Unintimidated by her own success, Mima bravely embraces change as one of the defining features of her music, constantly exploring and reinterpreting her craft.  A vanguard artist and pillar in the Puerto Rican alt-music scene, Mima represents both the struggle and viability of the independent musician in Puerto Rico.  Over the past 6 years since the release of her first album she has sold out concerts both in and out of Puerto Rico , often producing every aspect of the event, from the look and feel of the promotional material to the intricacies of each musical arrangement.

Mima’s self-titled 2005 premier has crept into quite a few iTunes libraries since its release 6 years ago.  Looking back now, it’s no suprise that her first record has reached so many ears.  Her sound has a familiar quality, like something that’s been with you for years, but with a delivery so rare and honest that you know you’ve never heard anything like it before.

Alot has happened since that first musical groundbreaking 6 years ago.  Now, after spending the better part of the last 2 years experimenting with new sounds and textures both live and in the studio, Mima offers forth a powerful new record, a poetic synthesis of Caribbean rhythms, North American soul, and southern psychedelia. Skillfully weaving the romanticism of traditional folk and Afro-Caribbean sounds with a DIY and post-punk approach, Mima offers up a dark and powerful work, one that takes the listener on a constantly changing journey, sometimes soothing, at others shockingly irreverent, as it navigates a new kind of Caribbean landscape.  Recorded in a bedroom in a small coastal town near San Juan, and mixed in Texas by Stuart Sikes (Whites Stripes/Cat Power/Loretta Lynn), El Pozo is a supersonic road trip, timelessly rooted in Latin American tradition, combining magical storytelling with expert musicianship to create a shockingly expressive musical narrative.
