About the Artist

MALA RODRÍGUEZ. BIOGRAPHY

María Rodríguez was born on February 13, 1978 in Cadiz. Shortly after her birth, her family moved to Seville, where she grew up surrounded by art, music and dancing. It wasn't long before little María stood out from the rest because of her artistic skills. She finds it hard to put an exact date for the start of her career because she was born an artist.

Between 1991 and 1993, she showed interest in R'n'B and disciplines linked to Soul, Blues and the emerging Hip Hop music. This was an intense period for María. It was then that she started writing and rapping lyrics over musical bases and instruments. She met neighborhood bands and artists and discovered a personal dimension that would mark her forever.

In 1996, after traipsing the streets with her rhymes, she set foot on a stage and this was how her musical career began. In 1997, she made a rough cut with a neighborhood friend. In 1999 began her musical activity. She recorded "A Jierro" and "Toma la Traca" with Sr. Tcee. She later recorded "Yo marco el minuto" with Dive Dibosso and "Tambalea". María was already the talk of the town. Concerts, collaborations and months of frenetic activity. In 1999 Mala started working on "Lujo Ibérico", an LP that saw the light in October 2000 and sold more than 50,000 copies (Gold Record).

In 2003 María presented "Alevosía", an evolutionary record mixed in New York that opened a new phase in María's career and also won her a Gold Record.

In 2006 she published a maxi called "Por la noche", which included three versions of the same theme, including an instrumental version produced by Supernafamacho. La Mala sang the first version solo and it was featured in the OST of "Yo soy la Juani". The second version featured Capaz (of Hablando en plata), Toteking and Juaninacka. The third version included Meko and Arianna Puello. The maxi reached number one in the lists in a matter of days. Its video became one of the most seen musical videos in recent years.

Malamarismo will be in stores on April 30, 2007. This is without a doubt the most complete work of Mala Rodríguez. Malamarismo is María in her purest state, in her best artistic and personal moment yet.

MALA RODRÍGUEZ: "MALAMARISMO"

"Malamarismo": Miracle-working art of playing with concepts in order to amaze listeners, displaying great doses of skill and agility, exclusive of Mala Rodríguez.

After beating all records with the advance single "Por la noche", Mala Rodríguez presents her most intricate production: "Malamarismo", a broad-ranging album recorded between Puerto Rico, New York, Los Angeles and Spain, produced by Griffi (Sólo los Sólo), Sr. Tcee (VKR), Dj Rectangle and Giggi Mantequilla, and featuring Raimundo Amador, Tego Calderón, Julieta Venegas and Mahoma.

On few occasions does an adjective reach the substantive category and is elevated to proper noun. On few occasions is a woman able to naturally occupy a privileged position given to her by society without questioning. On few occasions is it possible to combine art, sensitivity and popularity under the form of a song. And it is only now that a woman reaches the very top on her own right to turn the world inside out with her original point of view.

María Rodríguez has closed the circle thanks to her magic. Her words remain on air and are inevitably shaped after the silence to remain in the very depth of whoever is listening. Mala adjusts to new sensitivities effortlessly, without losing a bit of her personality. It is astonishing to realize the synergy between the innovating Griffi productions and María's voice, or how she adapts her voice to a club theme by Rectangle, such as "Nanai".

María supervised the project from the very beginning until the record was sent to the factory. She was involved with the artistic and executive direction together with her team, as if her whole life depended on it.

Malamarismo contains sharp recreations to shake consciences and ritual enchantments able to move the hardest hearts. There is no middle point. Life either hurts or is loved, as intense as it is. Mala approaches her new project with enthusiasm and all her vitality, as if it were the first time. An exquisite production that identifies her as unique.

Malamarismo is María in her purest state, in her best artistic and personal moment yet.

María doesn't sing or rap; María "malamarizes"

MALAMARISMO TRACK BY TRACK

The album begins with a declaration of María's intentions in "Volveré", along the beat imposed by Sr. Tcee. A half-tempo with straightforward lyrics and a message to whoever wants to listen to it. Immediately after that track, we find a talkative artist full of energy. María bursts in with an unbeatable flow in "Te convierto", a handbook of street-wise knowledge, accompanied by the guitar and the voice of Raimundo Amador.

The prestigious Dj de Las Vegas Rectangle produces, records and mixes a song that fits María like a made-to-measure suit. A risky musical production for a register ahead of its time. Nanai is conceived to be a street hymn. In "Caída libre" Griffi creates a context for Mala to recreate in it at her will; and she does it, as only she knows how to do it. Malamares of words and sentences that say a lot in a short period of time and slowly eat up the world away.

"Menos tú" is a sharp and solid critic of all the bragging that surrounds our personal relationships under a peculiar production from Griffi, which maybe differentiates the most from the rest. In "Tiempo pa pensá", produced by Giggi Mantequilla and featuring Julieta Venegas, María shows her versatility even more.

