada porque las personas puedan disfrutar del paisaje en este video: &quot;Van a poder ver ya en el video todos los lugares hermosos, los detallitos que tiene de algo mágico, de verdad, rodeado de muchos árboles, de mucha naturaleza. Eh, te lleva a ese a ese sentimiento country, ¿verdad?, de campo&quot;, tanto se emociona que confiesa le gustaría vivir allí: &quot;Si tienen la oportunidad de ir y visitar, conocer ese lugar, es increíble, yo quisiera vivir ahí. Sí, es hermoso&quot; lo dice con la cara totalmente iluminada como enamorada del lugar.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Pero no solo es el ambiente y la atmósfera, sino también la canción tan emotiva que Molly espera que las personas la puedan utilizar para ese momento especial en donde se realiza la propuesta para toda la vida: &quot;espero con todo mi amor que les guste, que lo disfruten y que se enamoren de la persona con la que están nuevamente al escucharla y que... y que utilicen la canción para ese momento especial, ¿verdad?&quot; algo que sin dudas llevarán a cabo muchas parejas en ese momento inolvidable.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Esta travesía entre estudios capitalinos, haciendas costeñas, montañas quetzaltecas y la futura conexión con Oklahoma demuestra que la música de Molly Hentze no conoce límites geográficos.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;It’s official! Talented Quetzalteca singer-songwriter Molly Hentze has reached a historic milestone in her musical career by officially entering the consideration phase for a GRAMMY® Award nomination.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;This major achievement comes thanks to &quot;Falling Into You,&quot; a moving duet in collaboration with prominent musician Juanfer Herrera. The news marks a moment of immense pride not only for Quetzaltenango, but for the entire Guatemalan music scene.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;In Her Own Words: Molly Hentze&#39;s Heartfelt Message&lt;br /&gt;
After the news was made public, Molly shared her awe and deep gratitude on social media, revealing the human and artistic meaning behind this accomplishment:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;
 &quot;Still taking this in.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
With those words, she began her statement, reflecting on the magnitude of seeing her work reach the highest stages of the international industry:&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlPS9jxtKGOdpeqsrTEHWYSr1bYbMLsSDjr65HgHilhQWenFlUWVhhxVfKaM9_si-5RgjobepOcCHw_Rtshxm0xuRZoDZjVY8eo1xKP4y4hZjslaX1TmESiyRA-SdbAMvkFWtd68ZKllRXvC17nkg9B_SkTxplhOk2vIBU6u5juqMMuTmllNolLA/s1600/IMG-20260908-WA0024(1).jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1600&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1187&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlPS9jxtKGOdpeqsrTEHWYSr1bYbMLsSDjr65HgHilhQWenFlUWVhhxVfKaM9_si-5RgjobepOcCHw_Rtshxm0xuRZoDZjVY8eo1xKP4y4hZjslaX1TmESiyRA-SdbAMvkFWtd68ZKllRXvC17nkg9B_SkTxplhOk2vIBU6u5juqMMuTmllNolLA/w474-h640/IMG-20260908-WA0024(1).jpg&quot; width=&quot;474&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;
 “‘Falling Into You’ is officially entered for GRAMMY® consideration.&lt;br /&gt;
 To see a song that means so much to me reach this moment alongside Juanfer Herrera is incredibly special. What started as a story, an emotion, and a song created from the heart is now taking a step I once only dreamed about.&lt;br /&gt;
 For a country artist from Quetzaltenango, Guatemala, this moment means more than I can put into words.&lt;br /&gt;
 So grateful to everyone who believed in this song, worked on it, listened to it, and has been part of this journey — and especially to jnjentgroup for believing in me, supporting this project, and helping us take this step forward.&lt;br /&gt;
 For Your GRAMMY® Consideration — ‘Falling Into You’ 🤠🤎&lt;br /&gt;
 Molly Hentze &amp;amp; Juanfer Herrera&lt;br /&gt;
 ✨ THANKS jnjentgroup FOR MAKING DREAMS COME TRUE!! ✨🚀🤍”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 1.00em;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 1.00em;&quot;&gt;A Firm Step Toward the Future&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 1.00em;&quot;&gt;Molly Hentze&#39;s journey in the Country genre — a style traditionally less explored in the region — proves that passion and authenticity know no borders. Her synergy with Juanfer Herrera and the support of her team have been key to bringing the flag of Xela and Guatemala into consideration by The Recording Academy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After taking her first step with her debut, Molly Hentze enters a stage where record production ceases to be a studio secret and becomes a precisely geared machine. Fortunately, Molly is in great company and has a complete support network with people specialized in every relevant aspect of her professional artistic facet. After all, in every great story, there are excellent characters—we refer to a great team and great elements that are a vital part of the journey of great protagonists. In Molly&#39;s case, this is no different. We will get to know more about them in a moment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;height: 0px; max-width: 100%; overflow: hidden; padding-bottom: 56.25%; position: relative; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

  &lt;/iframe&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;With a repertoire that already totals eight ready tracks and a release schedule planned for the coming months, the artist from Quetzaltenango now understands the arduous rigor behind the industry. &quot;I now respect artists so much more, because I didn&#39;t know that behind being able to launch a song correctly, with the steps you have to take, with the permits you have to have, there is a lot of work behind the scenes,&quot; she shares as she reflects on this learning journey where there is no room for improvisation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;iframe allow=&quot;autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;352&quot; loading=&quot;lazy&quot; src=&quot;https://open.spotify.com/embed/album/1Xsgxi4F6NNCC5lo9HYJVK?utm_source=generator&quot; style=&quot;border-radius: 12px;&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;The fruits of that effort are soon to be revealed with the release of her second and third singles, pieces that explore different nuances and slower tempos. The first of them, a soft and deep ballad, portrays the solemnity of a lifelong commitment. &quot;For me, it&#39;s a song that speaks about the pure, beautiful, and real feelings that must exist to reach the point of taking that step... what that love is like—so big, so powerful—that has to exist to be able to go and say &#39;I do,&#39;&quot; she details regarding the inspiration behind the chords.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;This sensitivity contrasts with and at the same time complements the energy of Falling Into You, her introductory track, consolidating a proposal where lyrical honesty is the common thread: &quot;it talks about what love is to me and what it was at the time, with a person who was my partner, well, what I felt, right, being in love with him.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Behind each arrangement lies a co-creation process alongside prominent national and international talent, such as producer and multi-instrumentalist Juanfer Herrera, Venezuelan drummer Sammy Suárez, and Dani Ramírez: &quot;I came to Dani Ramírez with my lyrics. He helped me with the musical composition&quot;—something undoubtedly relevant to carrying out this great production.