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...

Misterio
Mimi Maura Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
sueno tu sueño
entro a tu prisión
cansada de tanto dolor
Muero por dentro
no tengo tu amor
voy en tu vuelo
espero en tu infierno
me quema el suelo
Muero muy lento
y siento tu calor...
The song "Misterio" by Mimi Maura is a soulful and achingly poignant expression of love and longing. The lyrics speak to the singer's desperate desire for the object of their affection, despite the pain and uncertainty that come with such intense emotions. The opening lines, "Hay un misterio / sueno tu sueño / entro a tu prisión / cansada de tanto dolor" speak to the sense of mystery and enchantment that surrounds the singer's beloved, as well as their own sense of being trapped in a cycle of pain and disappointment. The second verse continues this theme of longing and desperation: "Muero por dentro / no tengo tu amor."
Despite this, there is a sense of hope and resilience in the singer's words. They urge the object of their affection to "no tengas miedo / voy en tu vuelo / espero en tu infierno / me quema el suelo," indicating their willingness to go to great lengths to be with them. Even as the singer feels themselves "muero muy lento," they can still feel the warmth of their beloved's presence and are clearly willing to endure whatever hardships may come in order to be together.
Overall, Mimi Maura's "Misterio" is a beautifully crafted and deeply moving song that speaks to the complexities of love and desire. The lyrics are rich with emotional depth and meaning, and the song's haunting melody only enhances its impact.
