Mariana Alejandra Yegros, better known by her stage name La Yegros, is an Argentinian singer-songwriter.
Mariana Yegros was born in Morón, Buenos Aires Province. Daughter of Aníbal Yegros and Pily Jara, she discovered her passion in music while being very young. Her parents are originally from Misiones Province. [1]
Her influences come from her family origins. Her father listened to chamamé, which is traditional folk music from the north of Argentina, and her mother listened to cumbia. Later in life she explored music from India and Africa which inspired her to mix music styles. [2]
After finishing high school, she joined the Conservatory of Music of Morón in Buenos Aires to study opera singing. [2]
A few years after joining her studies, she joined an alternative group called De La Guarda. There were two music directors, one of whom was King Coya (Argentinean electro-cumbia producer). That opened the way for her to start performing in public, to sing in front of thousands of people. [3]
Her debut album Viene de Mi was released on 17 June 2013 on ZZK/Waxploitation Records. Gustavo Santaolalla, Gaby Kerpel, Gato Muñoz and Miss Bolivia are collaborators of this album. It mixes electronic music with traditional Latin American rhythms like cumbia, chamamé, carnavalito and milonga.
Singles of this album are "Viene de mí" and "Trocitos de madera".
Media platform Sounds and Colors named it "one of the best albums of 2013". [4]
Her song "El Bendito" was featured in the football video game 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil .
In 2015 she released Magnetismo, through Soundway Records. The album is a mix of influences: to chamamé melodies to cumbia and EDM. In addition, explorations into North and West African folk music – from Rai to Malian blues – hip-hop, rock, tropical pop, reggae, and dancehall are woven in. [5] The record has many collaborations, including Gustavo Santaolalla, Gaby Kerpel, Javier Casalla, Puerto Candelaria and Sabina Sciubba. [6]
“Chicha Roja" is the official single of this record, which has over 6 million views on YouTube. [7]
