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...
Mimi won a Gardel Award in 2002 as Best Female Rock Singer. She also toured Spain, Germany, México, and Argentina.

Monotonía
Mimi Maura Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
en donde partí
pero ahora se
todo están igual
cuesta todo mas
en cualquier ciudad
la rutina es cruel
pero al revés todo puede ser distinto
Dependerá de quien este conmigo
mi corazón quiere llegar hasta ti
y si no encuentra un lugar
Vuelvo a estar aquí
en donde partí...
The lyrics of Mimi Maura's song "Monotonía" speak of returning to where the singer started, but now she sees that everything is the same. The routine is cruel, and everything seems more difficult in any city she visits, but she believes that everything can be different from a different perspective. She acknowledges that it depends on who is with her; her heart desires to reach someone special, but if that person isn't there, she may feel lost or without a place.
"Monotonía" is a song deeply rooted in the feelings of nostalgia and restlessness. The lyrics capture the feeling of returning to a place we once called home, only to find that everything has changed, and what once brought comfort now seems monotonous. It speaks to the idea that sometimes even new places can't escape the monotony of everyday life. However, there is a glimmer of hope in the end, with the idea that perhaps everything can look different based on our perspective.
