A chance encounter at a local restaurant led to a new musical discovery for Crystal
The Playa Times: Where are you originally from and how did you find yourself in Playa del Carmen? How long have you been here?
Alfredo: I am from Guadalajara in Jalisco. My son and his family decided to move to Playa del Carmen, and he asked us if we would like to move down here too. We did, and we’ve been here since November 2015.
