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...

Yo No Lloro Más
Mimi Maura Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
y si se quiere ir que se vaya
Si te quieres ir pues vete,
a quedarte no te obligo
mas piénsalo bien mulato
sufrir será tu castigo
y si se quiere ir que se vaya
Por tu amor llore bastante,
lloré pa' llenar un río (de boba)
pero de hoy en adelante,
de lo amores me río
Yo no lloro más
y si se quiere ir que se vaya
Yo quiero cuando me quieren
y si me dejan me olvido
que yo no tengo la culpa
de ser como siempre he sido
Yo no lloro más
y si se quiere ir que se vaya
Que te casaste con otra
hoy me lo dijo un amigo
se feliz y que no sufras
lo que yo sufrí contigo
Yo no lloro más
y si se quiere ir que se vaya...
In Mimi Maura's song "Yo No Lloro Más," the singer declares that she will no longer cry over the person who wants to leave her. She tells them that if they want to go, they should leave and she won't beg them to stay. However, she warns them that if they choose to leave, they will suffer for it. The singer reflects on how much she cried for the person, but now she will no longer cry over love. She wants to be loved and if someone leaves her, she will forget them and move on. She also reminds the person that if they chose to marry someone else, she wishes them happiness and hopes they won't suffer the same way she did.
The song speaks to the universal human experience of heartbreak and the pain that comes with it. The singer's strength and resilience in overcoming her heartbreak can serve as a source of inspiration for anyone who has gone through a similar experience. The lyrics also touch on themes of self-respect and self-love, encouraging listeners to recognize their own worth and not settle for someone who doesn't value them.
