It reflects the work of many years and crystallizes that desire to want to tell this story to people, but it also reflects a lot what is indigenous, what is Ecuadorian ”, says who many know as the queen of Andipop. The roots of the singer-songwriter sound in this melody through the cununos, the quenas, the zampoñas, the requinto and the charango, typical musical instruments of the Andean area, which in turn are mixed with the pop beats that she enjoys so much , as well as the electronics and synthesizers. In this authentic way, it rescues those vernacular sounds that are being forgotten by the new generations but that are a treasure and the pride of all the cultures that inhabit the country where it was born. Recently, the singer-songwriter was in charge of creating the female empowerment jingle for the Telemundo network’s women’s month, “Here we are.” Mirella Cesa is promoting her latest single “Linda Despedida” and continues to work on new music to present soon.
