Maruja breaks the mold with an explosive fusion of punk, free jazz, and rap. On stage, their energy is almost mystical, blending fury and communion. Their debut album, Pain to Power, attempts to capture this raw intensity, forged through improvisation and emotion. Influenced by world events—from Trump to Gaza—the members translate collective anxiety into a musical cry. The album navigates between pain and hope, structured like a concert: build-up, chaos, then rebirth. Driven by a deep spirituality, the songs tackle mental health, resistance, and solidarity. The saxophone becomes a lament, the drums an outlet, the voice an incantation. Political without slogans, Maruja advocates for inner rebellion and collective strength. The band draws liberating energy from its Celtic roots and strong friendships. On stage, they let go, abandon themselves, and remind us that music can still heal, unite, and change minds.
