As an outspoken advocate of women's rights and human/gender equality, Jarina's music is a unique blend of global consciousness and global rhythms. She simultaneously supports the message of resistance, while creating a colorful sound entirely her own.In creating an affinity between genres, Jarina de Marco's genre-spanning behavior proves there are no creative process boundaries.

Her contribution to the music industry and Latinx community is one that has made an impact. Motivated by her identity's layered realities and the political and social complexities in the community, the multilingual singer-songwriter, and visual artist can infuse various styles that transcend languages and borders and carry social-consciousness.

Her upcoming project “Caribbean All-inclusive Luxury”, a spoof of the many hotels that exist in the Dominican Republic, is set to drop in 2021. It will be the first project in which the artist emphasizes love, romance, and intimacy in her lyrics and topics.——For more information about Jarina De Marco, please visit: Instagram: @JarinaDeMarcoFacebook: Jarina De MarcoTwitter: @JarinaDeMarcoWatch the “ELECTRICO” music video.
