María Rodríguez, also known as La Mala, La Mala María, or Mala Rodríguez, is a Spanish hip hop singer. She was born in Jerez de la Frontera,(Cádiz), 13 February 1979. She moved to Seville when she was 4 and to Madrid when she was 19.
Her hip-hop songs are greatly influenced by flamenco music. Some of her lyrics talk about feminism and the problems of the outcasts of society, but in general they are rather abstract.
She became well known in the Spanish hip-hop scene around 1998/1999 when she collaborated with other Sevilla groups like SFDK. However her style was a lot more rough and hardcore. Later on she crossed-over to the mainstream audience with her solo albums but she left behind most of the edge she had in her beginnings and her sound became more laid-back.
She admitted to having been a heroin junkie in her youth but claims that since then she cleaned up. She used to date rapper/producer Supernafamacho, from the group CPV (the founding fathers of Spanish rap). Later on she got involved with a Cuban MC, from the group Explosión Suprema who's now the father of her first baby.
Her music has been featured of the soundtracks of the Spanish films, Lucía y el Sexo (Sex and Lucía), Yo Puta (her songs were used on the movie's television adverts and trailers), the Mexican film, Y tu Mamá También, and the French film, L'Auberge espagnole.
She was also featured on the soundtrack for the EA Sports FIFA 2005 and Scarface: The World is Yours video games.
Most recently, her single "Por la noche" was featured in the Spanish film, "Yo Soy la Juani" (2007). She has also recorded "Mala Suerta con el 13" ("Mala, Loose with -Residente, from Calle- 13) with the Puerto Rican rap duo Calle 13.

Mala Rodríguez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yo no valgo una cervecita pela
Dame ese minuto y tambalea
La niña quiere fiesta, alguien torea
Búscala en el aire, en ese que marea
Sécale los labios, y ese, ese se caldea
No valgo moneda, valgo justo, tantea
Mil duros porque me creas que yo me arrimo
Por el lomo se pelea, y tú jadea, jalea, jadea, como lo menea
Por el lomo se pelea, jadea, jalea, jadea
Lo que a mí me va mucho es la marcha tropical
Y candelita en descampao, y dormir cena
Y que me den las tantonas en cualquier vela
Estudio desde chica la carrera del que manda
Sentao, yo tomo nota, ella no planea, ella no tantea
Una mujer de su casa sus tareas, ella no ronea
Ella jacarrea, si llora berrea, si quiere querrea
Cada cual por su verea, poquito a poco se pierden las maneras
¿Pero quién no culea? Lo mío está en el aire, revolotea
¿Te vas de mí? Sí que sabes poco
Si digo esto es esto no lo otro
Yo por albahaca baña no me sofoco
Oro de a kilo to' lo que toco
Sólo necesito un poquito de cuerda
Mi madeja se deja desliar
No siempre quiero más
Hay veces que quiero menos, pero bueno
Sueño yo de que podría hacerlo mal pero lo hago bien
Y lo sé, mi papel, eso está bien y la carne bien hecha
¿Quién disfruta mejor que yo las fechas, izquierda, derecha?
Yo me muevo, se mueven las flechas, ¿y a mí quien me reza?
In the first verse of Mala Rodríguez's song Tambalea, she expresses her love for tropical music and partying. She acknowledges that she is not just someone who wants a simple beer, she wants to dance and have a good time. The chorus says that just give her a minute and she'll make everything shake. The girl wants to have fun, challenge someone to a dance-off, and feel the beat that makes one dizzy. She wants to flirt, kiss someone, and get heated. The song then moves on to say that she may not have monetary value, but she's just as valuable and exciting as any person. She seeks attention and wants to be desired. She also wants to learn from those who have power and learn their ways.