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;The enthusiasm and availability of her producer made everything flow smoothly: &quot;I took my demo to Juanfer and he told me: &#39;Perfect, I love the song, it&#39;s very, very, very beautiful, let&#39;s work on it,&#39;&quot; the singer-songwriter from Quetzaltenango recalls with joy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Likewise, as humble as she is, Molly acknowledges the great talent of the professionals who have collaborated with her in making these productions: &quot;Juanfer is not only an artist, he is a producer, but besides that he is an instrumentalist; he recorded ninety percent of the instruments for that song.&quot; She recognizes her producer&#39;s innate talent in this field: &quot;I always tell him, &#39;this is your genre,&#39; country fits him perfectly.&quot; She also humbly reflects on what she has been able to experience: &quot;I have learned so much with him (Juanfer), because as I told you, I was passionate about music, listening to music, but behind that there is a universe, right?&quot; She cannot contain her enthusiasm as she tells it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;However, without proper percussion, there could be no proper rhythm, she acknowledges: &quot;Sammy Suárez, who is a spectacular Venezuelan drummer, was the one who recorded the drums for my three songs that you are going to hear right now in these upcoming months,&quot; she comments excitedly.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;This evolution has also required a personal commitment to artistic growth, incorporating formal singing and vocal technique classes. &quot;I have learned so much... I was passionate about music, listening to music, but behind that there is a universe, now looking at it from the other side—not just as someone who listens to music, but someone who creates it, who produces it,&quot; she expresses regarding her transformation from an empirical performer to a conscious creator.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Behind every great artist is a team that supports their dreams with experience, trust, and absolute dedication. Sustaining this growth requires a solid structure that goes beyond recording studios. For Molly, her team has transformed into an extension of her own family, a multidisciplinary group that coordinates every detail of her international reach from Los Angeles to Quetzaltenango. &quot;They are not my team, they are my family, because we have to talk every day, we have to put up with each other every day... without them, I couldn&#39;t be who I am today,&quot; she states with gratitude when mentioning the work of her managers Jennifer Medrano, Jessica Luteeran, and Roger from Otro Flow Music, as well as the financial guidance of her business manager Carlos Zimmerman and the visual talent of Edwin and Meme.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdkhyc15ZW8oxo2PQebuk9hMSfbdOgLfuF5f7zXQDqaCvCIVRwcwMkaIsO7Dj4JSU9Ki5AKqPyW6xCoFCWKUrzEcnmtqla0XcN7pTK7VW3hRDnNRZambK_YKAjdLPAE4nR_ZexYttKzOkyyT27irj6cfNB-0__nUO0XpXmxXChpMoob9KJdHd-wQ/s1728/IMG_6830.png&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1728&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1268&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdkhyc15ZW8oxo2PQebuk9hMSfbdOgLfuF5f7zXQDqaCvCIVRwcwMkaIsO7Dj4JSU9Ki5AKqPyW6xCoFCWKUrzEcnmtqla0XcN7pTK7VW3hRDnNRZambK_YKAjdLPAE4nR_ZexYttKzOkyyT27irj6cfNB-0__nUO0XpXmxXChpMoob9KJdHd-wQ/w470-h640/IMG_6830.png&quot; width=&quot;470&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;To Molly, they are more than important professionals in her career; they are her international support network extending all the way to Los Angeles, especially by the hand of Jennifer Medrano and Jessica Luteeran, fundamental pillars in her trajectory. &quot;They organize my whole life when it comes to music... they have an incredible record with celebrities in the United States, an admirable career. I feel very calm and confident in that sense because I know they are great professionals in the industry,&quot; she shares with deep gratitude.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Joining this solid partnership is the talent of Roger from Otro Flow Music, whom she defines with admiration as &quot;another icon in the United States regarding personal management,&quot; completing a circle of protection and guidance that allows the artist from Quetzaltenango to walk with a firm step toward conquering new horizons.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Behind the creativity and artistic agreements, consolidating a musical career requires a firm structure that brings order to big ideas. To achieve this, Molly has the strategic backing of her business manager, Carlos Zimmerman, who is responsible for keeping the project on course and disciplined at every step. When the team&#39;s enthusiasm leans toward multiple collaborations, brands, and shows, he is the one who sets the path: &quot;Hold on, first we have to... he is the one who puts us all in order: we are going to respect this, then this, then this, and then this. We do want to make this work the right way,&quot; shares the artist about this key figure who ensures the solidity and professional growth of her project.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Edwin&#39;s visual talent does not go unnoticed and is absolutely necessary since the visual aspect deeply impacts the audience: &quot;We affectionately call him pollito (little chicken), he is our pollito. We never leave poor pollito alone, we are always teasing him, teasing him, teasing him, but he is a great person, wonderful, with an incredible imagination.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;The magic of a musical project doesn&#39;t just happen on stage or inside the recording studio, but also during travels, unexpected events, and the laughs that remain captured forever. To document every moment of this journey, Molly relies on the complicity and talent of Meme, who is in charge of immortalizing every detail behind the spotlight. Whether traveling to new destinations or facing small setbacks along the way, his lens never stops: &quot;When we have to travel to another country, he takes care of documenting absolutely everything that happens... he is always there with his pure paparazzi style. And he is—wow!—impressive at his job,&quot; the artist relates with a smile, highlighting the dedication and commitment of someone who turns every adventure into an unforgettable memory.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;This support network allows her to balance her extensive professional background as a stylist with her newly debuted musical career, proving that passion knows no schedule or exhaustion. &quot;I am very happy, not only to be realizing my dream—that it is happening in such a special, beautiful, and fluid way—but also because life has placed wonderful people around me who make all of this even more special,&quot; she concludes with a smile, ready to keep conquering new horizons from the highlands of Guatemala.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Join us for the next installment of this exciting story that continues to captivate us in incredible ways. The energy, charisma, and events surrounding Molly are worth telling in full detail, and I promise you won&#39;t want to miss it.

