    "comment": "“circuito exterior mexiquense” is brief (about 2 minutes) and intentionally understated in its presentation—Bandcamp describes it simply as “una chula canción,” and that minimalism leaves room for the track to speak through feel rather than explanation. The title references infrastructure and geography, which can immediately suggest motion, edges, and the emotional texture of commuting: loops, exits, and the strange mix of boredom and alertness that comes with being in transit. In that sense, the song’s most compelling feature is its implied narrative. Even without overloading the arrangement, it can still communicate an inner state: a fragment of memory attached to a route, a place-name that carries personal meaning, or the way a city’s perimeter can feel like both boundary and escape. The short runtime helps it land like a snapshot—one strong mood, one sharp color, then gone. That can be a strength for listeners who like music that feels diaristic: not everything needs a dramatic arc to feel complete. If you are building a playlist with rapid emotional cuts—songs that function like scenes—this track fits that role well.\u2028\n\nListen: https://cacomixtle.bandcamp.com/track/circuito-exterior-mexiquense",
