International artist Mari Nobre is releasing her album “La Madrina,” a collection of original songs and covers of songs in the style of banda and mariachi. The album is the culmination of a four-year tour with her band Joyas Prestadas, the tribute to Jenni Rivera, during which she created a relationship of mutual love with Mexican-American audiences. 

With her band Joyas Prestadas Mari gave concerts to more than 10,000 people and sold out casinos and venues, and was interviewed many times by U.S. National Television (ABC) regarding programs celebrating the legacy of Jenni Rivera and Latin heritage. 

However she also realized that Jenni Rivera’s fans were eager to hear new feminist songs that could continue that legacy and that’s when she began her project produced by Jenny’s former producer, Pedro Íñiguez, and including many songs by Bruno Danzza, a famous composer associated with Jenni’s success. 

As a survivor of domestic violence, a single mother, and an immigrant, the connection to the songs on the album, as well as Jenni Rivera’s fans, is genuine and deep. This album and each performance are a mission of Mari to empower and inspire women. 

Through these songs, she is able to process her personal trauma and establish an emotional relationship with her audience. The title of “La Madrina” comes from the nickname given to her by her audience. A godmother is usually someone who is not related by blood to her godchildren, but loves and cares for them. In the same way that Mari, as an artist who was not born in Mexico, loves and represents Mexican music to an international audience. 

The song “Brincos Dieras” is the first single from the album “La Madrina” and went viral on Youtube only a few days after its release!”