Tras dar el primer paso con su debut, Molly Hentze se adentra en una etapa donde la producción discográfica deja de ser un secreto de estudio para convertirse en una maquinaria engranada con precisión. Afortunadamente Molly está muy bien acompañada y cuenta con toda una red de apoyo con personas especializadas en cada aspecto relevante de su faceta artística profesional. Después de todo, en toda gran historia hay excelentes personajes, nos referimos a un gran equipo y grandes elementos que son parte vital del camino de los grandes protagonistas. Y en el caso de Molly, esto no es distinto. Conoceremos más de ellos en un momento.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;height: 0px; max-width: 100%; overflow: hidden; padding-bottom: 56.25%; position: relative; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Con un repertorio que ya suma ocho temas listos y una agenda de lanzamientos programada para los próximos meses, la artista quetzalteca comprende ahora el arduo rigor que hay detrás de la industria. &quot;Yo ahora respeto muchísimo más de los artistas, porque no sabía que detrás del poder lanzar una canción de una forma correcta, con los pasos que debes de hacer, con los permisos que tienes que tener, es un gran trabajo por detrás&quot;, comparte al reflexionar sobre este viaje de aprendizaje donde la improvisación no tiene cabida.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Los frutos de ese esfuerzo están próximos a revelarse con el estreno de su segundo y tercer sencillo, piezas que exploran matices distintos y tiempos pausados. El primero de ellos, una balada suave y profunda, retrata la solemnidad de un compromiso de vida. &quot;Es una canción que para mí habla sobre los sentimientos tan puros, tan hermosos, tan reales que tiene que haber para llegar a poder dar ese paso... cómo es ese amor tan grande, tan poderoso, que tiene que existir para poder llegar y decir sí acepto&quot;, detalla sobre la inspiración detrás de los acordes.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Esta sensibilidad contrasta y a la vez complementa la energía de Falling Into You, su carta de presentación, consolidando una propuesta donde la honestidad lírica es el hilo conductor: &quot;habla sobre lo que para mí es el amor y lo que fue en su momento, con una persona que era mi pareja, eh, lo que yo sentí, verdad, al estar enamorada de él&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Detrás de cada instrumentación se encuentra un proceso de cocreación junto a destacados talentos nacionales e internacionales, como el productor y multiinstrumentista Juanfer Herrera y el baterista venezolano Sammy Suárez, así como Dani Ramírez: &quot;Yo llegué con mis letras con Dani Ramírez. Él me ayudó en cuanto a la composición musical&quot; algo sin dudas relevante para realizar esta gran producción.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;El entusiasmo de su productor y la disponibilidad del mismo hicieron que todo fluyera: &quot;yo llegué con mi maqueta con Juanfer y él me dijo: Perfecto, la canción me encanta, está muy, muy, muy bonita, trabajemos en ella&quot; recuerda con alegría la cantautora quetzalteca.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Así mismo Molly, muy humilde como lo es, reconoce el gran talento de los profesionales que han colaborado con ella en la realización de estas producciones: &quot;Juanfer no solo es artista, es productor, sino que aparte de eso es instrumentista; él grabó el noventa por ciento de los instrumentos de esa canción&quot; y reconoce el talento nato de su productor en este ramo: &quot;Yo siempre le digo a él, que &#39;este es tu género&#39;, el country le queda perfecto&quot;, también reconoce con sencillez lo que ha podido experimentar: &quot;He aprendido muchísimo con él (Juanfer), porque como te digo, a mí me apasionaba la música, escuchar la música, pero detrás de eso hay un universo, verdad?&quot; Y no contiene su entusiasmo al contarlo.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Pero sin una correcta percusión no podría existir un ritmo adecuado, reconoce: &quot;Sammy Suárez, que es un baterista venezolano espectacular, que fue quien grabó la batería de mis tres canciones que van a escuchar ahorita en estos próximos meses&quot;, comenta emocionada.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Esta evolución también ha exigido un compromiso personal con el crecimiento artístico, incorporando clases formales de canto y técnica vocal. &quot;He aprendido muchísimo... a mí me apasionaba la música, escuchar la música, pero detrás de eso hay un universo, ya viéndolo desde el otro lado, no solo de quien escucha la música, sino quien la crea, quien la produce&quot;, expresa sobre su transformación de intérprete empírica a creadora consciente.