-Maria Isa


ABOUT: 
Born and raised in the Twin Cities to NuyoRican parents, emcee, singer, and songwriter
Maria Isa is recognized for her dedication towards celebrating her cultural diversity through music and political activism. Influenced by the traditional Afro-Boricua 'ritmos' of Bomba and Plena, along with the Soul and Funk of Motown and Fania’s fusion of Salsa and Bugaloo, Isa plants an organic blend of call and response with lyrical "Spanglish" rhymes through the various drum beats and snares of Hip-Hop, Reggae, Dancehall and Reggaeton. In 1992 Maria began her performing arts education at El Arco Iris Center for Arts, forming Raices in 2002 with other advanced students to conserve their ancestral Puerto Rican folklore music.
