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...

Mensaje Especial
Mimi Maura Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A todos los que nos traicionaron
Si quieren ver sangre verán
Si quieren verdad ser humano
Y vas a cerrar tus ojos para ver
Ahí va mi palabra especial
Y vamos ahora a viajar
De aquí hacia lo sagrado
Y vas a cerrar tus ojos para ver...
The lyrics of Mimi Maura's "Mensaje Especial" convey strong emotions towards the people who have betrayed and helped the singer. The song begins with the singer sending out a "special message" to all the people who have betrayed them. They warn that if these people want to see bloodshed, they will get it. But, if they want to know the truth, they need to act like human beings. The singer's anger and frustration towards the betrayers are palpable in this verse.
The second verse of the song is a complete contrast to the first. The singer expresses gratitude towards all the people who have helped them. The line "Y vamos ahora a viajar de aquí hacia lo sagrado" shows that they now want to move forward with these people to a more spiritual and sacred place. Both verses end with the line "Y vas a cerrar tus ojos para ver," which means "and you will close your eyes to see." This could mean that the singer is trying to convey a message that can only be understood by those who are willing to look beyond the surface and listen with their hearts.
In conclusion, "Mensaje Especial" is a song that conveys strong emotions of betrayal and gratitude. The lyrics send a message that only those who are willing to look beyond the surface and listen with their hearts will understand.