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Detrás de cada gran artista hay un equipo que sostiene los sueños con experiencia, confianza y entrega absoluta. Sostener este crecimiento requiere de una estructura sólida que va más allá de los estudios de grabación. Para Molly, su equipo de trabajo se ha transformado en una extensión de su propia familia, un grupo multidisciplinario que coordina desde Los Ángeles hasta Quetzaltenango cada detalle de su proyección internacional. &quot;No son mi equipo, son mi familia, porque tenemos que hablar todos los días, tenemos que aguantarnos todos los días... sin ellos yo no podría hacer lo que soy hasta el día de hoy&quot;, afirma con gratitud al mencionar la labor de sus managers Jennifer Medrano, Jessica Luteeran y Roger de Otro Flow Music, así como la guía financiera de su business manager Carlos Zimmerman y el talento visual de Edwin y Meme.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIm66_1ia7cyr51wed-ONklYpr0b9HDg9yT5Ubk0kBgOsimV7jXHSNlCe7XgMsuXnV2ctdb4oWHhcUWwexo6JT3Rnkk3tJS8DBBb6rPE7DWIrwScDlph8COhUDOh2jshr0A-kBgmIluMyvw8MCFwnlTjkUdBPMA3h2WNfjqs_TQdC6JYXSGXCQ1w/s1728/IMG_6830.png&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1728&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1268&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIm66_1ia7cyr51wed-ONklYpr0b9HDg9yT5Ubk0kBgOsimV7jXHSNlCe7XgMsuXnV2ctdb4oWHhcUWwexo6JT3Rnkk3tJS8DBBb6rPE7DWIrwScDlph8COhUDOh2jshr0A-kBgmIluMyvw8MCFwnlTjkUdBPMA3h2WNfjqs_TQdC6JYXSGXCQ1w/w470-h640/IMG_6830.png&quot; width=&quot;470&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Para Molly, ellos son más que profesionales importantes en su carrera, son su red de apoyo internacional que se extiende hasta Los Ángeles, especialmente de la mano de Jennifer Medrano y Jessica Luteeran, pilares fundamentales en su proyección. &quot;Ellas organizan toda mi vida en cuanto a la música... tienen un récord con celebridades en Estados Unidos increíble, una carrera admirable. Estoy muy tranquila y muy confiada en ese sentido porque sé que son grandes profesionales en la industria&quot;, comparte con profunda gratitud.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;A esta sólida mancuerna se suma el talento de Roger, de Otro Flow Music, a quien define con admiración como: &quot;otro icono en Estados Unidos en cuanto a personal management&quot;, completando un círculo de protección y guía que le permite a la artista quetzalteca caminar con paso firme hacia la conquista de nuevos horizontes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Detrás de la creatividad y los acuerdos artísticos, la consolidación de una carrera musical requiere de una estructura firme que ponga orden a las grandes ideas. Para lograrlo, Molly cuenta con el respaldo estratégico de su business manager, Carlos Zimmerman, quien se encarga de mantener el rumbo y la disciplina en cada paso del proyecto. Cuando el entusiasmo del equipo apunta hacia múltiples colaboraciones, marcas y programas, es él quien se encarga de fijar la ruta:&amp;nbsp; &quot;Momento, primero tenemos... él es el que nos pone en orden a todos: vamos a respetar esto, después esto, después esto y después esto. Sí queremos hacer que esto funcione de la forma correcta&quot;, comparte la artista sobre esta pieza clave que asegura la solidez y el crecimiento profesional de su propuesta.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;El talento visual de Edwin no pasa desapercibido y es absolutamente necesario puesto que la parte visual impacta profundamente a la audiencia: &quot;Nosotros de cariño le decimos pollito, es nuestro pollito. Al pobre pollito nunca lo dejamos en paz, todo el tiempo lo estamos molestando, molestando, molestando, pero es una gran persona, maravillosa, con una imaginación increíble&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;La magia de un proyecto musical no solo ocurre sobre el escenario o dentro del estudio de grabación, sino también en las travesías, los imprevistos y las risas que quedan grabadas para siempre. Para documentar cada instante de este viaje, Molly cuenta con la complicidad y el talento de Meme, el encargado de inmortalizar cada detalle detrás de los reflectores. Ya sea recorriendo nuevos destinos o enfrentando pequeños sobresaltos en el camino, su lente nunca se detiene: &quot;Cuando tenemos que viajar a algún país, él se encarga de documentar absolutamente todo lo que sucede... él siempre está con su puro paparazi. Y es, ¡wow!, impresionante en su trabajo&quot;, relata la artista con una sonrisa, destacando la dedicación y el compromiso de quien convierte cada aventura en un recuerdo inolvidable.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Esta red de apoyo permite equilibrar su amplia trayectoria profesional como estilista, con su recién estrenada faceta musical, demostrando que la pasión no entiende de horarios ni de cansancio. &quot;Estoy muy feliz, no solo con estar realizando mi sueño, que se esté dando de una forma tan especial, tan bonita, tan fluida, sino que la vida me ha puesto personas maravillosas a mi alrededor, que hacen que todo esto sea aún más especial&quot;, concluye con una sonrisa, lista para seguir conquistando nuevos horizontes desde las tierras altas de Guatemala.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Acompáñenos a la siguiente entrega de esta apasionante historia que nos sigue cautivando de formas increíbles, la energía, carisma y eventos que rodean a Molly es digna de contar con todo lujo de detalle y te prometo, no te la querrás perder.

