Music like La Yegros

Mariana Yegros, better known by her stage name La Yegros, is an Argentinian singer-songwriter.

Mariana Yegros was born in Morón, in Buenos Aires Province. Daughter of Aníbal Yegros and Pily Jara, she discovered her passion in music while being very young.

Her influences come from her family origins. Her father listened to chamamé, which is traditional folk music from the north of Argentina, and her mother listened to cumbia. Later in life she explored music from India and Africa which inspired her to mix music styles.

After finishing high school, she joined the Conservatory of Music of Morón in Buenos Aires to study opera singing.

A few years after joining her studies, she joined an alternative group called De La Guarda. There were two music directors, one of whom was King Coya (Argentinean electro-cumbia producer). That opened the way for her to start performing in public, to sing in front of thousands of people.
