Maria & Her Boys: Meet The Marías

Ethereal, romantic and just really sexy, The Marías are a band that invites you to be captivated by their unique sound. Singer María Zardoya leads the way, accompanied by a voice that is both sultry and alluring. This californian indie-group has mastered the art of producing a smooth and edgy, seductive sound. The Los Angeles-based group's indie element combines fragments of true R&B and Latin music, resulting in a authentic genre that not only makes their audience want to keep listening, but also challenges them to feel love and loss on a much deeper level.

There's an undeniable chemistry between Zardoya's smooth and velvety vocals and the band's layered and moody instrumentals, from the first notes. Her voice holds a quiet confidence, somewhat mellow and enchanting, yet always strong. It seems like they're always hinting at something further beneath the surface level of emotions. The band's onstage presence is magnetic and pulls you in with every song. It's a sort of sexiness that isn't loud at all, but rather more intimate, secretive and altogether captivating.

The Marías create their own sensorial sound, in which the harmonies twirl around us, as if they were slow dancing. Songs like “I Don't Know You” and “Hush” whisk you away to secret realms of dreamy desire, a feeling we can all relate to.

But their appeal isn't just because of Zardoya's voice alone, either. From the chemistry between the band members: “the boys”, as we've nicknamed (Joshua David Conway, Edward James and Jesse Perlman), create a seamless connection that feels as raw and magnetic as their sound. Collectively, the band creates art that is mellow, sensual and authentic to them.

They have that rare kind of sex appeal that doesn't shout for attention, but quietly claims it. They invite you into a world of effortlessly cool and sultry sounds of undeniable confidence. So give them a try and find out just how sexy, contemporary music can really sound.