In the fields of Quetzaltenango, among apple trees and farmland, a musical concept has begun to take shape that defies the region&#39;s traditional molds. Molly Hentze, a Quetzaltecan artist with German-Guatemalan roots, is bravely blazing a trail in the industry as one of the first women in the country to fully commit to country music in English, proving that local talent knows no borders when interpreted from the soul.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;height: 0px; max-width: 100%; overflow: hidden; padding-bottom: 56.25%; position: relative; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Molly&#39;s story is not about seeking improvised spotlights, but rather a calling that quietly developed over decades. After spending twenty-five years professionally dedicated to hair and makeup styling, this artist realized that the deepest dreams simply require the right moment to bloom. “I believe everything in life has its time, and when you pursue it at the moment it&#39;s meant to be, all the doors open for you,” she reflects on this turning point in her career. Far from forcing a path fraught with obstacles, her musical journey began to flow when she rediscovered an old personal checklist where her top priority was clear: write a song, record it, and capture it in a video.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZoDAY3lmr7ixPI4IkJYTF2J67gjuuS91IWqLqT9B3LrEnoEc0agIwcJCODd0rUMrTZA7ODSuwzyBKpyn4XlqcLpUbzcliPdhCc2HJiQHgbOreA-6j5LvtxZwsI0c0PQGtGDgfGpTHBuM1NmwKlzfHHFQwjvalLh64Min4nRCnRk1gDYBujGIilQ/s1728/IMG_6867.png&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1728&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1283&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZoDAY3lmr7ixPI4IkJYTF2J67gjuuS91IWqLqT9B3LrEnoEc0agIwcJCODd0rUMrTZA7ODSuwzyBKpyn4XlqcLpUbzcliPdhCc2HJiQHgbOreA-6j5LvtxZwsI0c0PQGtGDgfGpTHBuM1NmwKlzfHHFQwjvalLh64Min4nRCnRk1gDYBujGIilQ/w476-h640/IMG_6867.png&quot; width=&quot;476&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;That initial spark led her to collaborate with national producer Juanfer Herrera, giving life to a project that evolved organically into a professional artistic reality. “I never thought that song would bring me to where I am right now. I made it with so much passion, so much love, and so much dedication,” she shares about a process that even surprised her closest circles, who until then had only heard her at gatherings and friend karaoke nights. Her demand for excellence has remained intact since the first chord, ensuring that her work would have received the same level of commitment even if it had never left the privacy of her studio.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;The roots of this particular genre in her voice stem directly from her childhood, bridging the rural landscapes of Quetzaltenango with the warmth of American musical tradition. “For me, country music is a genre that takes me back to my childhood, making me remember the most beautiful moments I experienced alongside one of the most special people to ever touch my life: my grandfather,” she recalls when reflecting on afternoons in the wheat fields and apple orchards with him. That connection to the land and everyday experiences defines her songwriting, inspired by the purity of telling honest stories. “I speak a lot through music. People who know me know that I&#39;m always dedicating songs to my siblings, my mom, or my friends—I&#39;m always communicating through music,” she adds about her way of connecting with the world.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC88cSG7YIAzYf1lKNqzodAdc3IE97I7zydVLLjipg18sCeNXhmQDK9bTboSEd0mSUUdsn-hnD_QoOSkVUs0wcfpDOFkoGJMAesz7CGoO-N8aVrC-OQKFvck9f_eXAk01XLXlGz7qEQeWcoswPIlgP7U1ckbpF66Ojprlr4zfMyyCNP3UiS7DTLA/s1466/IMG_6847.png&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1436&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1466&quot; height=&quot;626&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC88cSG7YIAzYf1lKNqzodAdc3IE97I7zydVLLjipg18sCeNXhmQDK9bTboSEd0mSUUdsn-hnD_QoOSkVUs0wcfpDOFkoGJMAesz7CGoO-N8aVrC-OQKFvck9f_eXAk01XLXlGz7qEQeWcoswPIlgP7U1ckbpF66Ojprlr4zfMyyCNP3UiS7DTLA/w640-h626/IMG_6847.png&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;For Molly, music possesses a timeless quality capable of transcending generations, evoking deep feelings just like the great legends of classic rock and pop. “Music inspires me, which is what music truly achieves—it transports us to many places, many feelings, many emotions, and that&#39;s what I want to accomplish with my music,” she states with conviction. Even if the creative process involves grueling hours and late nights working on songwriting and instrumental arrangements, her enthusiasm remains intact. “I can&#39;t complain about absolutely anything to this day. Even though there are sleepless nights during production and all that... it&#39;s so beautiful that I can tell you I wouldn&#39;t change a single thing about what I&#39;ve experienced up to today,” she concludes regarding this phase, which she describes as a magical, once-in-a-lifetime dream.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigB2WCi-qu1B2-trkyRZXKcnM41xUsK3MHKs7RKTGi9K0MIsGT44BRQhxqn8X_PCd4vCV9BWx5XPA5zOXy7X9PlCwdlFaXqAHklkvrk9BKRR5LC7Lm2R4Fl_LuPzWQZN_hdIs9YvMknndrBg1ZFVP-7LaVknUiM1gmTIbdWMA8U8DqJ5GXrLM6nA/s1851/IMG_6876.png&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1728&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1851&quot; height=&quot;598&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigB2WCi-qu1B2-trkyRZXKcnM41xUsK3MHKs7RKTGi9K0MIsGT44BRQhxqn8X_PCd4vCV9BWx5XPA5zOXy7X9PlCwdlFaXqAHklkvrk9BKRR5LC7Lm2R4Fl_LuPzWQZN_hdIs9YvMknndrBg1ZFVP-7LaVknUiM1gmTIbdWMA8U8DqJ5GXrLM6nA/w640-h598/IMG_6876.png&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;This first installment marks just the beginning of the artistic journey of a Quetzaltecan voice that promises to conquer new horizons, reminding us that the best melodies are those born unhurriedly and with heart in hand.

