MACARENA, in collaboration with producers Jeremiah and Jesse, has crafted a musical gem that transcends boundaries, both emotional and geographical.

This single is a compelling fusion of Latin Pop and Church music, featuring gospel instruments that infuse the track with both depth and resonance. While MACARENA’s live performance history may not yet be extensive in terms of notable gigs or festivals, her music resounds powerfully with audiences on a global scale. Her forthcoming performance on one of the ADE stages serves as testament to her burgeoning presence in the music landscape.
Beyond the realm of “Libre,” MACARENA is actively engaged in crafting a new EP. In this upcoming project, she revisits older songs, presenting them in a fresh light to showcase her artistic evolution. “Libre” has received acclaim from critics who have been captivated by MACARENA’s exceptional vocal prowess and the lyrical depth of the song. It explores the myriad facets of LGBTQ+ relationships, delving into themes of love and jealousy with remarkable sensitivity and grace.
In the words of MACARENA herself, “As an artist, I’m constantly growing and evolving in terms of sound and perspective. Through my music, I aspire to inspire and reassure others that change is not only acceptable but also a beautiful part of life’s journey. It’s perfectly okay to not have everything neatly figured out.” “Libre” wholeheartedly embodies this sentiment, extending a musical embrace to anyone on their individual path to freedom and understanding.
