"Queen of the scene" — The Guardian
"One of the most innovative and ear-catching sets" — Afropop
"If ever Pedro Almodóvar wanted a new muse, he need look no further than La Yegros" — Songlines
La Yegros currently resides in two distinct places – the romantic south of France and the pulsing heart of Argentina, Buenos Aires. Her eclectic music first received attention from major international media such as The Guardian, BBC, Time Out and The Fader, which led to the signing of her first deal, with the debut LP 'Viene de Mi' released in 2013.
Her third album "Suelta", (roughly: "an invitation to let loose") accelerates the fusion of various musical genres that make up her personality and musical identity.
La Yegros is a native of Buenos Aires, and her parents are from Misiones, a province in the North East that draws its language from between Brazil and Paraguay. In this enclave, whose porous borders let all kinds of foreign rhythms seep in, people play & dance to Chamamé (a mixture of polka and Guarani music), Carnavalito and to Columbian Cumbia. These genres, bearing the hues of the Andean folklores, have then been put through the mill of Jamaican dancehall and electronic production, thus composing a cocktail of which only La Yegros knows the recipe.
Having grown up in the suburbs of a cosmopolitan city imbued with the rural traditions of the country, and based today between France and Argentina, La Yegros stays true to her identity, which is as composite as her music is. This sincerity can be found in the songs on "Suelta", most of which she has written both the lyrics and the music for, drawing her inspiration from considerations that are in turn intimate and social, exalting the role of women: "Tenemos voz" ("We have a voice"), she sings with the British MC Soom T.
To previous influences like Carnavalito and Cumbia found on her album "Magnetismo", we can now add the frantic rhythms of Huayno and Chamarrera, the Columbian sounds of Andean flutes as well as Middle Eastern ingredients, all going through metamorphosis in order to conquer international dance floors.
Finally, "Suelta" provides its author with the ammo for her future concerts, which can be expected to perpetuate the irresistible combination of ground-breaking styles and festive intentions.
Dubbed the queen of New Cumbia, La Yegros is not about to abandon her throne.
"Queen of the scene" — The Guardian
"A vitality that compels and inspires movement through dance." — KCRW
"One of the most innovative and ear-catching sets" — Afropop
"The amazingly talented Afro-Argentinian mujer" — Latina
"If ever Pedro Almodóvar wanted a new muse, he need look no further than La Yegros" — Songlines
"She's agile and raps with bravado" — The Guardian
"Her voice is amazing: somehow she conveys a raw urgency while sounding completely relaxed and conversational" — The Fader
"Her precise, even strident, vocals effortlessly dominate proceedings" — The Independent
