Biography

Mare became involved in the Hip hop music community and eventually became part of OCG crew as a rapper and singer. OCG later branched out and Advertencia Lirika was formed, the only female group of its kind in Oaxaca. Mare currently focuses on her solo career and continues singing and making music.

Music

Mare first became involved with hip hop in 2003, when she joined the group OCG. OCG branched out and a trio of it's members decided to form a collective project called Advertencia Lirika. When the group formed in 2004, its members, Luna, Itza and Mare, played their music in local and national events.[1] They are first and only group of female rappers in the state of Oaxaca even until the present. In 2007 they released their first CD titled "3 Reinas" (3 Queens). They continued their collective work until 2009, when the group decided to break up and follow individual careers. Mare has since gone solo and focuses on her independent career though she remains working in collectives and promoting the work and music of women. In 2010 she released her first EP as a soloist ‘Que mujer!’ a collection of seven songs about everyday life that focus on the injustices against Indigenous women.[2] In 2010 she was involved in a compilation "Salir A Las Calles" with the purpose of disseminating the current situation of political prisoners in her country.

She is featured in Natalia Lafourcade’s Canto por Mexico - El Musical.

Collective work

Mare has been involved with various organizations. She incorporates her music into many of the projects she has been involved with. For example, her work with “Salir a las Calles” brings awareness to the political and social injustices in her country. She also spreads her message through songs like “Hasta Que el Último Salga,” in which she shows her contempt for prison injustices and land disputes. In 2009 she became part of the campaign "Justice for Oaxaca! Punishment of the Murderers of Lorenzo San Pablo Cervantes" which seeks justice for the death of Lorenzo Cervantez who was killed by paramilitaries and white guards under the rule of Ulises Ruiz Ortiz.

Cuando Una Mujer Avanza (Film)

Mare is the focus of a documentary by Manuvelto, a community based media production whose efforts emphasize the efforts of immigrant and indigenous communities, called "Cuando Una Mujer Avanza" or “When a Woman Steps Forward”. Throughout the documentary, Mare revisits her life as a native Zapotec woman and uses her experiences to share with others her perspective and insight on music, community, identity and gender. It is a biography of her life, and attempts to tells the story of many women in Oaxaca constricted by institutionalized sexism but discovering empowerment through hip-hop's global market for social justice. Mare embraces the world of hip hop and through her lyrics tries to empower and open the minds of people to strive for social justice.

In 2012, after the completion of the film, she and its activist filmmaker, Simon Sedillo, toured the United States to promote the film.
