Two-time Latin GRAMMY award-winning singer-songwriter and 2023 GRAMMY nominee CHIQUIS, surprised fans releasing a 2022 Mariachi version of the her first single ever, “Paloma Blanca” which was originally released as a banda track in 2014. Produced by Cindy Shea, Ulises Lozano El Licenciado, and Janney Marin (Chiquis), written by Janney Marin (Chiquis) and Claudia Brant, and accompanied by the all-female,Mariachi Divas; the new “Paloma Blanca,” underscores Chiquis’ evolution as a singer. 

“When ‘Paloma Blanca’ was originally released, I wasn’t entirely happy with the way it was recorded. I have always wanted to re-release it. My vocals and delivery have greatly evolved over these last eight years and I feel better than ever about my music so I decided to record it alongside Mariachi Divas. It will always be dedicated to my mom who passed away ten years ago but I also wanted to re-record it for her fans as well as mine,”expressed Chiquis. 

The gorgeous video for “Paloma Blanca” featuring an ethereal performance of Chiquis dressed in white was produced and directed by Oscar Eden and shot at JK Media Studios in North Hollywood, CA.