"Toca, toca" is a genuine musical provocation, a myriad of ironic and cheeky puns over a rhythmical production by Griffi. "Enfermo" is one of the most significant themes in the album, and uses irony to talk about insanity hand in hand with the great Tego Calderón. A reality seen from the verge, strongly critical of a fastidious society that sets the limits of correctness.

María breaths in and aims directly at the welfare society, at the hypocrisy of a system where the human being doesn't have any say. Mala strongly criticizes a false progress that only generates victims, supported by Dj Rectangle's production in "La Loca". "Miedo", also produced by Dj de Las Vegas, starts off with the high energy of Mahoma and introduces a very significant intervention from Mala. In "Memorias del futuro" María sharpens her pen and measures her expression to take you to her own playing ground. The closer she seems to be, the more acid she becomes... In "Jura y Gana" Mala shows her cards again and defends her way of looking at life, particularly in this very moment.

In "Déjame Entrá", produced by Griffi, María's vocal skills grow as in no other song. The lyrics are written with rebelliousness and become even greater thanks to Raimundo Amador's guitar.

MALA RODRÍGUEZ. BIOGRAFÍA

María Rodríguez nace el 13 de febrero de 1978 en Cádiz. Poco después su familia se traslada definitivamente a Sevilla, ciudad que la ve crecer entre arte, música y baile. La niña maría despunta enseguida por sus capacidades artísticas. Su memoria no podría marcar un comienzo concreto porque nació artista.

Entre 1991y 1993 se interesa por el r'n'b y las disciplinas vinculadas con el soul, el blues y el hip hop emergente. María vive intensamente este periodo y comienza a escribir y a rapear sus letras sobre bases e instrumentos. Entra en contacto con grupos y artistas de su barrio y descubre una dimensión personal que proyectaría definitivamente.

En 1996, después de patearse las calles con sus rimas, sube a un escenario y marca el comienzo de su carrera musical. En 1997 graba una maqueta con un amigo de su barrio. En 1999 arranca su actividad discográfica. Graba con Sr. Tcee "A Jierro" y "Toma la Traca". Después grabó "Yo marco el minuto" con Dive Dibosso y "Tambalea". María ya está en boca de todos. Conciertos, colaboraciones y unos meses vertiginosos. En 1999 Mala comienza a trabajar "Lujo Ibérico", el Lp que vería la luz en octubre de 2000 que vendió más de 50.000 copias (disco de oro).

En 2003 María presenta "Alevosía", un disco evolutivo mezclado en Nueva York que marcó un nuevo paso en la carrera de María y consiguió también ser disco de oro.

En 2006 edita el maxi "Por la noche", con tres versiones del mismo tema y la instrumental producida por Supernafamacho. La primera versión es cantada en solitario por La Mala y aparece en la BSO de la película "Yo soy la Juani". En la segunda participan Capaz (de Hablando en plata), Toteking y Juaninacka. La tercera versión incluye a Meko y Arianna Puello. El maxi ascendió al número uno de las listas en pocos días. El videoclip homónimo es uno de los clips musicales más vistos de los últimos años.

El 30 de abril de 2006 sale a la venta Malamarismo, sin duda el trabajo más completo de Mala Rodríguez. Malamarismo es María en estado puro, en su mejor momento artístico y personal.

MALA RODRÍGUEZ: "MALAMARISMO"

Malamarismo: arte taumatúrgico de manejar conceptos para deslumbrar al que escucha, con grandes dosis de destreza y agilidad, propio y exclusivo de Mala Rodríguez.

Después de batir todo los records con el single/adelanto "Por la noche", Mala Rodríguez presenta su producción más compleja: "Malamarismo". Un disco amplísimo, grabado entre Puerto Rico, Nueva York, Los Ángeles y España. Producciones de Griffi (Sólo los Sólo), Sr Tcee (VKR), Dj Rectangle y Giggi Mantequilla y colaboraciones de Raimundo Amador, Tego Calderón, Julieta Venegas y Mahoma.

Pocas veces sucede que un adjetivo adquiera categoría de sustantivo y sea elevado a nombre propio. Pocas veces una mujer puede representar naturalmente un lugar de privilegio que la sociedad le otorga sin duda alguna. Pocas veces es posible combinar arte, sensibilidad y vigencia en forma de canciones. Y sólo ésta vez, una mujer asciende por derecho a lo más alto para azotar al mundo del derecho y del revés con su original punto de vista.

María Rodríguez ha cerrado el círculo con su magia. Sus palabras permanecen en el aire y cobran forma después del silencio inevitablemente, para permanecer en lo más profundo de quien escucha. Mala se adapta a las nuevas sensibilidades sin esfuerzo alguno, sin perder un ápice de personalidad. Impresiona comprobar la sinergia entre las innovadores producciones de Griffi y la voz de María o su adaptación vocal en un tema club de Reactangle como "Nanai".

María ha supervisado el proyecto desde el primer momento hasta el envío del disco a fábrica. Ha ejercido labores de dirección artística y ejecutiva, junto al equipo que ha participado, como si fuera su vida en ello.

