Biography
Monica Rojas was born in Tlaquepaque, Jalisco, Mexico. She is considered one of the most talented mariachi singers, gifted with a beautiful voice and an unique brave interpretive style. In 1991, she began professionally as co-founder of the first all female mariachi band in the world "Las Perlitas Tapatías" at the age of 17, playing the guitarrón. These girls pioneered a new Mexican tradition: women playing mariachi music, performing throughout Mexico, the United States, and part of Latin America. In 1995, Mónica Rojas decided to continue her career as a solo singer, delighting the public in all kinds of scenarios: Theaters, bullrings, fairs, resorts, radio, television, etc., alongside great stars such as Alejandro Fernández, Pepe Aguilar and other great artists in Mexico, the United States and Europe. She graduated from the School of Music of the University of Guadalajara in 2004; since then she has combined her singing career with teaching music.
Monica has recorded 6 albums, which include the most Mexican rhythms such as huapango, son and ranchera songs, combined with ballads and boleros such as "A mi manera", "Ojos españoles and "Bésame mucho". One of her albums was produced by Don Pedro Rivera by CINTAS ACUARIO, winner of Latin Grammys and other awards.
In the summer of 2023, Mónica conquered Spain on a tour of presentations throughout the Navarre region and the Basque Country, and also in London, UK. At the end of the same year, she was part of the Technical Team of the Exhibition "Women, Music and Mariachi" that shows the history of women's mariachis; this project was the winner of the Proyecta contest, organized by Cultura Jalisco.
In 2024 she visited Costa Rica, performing during a week of celebrations for the Aniv. of the Independence of Mexico. She also created the MuMaFest (Intercultural Mariachi Women Festival) within the framework of #UnDíaParaDarJalisco.
MuMaFest, in its first edition, placed the exhibition "Women, Music and Mariachi" in the Guadalajara Chamber of Commerce; and presented a Concert at the IMSS Theater with Monica accompanied by her Symphonic Women's Mariachi (unique in the world with more than 40 mariachi women and more than 30 singers of the Mayahuel Women's Choir).
Monica produced and directed the studio recording of 3 songs accompanied by this unique ensemble, with her own musical arrangements.
In 2025, she continues to perform on different stages while working on the production of the second edition of MuMaFest, incorporating new projects, which will be published in the following weeks.
