Still in his mid-twenties and mending a broken heart, Mateo wrote a heartbreak album and concert featuring flamenco guitar, the orchestra, and a few sopranos. After thinking it was a misfire/selfish endeavor, Mateo was completely surprised at the outpouring of support and love for the album and show as it showcased exactly what everyone goes through in life. This was Mateo’s first knowledge into shaping the themes of all of his concerts to be around his own vulnersabilities and human experiences and then let them translate to the audience however they may be received.
