At the age of 14, after two years living in Mexico City, Mimi returned to Puerto Rico for good. In 1987, she started jamming with local bands, untill her brother Niguel influenced her into Metal Music; and they formed a band. They played a couple of years together with Rencor, one of the first “in-Spanish” rock bands from Puerto Rico.
Mimi studied Fine Arts in The Arts School in Old San Juan. When she was 20 years old, she met the island ska scene and got hooked on Jamaican reggae-rocksteady beat style. In 1991, she entered an all-girl band, Alarma!, a heavy music band. They travelled to New York, and played in Sob's and in Los Angeles for the La Banda Elastica Festival with Maldita Vecindad. They were also opening act for many bands that came to the island, such as Dos Minutos, Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, and Fito Paez.
But things were about to change... she met an Argentinian musician from Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, saxophone player Sergio Rotman. After a coupe of years of friendship, the relation grew, they fell in love, and started to travel together anywhere! Sergio invited Mimi to form a band with him, so she decided to go South, to Buenos Aires. In Argentina, Mimi was invited to sing with Cienfuegos (Sergio's punk rock project), she sang in the Caravelas y Diablitos by Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, met the "porteña" scene, recorded with Attaque 77, Los Piojos, Kapanga, and sang with many other friends.
In 1998, she became mother to a son named Leroy. Sergio and Mimi formed a band with friends that had the same love for Jamaican music & Latin rhythms. They've performed in many Buenos Aires clubs, cafe's & theaters, for example, Ciclo Molotov in the Centro Cultural Ricardo Rojas, along with Riddim, in Luz y Fuerza Theater with Cienfuegos, in Cemento with Lumumba, openings for Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, Fun People, Divididos...

Al Borde Del Tiempo
Mimi Maura Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
otra vez el desierto
vuelve a estar tan cerca de mi, como ayer
creo que puedes ver lo que siento
cuando me encuentro así
porque estoy atado al borde del tiempo
que se va para no volver jamás
quien busca quien pierde
olvidar todo lo que te dije ayer
abrazar siete veces la vida
de tus lagrimas no podré beber
porque estoy atado al borde del tiempo
que se va deseando algún día volver
a encontrar a crecer...
The lyrics of Mimi Maura's song Al Borde Del Tiempo talk about the struggles of the present moment and the longing for the past. The desert, which is a metaphor for emptiness and loneliness, is back again and the singer feels trapped on the edge of time. The line "creo que puedes ver lo que siento cuando me encuentro asi" (I think you can see what I feel when I am like this) shows that the singer is feeling vulnerable and open to a deeper connection with someone.
The lines "quien busca quien pierde" (who looks, who loses) and "quiero estar otra vez a tu lado, olvidar todo lo que te dije ayer" (I want to be by your side again, forget everything I said yesterday) show that the singer is regretful of their actions towards someone they care about. The line "de tus lagrimas no podré beber" (I cannot drink your tears) is a powerful metaphor showing the singer's limitations in comforting the person they care about. They are unable to turn back the time and change their actions towards them.
Overall, the song Al Borde Del Tiempo is about the impermanence of time and the longing for connection and comfort. The desert represents the emptiness that the singer feels, and the only hope they have is to grow and find that connection again in the future.
