Nuevo is a 2002 album by the Kronos Quartet comprised entirely of music of Mexican origin. It was inspired by a number of visits made to Mexico by the quartet's violinist and founder, David Harrington, from 1995. A number of guest musicians feature, including , a one-armed street performer who makes music by blowing on the side of an ivy leaf, whom Harrington met in Mexico City. Harrington later found a CD, Sinfonia Urbana, which included a recording of Garcia, made on a sidewalk, performing the traditional song "Perfidia". Kronos purchased the rights to reuse it from the Mexican record company, and overdubbed strings. In late 2002, it emerged that Garcia had not received his share of the payment made to the record company for the right to use the recording, and the quartet arranged a collection in his benefit. Garcia did not hear the finished recording until December 2002. The album was produced by Gustavo Santaolalla, David Harrington, and Judith Sherman, and co-produced by . It was released on CD by Elektra Records. The quartet performed the album live during 2002.
