SHORT BIO:
MYRANDAS is a Latin urban band based in LA. The project originated in Havana and was founded by trilingual singer Kristina Miranda and musician/Grammy Award-winning engineer Marciel Miranda. Initially recognized as a rock project, MYRANDAS transitioned to a new musical direction in 2022, incorporating Caribbean influences into their songs. The current lineup includes Cuban-Puerto Rican percussionist Richard Herrera and violist of Jamaican descent Jeremy Jones. The band blends Latin grooves, pop, and electronic music elements, offering a fresh perspective on the urbano genre.
Drawing inspiration from artists like Rosalía, Bomba Estéreo, Karol G, and Bad Bunny, MYRANDAS unveiled their fresh sound at NextFest 2022 at the LA County Fair. The band performed at festivals and popular tropical, dance, and Afro-Latin music events.
In 2023 MYRANDAS released the series of singles and received support globally from publications such as LA Times, Remezcla, Hola! USA. The year 2024 began with their song, ‘Cuentale,’ becoming one of the standout tracks in the telenovela Viceversa, which aired on Cuban television. Just a few months later, the band became a part of the LAMC virtual showcase, further solidifying their presence in the Latin music scene.
In May, they stormed the stage at the Unidos en la Musica Latin American Festival in St. Augustine, FL, opening for Fonseca. Later that month, MYRANDAS released their debut Spanish EP, “Nos Dejamos Llevar,” showcasing their evolving sound and setting ambitious goals for the future.
