1. A lofi hip hop producer from Pheonix, Arizona.
2. Nydia Rojas (born 1980, Whittier, California), daughter of Arturo and Olivia Rojas, is an American singer of Mexican/Cuban/Yaqui Indian heritage and a celebrated prodigy on the mariachi circuit. She performs in a wide range of musical styles such as jazz, soul, and R&B, but makes a particular specialty of mariachi. As a vocalist who also plays numerous musical instruments, she continues to embrace her adored roots, inspiring young audiences around the country. As an advocate for music education, she is committed to serving as a role model for many generations to come, as she has focused much of her career to this relentless passion of hers.
Nydia spent several years of her early childhood in Guadalajara, Mexico, where she was exposed to local musical styles which greatly influenced her later career. When she was 4 years old she watched the movie Nosotros Los Pobres, starring Pedro Infante. She was so captivated by the movie that she learned the lyrics to its theme song, "Amorcito Corazon", and her interest in music and singing was further stimulated.
At age 9, she sang in the East Los Angeles restaurant El Mercadito, which marked the albeit small beginning of her public performing career. That same year, she performed at a retirement home in Guadalajara, Jalisco, and the following year, at age 10, she embarked on a semi-regular gig at another restaurant, El Taco Loco in Hawaiian Gardens. Initially she sang with a mariachi group which already performed at the restaurant, but soon she was in demand in her own right. In this context she accepted requests for songs from restaurant patrons, arranging to learn them for the following week if songs were requested with which she was unfamiliar.
Nydia attended Los Altos High School in Hacienda Heights, CA as well as Orange County High School of the Arts in Los Alamitos, CA. She was also involved with the Mariachi Heritage Society Program based in East Los Angeles, CA. Her first violin and guitar instructor was Laura Sobrino, a pioneer female mariachi musician. One of her mentors was José Hernàndez, founder of Mariachi Sol de Mexico, who also produced her debut album. She also studied voice with Heriberto Molina ("El Cura"), one of the original members of the great Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlan.
At age 13, Nydia became a vocalist/guitarist with the all-female Mariachi Reyna de Los Angeles, which provided a spring-board for her to gain a solo contract with the Arista Latin recording label. Her debut solo album, self-titled, was recorded when she was 15 years of age then released after her 16th birthday. In the next five years another three solo albums followed. During this time her performances played to packed audiences of up to 18,000 fans.
In todays U.S. Latin music market, few mariachi singers have been able to reach wide audiences. The music is hard to sell outside of the fanatics of the genre. Nydia Rojas, however, broke those boundaries when she released her debut album at only 16 years of age and started setting the pace for mariachi music in the U.S. Nydia gained plenty of praise as she performed all throughout the country and her music was heard in many different lands, helping her gain fans from Mexico to Germany to Japan. She was invited to perform for President Clinton during his inauguration, and later that year, she was declared a mariachi sensation by USA Today.
Nydia's third album, Si Me Conocieras, was nominated for a Latin Grammy award alongside such established artists as Vicente Fernández and Alejandro Fernández, and Antonio and Pepe Aguilar. Although she did not win the award, it further established her as an outstanding performer in her field, and soon after this she went on two national tours with the great Juan Gabriel. The first tour gave her the opportunity to work closely with Gabriel who expressed much admiration for her talent, and led to her recording her fourth solo album, Nydia, which for the first time took more of a mainstream Latin pop direction while still displaying all of Nydia's musical skills. Juan Gabriel sang two duets with Nydia on this album and named her one of the best interpreters of his music from her generation. During the recording of this album, her father had died. Although she was able to complete her recordings, soon afterwards she committed to a long break from her musical career in order to convert this experience into a positive one.
No Vale la Pena
Nydia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lo que tú me quieres
Porque es muy poquito
Eso no me llena, no me suficiente
Quiero otro tantito
No vale la pena
Tus distantes citas
La intención es buena
Nadie te lo quita
Pero más yo quiero
No vale la pena, corazón
Es amor de un rato
Si siempre yo te veo, corazón
Muy de vez en cuando
No vale la pena
Date cuenta de eso
Que lo que tú me has dado
Es una miseria, son muy pocos besos
Para un enamorado
No vale la pena, corazón
Es amor de un rato
Si siempre yo te veo, corazón
Muy de vez en cuando
No vale la pena
Date cuenta de eso
Que lo que tú me has dado
Es una miseria, son muy pocos besos
Para un enamorado
No vale la pena
In Nydia Rojas's song "No Vale La Pena", the lyrics speak about a relationship that is lacking and unsatisfactory. The person singing the song is expressing that the love that they receive from their partner is not enough and does not fulfill their desires. They say that they want more than what they are currently receiving because the love they are given is short-lived and fleeting.
The chorus of the song emphasizes that it is not worth it, saying "No vale la pena" which means "it's not worth it". They talk about how the love they receive from their partner is temporary, and that they only see them every once in a while. They understand that their partner has good intentions but cannot provide the love that they need.
The lyrics are a powerful reminder that love alone is not enough to sustain a relationship. While intentions may be good, it is important for both partners to put in the effort to make each other happy and to provide the love and support that is needed. The song shows that it is better to seek out a relationship that fulfills all of your needs rather than settling for something that is not enough.
