The City Of Angels Through Edda’s Lens
On June 4, Narcos: Mexico and video-game star Alejandro Edda treated fans to a breathtaking view of Los Angeles at twilight. In his latest Instagram post, @alejo_edda shared a wide-angle shot of the city’s skyline bathed in dusky purples and amber lights. The actor captioned it “•The City of Angels•” and borrowed Frank Lloyd Wright’s famous line: “Tip the world over on its side and everything loose will land in Los Angeles.” His hashtags—#amarteceres, #proudangeleno and #vivalosangeles—underscore how deeply he identifies with his adopted hometown.
A Proud Angeleno: Edda’s La Journey
Born in Mexico City in 1984, Alejandro Edda moved to the United States as a teenager and eventually settled in Los Angeles, pursuing training at local acting studios. After early roles in short films and guest appearances on TV, he broke out in Netflix’s Narcos: Mexico (2018), portraying General Bernardo Soto. Since then, he’s built a reputation for bringing nuanced depth to complex figures. Fans also recognize his voice-work as Nerón Chávez in Horizon Forbidden West (2022) and his recent turn in HBO’s The Last of Us premiere, celebrating its cast and crew on social media.
Edda’s Instagram feed often doubles as a visual diary of his life in L.A.—from patio coffee runs to late-night shoots at historic studios. But his June 4 sunset snap stands out for its poetic reflection on the city’s eclectic spirit.
Honoring La’s Heritage: Rodeo #10 Tribute
The skyline post isn’t Edda’s only salute to local culture. Earlier this year, he highlighted Los Angeles’ rich Western roots in a post about Rodeo #10. In that February entry (@alejo_edda), he wrote:
“Before the cowboy, there was the vaquero. Before the arena, there was the land. At Rodeo #10, the soul of the West returned through braided reins, spinning ropes, embroidered skirts, and three generations riding with pride. Sin tradición, no hay futuro.”
Edda’s use of “Sin tradición, no hay futuro” (“Without tradition, there is no future”) nods to the vital role Latino charros and Escaramuza teams play in keeping regional customs alive. By weaving that tribute into his feed, he bridges modern L.A. life with the city’s longstanding equestrian legacy.
From Screen To Sunset: Edda’s Creative Canvas
With a career spanning crime dramas, video games, and prestige television, Alejandro Edda has become one of L.A.’s most versatile artists. His posts spotlight everything from political quotes and social justice to moments of quiet reflection. Yet it’s the simple beauty of a sunset-tinted skyline that resonated most recently, reminding followers why so many dream of the “City of Angels.”
His ability to move seamlessly between high-intensity roles (a cartel general in Narcos: Mexico) and contemplative snapshots underscores an ethos he’s shared before: “We can all get more together than we can apart,” quoting Martin Luther King Jr. on another occasion. But on June 4, it was Frank Lloyd Wright’s words that captured an idea central to Edda’s outlook: that Los Angeles exists as a magnet for creative, curious minds.
Stepping back, Edda’s Instagram gallery reads like a love letter to L.A.: its art-deco theaters and cultural festivals, its sprawling freeways and hidden canyon trails. For a self-described “proud Angeleno,” no other place offers the same freedom to experiment, to reinvent, and to find home in diversity.
Whether he’s portraying historical figures on screen or framing an iconic cityscape off camera, Alejandro Edda continues to showcase the multifaceted soul of Los Angeles—one sunset at a time.
