Enlazando Mundos, Pipe Llorens Delhotel Records, Mexico Rating: 75 By Carlos Reyes Early this year, Pipe Llorens unveiled the trailer to his forthcoming documentary Indies , a cinematic travelogue to his persona and an assessment of what it means to be an Indie artist (by Mexican standards).

Along with incredible art, this also includes a story, a poem, and five interviews [...]