Malamarismo es un contenedor de agudas recreaciones para sacudir conciencias o encantamientos rituales que conmueven los corazones más duros. No hay término medio. La vida duele o gusta, con toda la intensidad. Mala aborda su nuevo proyecto con entusiasmo y toda su vitalidad, como si fuera la primera vez. Una producción exquisita que otorga a su protagonista el calificativo de única.

Malamarismo es María en estado puro, en su mejor momento artístico y personal.

María no canta, ni rapea; María malamarea

TRACK BY TRACK MALAMARISMO

María comienza el disco con una declaración de intenciones, "Volveré" arropada por los beats de Sr. Tcee. Medio tiempo con letras claras y un mensaje para quien quiera escucharlo. Inmediatamente después nos encontramos con la artista enérgica y locuaz; María irrumpe con un flow inmejorable en "Te convierto" un manual de doctrina callejera, acompañada por las guitarras y la voz de Raimundo Amador.

El prestigioso Dj de Las Vegas Rectangle produce, graba y mezcla un tema encajado a María como un vestido a medida. Una producción musical arriesgada para un registro adelantado a su tiempo. Nanai está concebida para ser un himno de la calle. En "Caída libre" Griffi crea el contexto para que Mala se recree tranquilamente; y lo hace cómo sólo ella sabe hacerlo. Malamares de palabras y frases que dicen mucho en poco espacio y, despacio, se comen el mundo.

"Menos tú" es una crítica sagaz y contundente a la vanagloria habitual que rodea nuestras relaciones personales, sobre una producción peculiar de Griffi, quizá la más diferenciada del resto. En "Tiempo pa pensá" María expone aún más su versatilidad en una producción de Giggi Mantequilla junto a Julieta Venegas.

"Toca, toca" es una auténtica provocación musical. Juegos de palabras con ironía y descaro, en la producción más rítmica de Griffi. "Enfermo" es uno de los temas mas significativos del disco, que ironiza con la locura de la mano del genial Tego Calderón. Una realidad vista desde el extremo, que critica claramente a la sociedad escrupulosa que clasifica los límites de lo correcto.

María toma aire y apunta directamente a la sociedad del bienestar, a la hipocresía de un sistema en el que el ser humano no pinta nada. Mala critica duramente un falso progreso que sólo crea víctimas, sustentada por la producción de Dj Rectangle en "La Loca". "Miedo" es otra producción de Dj de Las Vegas que arranca con la energía de Mahoma y da pie a una intervención muy significativa de Mala. En "Memorias del futuro" María afina la pluma y mide la expresión para llevarte a su terreno. Cuanto más cercana se muestra, mejor cultiva su acidez... En "Jura y Gana" Mala vuelve a enseñar las cartas y defiende su forma de ver la vida, especialmente en este momento de su vida.

"Déjame Entrá" es otra producción de Griffi en la que María crece vocalmente como en ninguna otra canción. Una letra escrita con rebeldía que engorda gracias a la guitarra de Raimundo Amador.

This review is from: Malamarismo (Audio CD)
Este es el mejor disco de la Mala Rodriguez, es muy melodico y dinamico. "Te Convierto" es mi cancion favorita, se puede escuchar en ella influencias IDM como de BATTLES (wrap records). En otras canciones hay influencias de Blues y Flamenco y las liricas son excelentes. Se los recomiendo muchisimo.

Scott S (Tucson, AZ USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Malamarismo (Audio CD)
With Malamarismo, it feels like La Mala has finally come into her own - she has ditched the flamenco flavor and the result is a sound that is totally unique. The rhythms are complex, the lyrics are clever, the synths (when used) are warm, and her voice is still incredible. To those looking to find something a little different than the generic garbage from Hollywood, I can't recommend this highly enough. This is by far my favorite CD of 2007. Standout tracks include Dejame Entra, Memorias Del Futuro, and Menos Tu.

5.0 out of 5 stars Haciendo malabarismos con las palabras, January 9, 2012
This review is from: Malamarismo (Audio CD)
La Mala's 3rd work in her long list of excellent albums is undoubtedly impressive, but definitely not her best.

Malamarismo is unique and takes on a more American flavor with a lot of the production originating from the United States, still, this album remains truly Mala with clever lyrics that will provoke you to think and question what La Mala is trying to put forth.

Stand out tracks would have to be Volveré, Te Convierto, Por la Noche, Memorias del Futuro, Caída Libre, Enfermo, and Miedo. Some of the tracks seem a bit misplaced on the album, songs like Tiempo Pá Pensar seemed more like an afterthought to put on the album and not something that pertained to the original theme.

Overall you are not going to get much better than La Mala when it comes to Spanish hip hop. She's no 2pac or Biggie Smalls, but could be compared to the Spanish, female version of Lupe Fiasco.

La Mala remains one of the best MCs in the world and definitely the best female MC to ever grace the stage.
