Héctor Herrera: The Warm-Up

“My music definitely plays a huge role in getting me ready before a match,” Héctor Herrera tells Apple Music. The Houston Dynamo midfield maestro—captain for his club, and former caption of the Mexican National Team—finds his inspiration in reggaetón and bélicas music. His exclusive playlist spans both genres and includes his favourite song: El negro tecla, DJ Tao, and Pablo Lescano’s remix of “Ahí Ahí” featuring L-Gante and La T y la M. “I believe it’s important to leave the dressing room motivated and calm,” he says, “and music does a great job of doing that.”