En los campos de Quetzaltenango, entre manzanas y tierras de cultivo, ha comenzado a gestarse una propuesta musical que desafía los moldes tradicionales de la región. Molly Hentze, una artista quetzalteca de raíces germano-chapinas, se abre paso con valentía en la industria como una de las primeras mujeres en el país en apostar de lleno por la música country en inglés, demostrando que el talento local no conoce fronteras cuando se interpreta con el alma.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;height: 0px; max-width: 100%; overflow: hidden; padding-bottom: 56.25%; position: relative; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;La historia de Molly no se trata de buscar reflectores improvisados, sino de una vocación que se gestó en silencio durante décadas. Tras haberse dedicado profesionalmente al estilismo y al maquillaje durante veinticinco años, esta artista comprendió que los sueños más profundos solo exigen el momento adecuado para florecer. “Pienso que todo en la vida tiene su momento, y cuando tú lo desarrollas en el momento que tiene que ser, todas las puertas se te abren”, reflexiona sobre este giro en su trayectoria. Lejos de forzar un camino lleno de tropiezos, su incursión musical comenzó a fluir cuando redescubrió una antigua lista personal donde su máxima prioridad era clara: escribir una canción, grabarla y plasmarla en un video.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRhmmPWJKZji3svwkRu5xBodJvHMpDVqge4GkbYvODPfhbYcuc39v9SnWNx1ZYizvFZBvwkbwdTJQYqA8ak4EOHLlY5NiEETq5ztH253XrKW0VdDbcgk7yrull9NgunZ9RsvoGacx4HrPjrjeNqtWOmJ-HTPb2KCRbiVFQnwAD4Ti6R1QvCXEvAA/s1728/IMG_6867.png&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1728&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1283&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRhmmPWJKZji3svwkRu5xBodJvHMpDVqge4GkbYvODPfhbYcuc39v9SnWNx1ZYizvFZBvwkbwdTJQYqA8ak4EOHLlY5NiEETq5ztH253XrKW0VdDbcgk7yrull9NgunZ9RsvoGacx4HrPjrjeNqtWOmJ-HTPb2KCRbiVFQnwAD4Ti6R1QvCXEvAA/w476-h640/IMG_6867.png&quot; width=&quot;476&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Ese impulso inicial la llevó a colaborar con el productor nacional Juanfer Herrera, dando vida a un proyecto que evolucionó de manera orgánica hasta convertirse en una realidad artística profesional. “Jamás pensé que esa canción me iba a llevar a donde estoy ahorita. La hice con mucha pasión, con mucho amor, con mucha dedicación”, comparte sobre el proceso que sorprendió incluso a sus círculos más cercanos, quienes hasta entonces solo la habían escuchado en reuniones y karaokes entre amigos. Su exigencia por la excelencia se mantiene intacta desde el primer acorde, asegurando que su obra habría recibido el mismo nivel de entrega aunque jamás hubiera salido de la intimidad de su estudio.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Las raíces de este género tan particular en su voz provienen directamente de su infancia, conectando los paisajes rurales de Quetzaltenango con la calidez de la tradición musical estadounidense. “Para mí la música country es un género que me regresa a mi niñez, y que me hace recordar los momentos más hermosos que yo viví, junto a una de las personas más especiales que han tocado mi vida, que fue mi abuelito”, relata al recordar las tardes en los trigales y manzanares junto a su abuelo. Esa conexión con la tierra y las vivencias cotidianas define su forma de componer, inspirada en la pureza de contar historias sinceras. “Yo hablo mucho a través de la música. Las personas que me conocen saben que yo soy de dedicar canciones todo el tiempo, ya sea a mis hermanos, a mi mamá, a mis amigos, siempre soy de comunicarme a través de la música”, añade sobre su manera de conectar con el mundo.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFlWCbqaRqnZ1e21uX84KEoPaEgmKxiVsfihAu2nO5TCDcfv27CUo_MDQO02hdUxN_Th1us6PtAFjbKfzy-Ogld-wdmUIzsAHobVq2DOR633dQZ9P8unUhF5klMKviWa2bqJtwpyFe52ryW2FcxmwPjIEYvn9O9sHITUVGNm6doD7_gwogMw6qXQ/s1466/IMG_6847.png&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1436&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1466&quot; height=&quot;626&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFlWCbqaRqnZ1e21uX84KEoPaEgmKxiVsfihAu2nO5TCDcfv27CUo_MDQO02hdUxN_Th1us6PtAFjbKfzy-Ogld-wdmUIzsAHobVq2DOR633dQZ9P8unUhF5klMKviWa2bqJtwpyFe52ryW2FcxmwPjIEYvn9O9sHITUVGNm6doD7_gwogMw6qXQ/w640-h626/IMG_6847.png&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Para Molly, la música posee una cualidad atemporal capaz de traspasar generaciones, evocando sentimientos profundos tal como ocurre con las grandes leyendas del rock y el pop clásico. “La música a mí me inspira, que es lo que realmente logra la música, nos transporta a muchos lugares, a muchos sentimientos, a muchas emociones y pues eso es lo que yo quiero lograr con mi música”, afirma con convicción. Aunque el proceso de creación implique jornadas extenuantes y madrugadas de trabajo en la composición y los arreglos instrumentales, el entusiasmo sigue intacto. “No puedo quejarme hasta el día de hoy de absolutamente nada, aunque durante la producción y todo eso, hay desvelos... es tan hermoso, que yo sí te puedo decir que no cambiaría absolutamente nada de lo que viví hasta el día de hoy”, concluye sobre esta etapa que describe como un sueño mágico e irrepetible.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgfvC0V5zHRK5wJONZihZPUlcw7-JoBQYuSazw8JcVzcWv9Fih4OFqaowEYVY3hL4VRrwSoLYBR0Vt5NKZ1Vmu-63DKMOkXnsmCcMu4_HPf8k6IIUJ1piVgFXvlpEHpKwcZ2y-A3GLzlAMjs12GsiT6doIswq45mox9kEsPZ_UT2RzyeYWfX4Fqg/s1851/IMG_6876.png&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1728&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1851&quot; height=&quot;598&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgfvC0V5zHRK5wJONZihZPUlcw7-JoBQYuSazw8JcVzcWv9Fih4OFqaowEYVY3hL4VRrwSoLYBR0Vt5NKZ1Vmu-63DKMOkXnsmCcMu4_HPf8k6IIUJ1piVgFXvlpEHpKwcZ2y-A3GLzlAMjs12GsiT6doIswq45mox9kEsPZ_UT2RzyeYWfX4Fqg/w640-h598/IMG_6876.png&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Esta primera entrega marca apenas el inicio del recorrido artístico de una voz quetzalteca que promete conquistar nuevos horizontes, recordándonos que las mejores melodías son aquellas que nacen sin prisas y con el corazón en la mano.

