In her third EP, Mar y Tierra, Mexican-Salvadorian-American artist Niko Rubio deeply explores her heritage while maintaining the influence of her California upbringing. Her first full Spanish-language effort, produced by Grammy Award-winner Lester Mendez and co-written with Maria Vertiz, Cuco, and León Leiden, merges traditional Mexican instrumentation with Niko's distinctive songwriting style. Dedicated to her grandparents, who have been her constant champions, the EP features singles “Besito” and “Sirena,” which reflect her personal journey and storytelling prowess. Mar y Tierra is about the struggle between the dreamer and the realist, the land and the sea, the real Niko and the character she portrays through her art. Described simply as ‘ranchero-chic’, the EP blends together traditional Mexican instrumentation with Niko’s signature songwriting and carefully curated visuals from a remarkable team of Latina creatives.
