Beatriz Gonzalez, the talented artist from the Rio Grande Valley, has just released her latest single and music video, “Quédate.” In an exclusive interview with Tejano Nation Radio host Romeo, Beatriz shared the inspiration and creative process behind this deeply personal song.
“Quédate is a song that I wrote, and it’s a norteño song, you know? Norteño-Tejano style, going back to some of my roots,” Beatriz explained. “Normally, mariachi is where my heart is, but I love listening to everything. My first CD, ‘Aunque Sea Así,’ had that kind of sound and style, and this song is about going back to that. I’m excited about this release written by me, and it’s with all my heart.”
Beatriz opened up about the writing process, revealing that the song emerged from a difficult period in her life. “I had gotten out of a relationship with the father of my child, and it didn’t work out. I’m happy now, in a better place mentally and emotionally. The song is about keeping all the negative, the bad, the pain, and moving forward. I went to my studio and finished it in one sitting.”
The music video for “Quédate” was filmed in the picturesque Rio Grande Valley. “It’s by a lake, it’s so pretty there. It was very hot, but it was a great process,” Beatriz said. She collaborated with Gino Tarantino and featured friends and fellow musicians, including Salomon Ramos, JJ on drums, Elena, and Perla. “It came out great, I absolutely liked it. It was hot, but it was fun.”

Beatriz, who recently released an EP titled “Mis Favoritos (Corridos),” also shared her future plans. “I’m still working on Mariachi music, and I have a Corridos EP that came out before this single. I’m also working on more songs in the style of ‘Quédate,’ and I’m excited about that because those are also songs that I wrote.”