As part of the support initiatives for children in the country, the Ayúdame a Vivir Foundation (AYUVI) officially inaugurated the new AYUVI Occidente Shelter. This space has been designed and conditioned to provide temporary, dignified, and completely safe accommodation for both children and adolescents facing cancer, including their respective companions, with the firm purpose of reinforcing the comprehensive care provided at the AYUVI Occidente Clinic.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZvSW_uOc9m8x2Eii9o5wjjJrgn7wCAIJ_uMdqQt-LXv1m5UymDp6h6sC2KkQedeqpH7aJGINJ7Hx4Dp8qVgc1JOvL1en-ZRdeDjo0j9Y98Yr7xelgnt-rPPVrMXUc-GnQT8bmSue0f2WEWEwL6KbaubsdcgrptzLTMdmfsUtEJTU6f6DStdgkqA/s2560/1000420343.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1708&quot; data-original-width=&quot;2560&quot; height=&quot;428&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZvSW_uOc9m8x2Eii9o5wjjJrgn7wCAIJ_uMdqQt-LXv1m5UymDp6h6sC2KkQedeqpH7aJGINJ7Hx4Dp8qVgc1JOvL1en-ZRdeDjo0j9Y98Yr7xelgnt-rPPVrMXUc-GnQT8bmSue0f2WEWEwL6KbaubsdcgrptzLTMdmfsUtEJTU6f6DStdgkqA/w640-h428/1000420343.jpg&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;The opening of this shelter constitutes a highly significant step for families residing in the western region of the nation. It is worth noting that approximately 38% of the patients treated by the National Pediatric Oncology Unit (UNOP) come from this region, who usually must make journeys of several hours to undergo their therapies, enduring not only the complex fight against the disease but also the heavy economic, physical, and emotional impacts derived from continuous travel.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;With a solid infrastructure spanning 250 square meters, the new facility features seven bedrooms, a living room, a dining room, a kitchen, a laundry room, a storage room, as well as green areas and outdoor spaces. These facilities will make it possible to host nearly 45 patients along with their companions on a rotating basis each month, providing them with free access to essential services that reduce travel times and significantly increase their well-being.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;During the inaugural ceremony, Luisa Ávila de Castillo, who serves as the Executive Director of the AYUVI Foundation, emphasized the profound value that this project holds for the institution and for the families dealing with pediatric cancer. In her statements, she pointed out that the center was designed with families in mind to alleviate the burdens caused by long distances, transmitting a message of solidarity and reaffirming the institutional commitment to offering a refuge endowed with tranquility, dignity, and hope.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghBQdP6AUPiQNsPxaDsume293kOc6EPC3fMp6H1J80882Flq9dRuIcHCD64yEiiiKNE1s3H6wSF0G5loTrzWzNVKQ4hMPGnNRVRi4NJQwvw3gxBpNUzZInSEAub_DN1g9MAHu88iw5IOH-v03-pahLrPpb_9EzxXrAsEQkVUUg5MKUgkU9_Sd1lQ/s2560/1000420342.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1708&quot; data-original-width=&quot;2560&quot; height=&quot;428&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghBQdP6AUPiQNsPxaDsume293kOc6EPC3fMp6H1J80882Flq9dRuIcHCD64yEiiiKNE1s3H6wSF0G5loTrzWzNVKQ4hMPGnNRVRi4NJQwvw3gxBpNUzZInSEAub_DN1g9MAHu88iw5IOH-v03-pahLrPpb_9EzxXrAsEQkVUUg5MKUgkU9_Sd1lQ/w640-h428/1000420342.jpg&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Likewise, the inaugural event featured speeches by representatives of the UNOP, who explained the positive impact that this work will have on the continuity of treatments and the overall well-being of the minors. Similarly, deeply emotional moments were experienced with the testimony of a mother of a UNOP patient, who recounted the daily difficulties experienced when commuting from their communities of origin to seek specialized medical assistance.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;The event also served as a space to publicly recognize the work and support of benefactor partners—among which are Pollo Campero, Pepsi, and Banco G&amp;amp;T Continental—in addition to various donors whose contributions made the construction of this shelter viable, demonstrating the positive impact of joining forces. The construction of these facilities required an approximate investment of 3 million quetzales. The activities concluded through the traditional ribbon-cutting and a guided tour of the areas designed to guarantee the comfort and shelter of the users.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdM5M1F0tkhqpnzOG-dLIsHMk2U-6ETR3gghQ7OVKG7pLwKInWLH4m-upI4dsSVkr17MGYTLsYcz9ic8a77JqwlBJeFxI9BS8IBoKieUdvYwQpBvarQAAdkjm0zD5IkoS2Q1O8yicsm0SrrGq4-MO5Yd09gPzgESCdLQVlZ_h8ekAv-Js6gayPRw/s2560/1000420334.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1708&quot; data-original-width=&quot;2560&quot; height=&quot;428&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdM5M1F0tkhqpnzOG-dLIsHMk2U-6ETR3gghQ7OVKG7pLwKInWLH4m-upI4dsSVkr17MGYTLsYcz9ic8a77JqwlBJeFxI9BS8IBoKieUdvYwQpBvarQAAdkjm0zD5IkoS2Q1O8yicsm0SrrGq4-MO5Yd09gPzgESCdLQVlZ_h8ekAv-Js6gayPRw/w640-h428/1000420334.jpg&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Currently, the AYUVI Occidente Clinic treats an average of 20 patients per day.

Este espacio ha sido ideado y acondicionado para proporcionar un alojamiento de carácter temporal, digno y completamente seguro tanto a niños como a adolescentes que enfrentan el cáncer, incluyendo a su respectivo acompañante, con el firme propósito de reforzar la atención integral que se les imparte en la Clínica AYUVI Occidente.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXoZH4wWSQeM8iT5l6nwc_6VAPJq92pHRxAhtPpSqZjhlCN_npykzrTz3Bo8iPUer_bjr5gPTcNdFPU8rlsknTt3OVaR6IDg0GsWIMlBXKe1mgNd1ln-N0HZAUNPn8nffdKTEAYcWLDNTAIfgGFZqOdEgTVLAcMCX1Jk47eXWIQfvO4Z18a7srCw/s2560/1000420343.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1708&quot; data-original-width=&quot;2560&quot; height=&quot;428&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXoZH4wWSQeM8iT5l6nwc_6VAPJq92pHRxAhtPpSqZjhlCN_npykzrTz3Bo8iPUer_bjr5gPTcNdFPU8rlsknTt3OVaR6IDg0GsWIMlBXKe1mgNd1ln-N0HZAUNPn8nffdKTEAYcWLDNTAIfgGFZqOdEgTVLAcMCX1Jk47eXWIQfvO4Z18a7srCw/w640-h428/1000420343.jpg&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;La habilitación de este albergue constituye un paso de gran trascendencia para las familias residentes en el occidente de la nación. Cabe destacar que de esta región proviene aproximadamente el 38% de los pacientes que atiende la Unidad Nacional de Oncología Pediátrica (UNOP), los cuales habitualmente deben realizar travesías de varias horas para poder someterse a sus terapias, sobrellevando no solo la compleja lucha contra la enfermedad, sino también los fuertes impactos económicos, físicos y emocionales derivados de los traslados continuos.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Con una sólida infraestructura que abarca 250 metros cuadrados, el nuevo recinto cuenta con siete habitaciones, una sala, comedor, cocina, lavandería, bodega, así como áreas verdes y espacios al aire libre. Estas instalaciones permitirán acoger de manera rotativa a cerca de 45 pacientes junto a sus acompañantes cada mes, brindándoles un acceso sin costo a servicios esenciales que reducen los tiempos de viaje y elevan de forma notable su bienestar.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Durante el desarrollo de la ceremonia inaugural, Luisa Ávila de Castillo, quien ejerce como Directora Ejecutiva de Fundación AYUVI, enfatizó el profundo valor que este proyecto reviste para la institución y para los núcleos familiares que lidian con el cáncer pediátrico. En sus declaraciones, señaló que el centro se ideó pensando en las familias para aliviar las cargas que suponen las largas distancias, transmitiendo un mensaje de solidaridad y reafirmando el compromiso institucional de ofrecer un refugio dotado de tranquilidad, dignidad y esperanza.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieH2JiBJ0RRKsidHq1aJov7x_fsNVKMDnOWHHYGQy3O05gw_4MnGzj3Zs8Q8bWHXObZtGKfd6XQbTaf20aKf7Ju9fENVbQxLPKrManqLCO9irSMz23UMkk__kCpUrFCqy2tY-6CRNUajS3Je89db9j8w89c6tyNV9wdIAao2_SsdsZ4BtadrFx5g/s2560/1000420342.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1708&quot; data-original-width=&quot;2560&quot; height=&quot;428&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieH2JiBJ0RRKsidHq1aJov7x_fsNVKMDnOWHHYGQy3O05gw_4MnGzj3Zs8Q8bWHXObZtGKfd6XQbTaf20aKf7Ju9fENVbQxLPKrManqLCO9irSMz23UMkk__kCpUrFCqy2tY-6CRNUajS3Je89db9j8w89c6tyNV9wdIAao2_SsdsZ4BtadrFx5g/w640-h428/1000420342.jpg&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Asimismo, el acto inaugural contó con la intervención de representantes de la UNOP, quienes expusieron el impacto positivo que esta obra tendrá sobre la continuidad de los tratamientos y el bienestar global de los menores. De igual manera, se vivieron momentos de gran emotividad con el testimonio de una madre de familia de un paciente de la UNOP, quien relató las dificultades cotidianas que se experimentan al desplazarse desde sus comunidades de origen para buscar asistencia médica especializada.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;El evento sirvió también como un espacio para reconocer públicamente la labor y el respaldo de los socios benefactores —entre los que figuran Pollo Campero, Pepsi y Banco G&amp;amp;T Continental— además de diversos donantes cuya aportación hizo viable la edificación de este albergue, demostrando el impacto positivo de la unión de esfuerzos. La construcción de estas instalaciones requirió de una inversión aproximada de 3 millones de quetzales. Las actividades concluyeron mediante el tradicional corte de listón y un recorrido guiado por las áreas diseñadas para garantizar la comodidad y el resguardo de los usuarios.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOj4rK1UQNbSL6SY5SYLbVUnsFlixGAspIOXXY8UjHkdUugIc2c4F4oT4bshW7kSZrGs1HwT8v4hPc2iucZkzMl4V1tfz3NiAysujGW12NLqQuCmGnvDVtqCIZQ91uLg9UTNs6z6iB0LniF_KizlOmheQoD12-12pxE3OisrcokZoF-oJ35WRQXg/s2560/1000420334.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1708&quot; data-original-width=&quot;2560&quot; height=&quot;428&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOj4rK1UQNbSL6SY5SYLbVUnsFlixGAspIOXXY8UjHkdUugIc2c4F4oT4bshW7kSZrGs1HwT8v4hPc2iucZkzMl4V1tfz3NiAysujGW12NLqQuCmGnvDVtqCIZQ91uLg9UTNs6z6iB0LniF_KizlOmheQoD12-12pxE3OisrcokZoF-oJ35WRQXg/w640-h428/1000420334.jpg&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Actualmente, la Clínica AYUVI Occidente atiende un promedio de 20 pacientes al día.
