María Becerra Talks Creativity, Miami’s Vibe, Her Argentine Culture & a Taste of Home | Billboard
In partnership with Billboard and DoorDash, the Argentinian singer solves her cravings for home by cooking vegetarian guiso and highlights how, through food and culture, music has no boundaries.
MarÍa Becerra:
I have always felt that there is a world full of opportunities. Starting the journey toward new horizons makes me feel like I can discover new sides of myself, both as an artist and as a person. When you stay in your comfort zone, it’s like you hit a ceiling, and at some point, it becomes necessary to go where things are happening. I believe Miami is essential for me, not only on a personal level but also professionally. I feel like it has allowed me to improve significantly. I have created most of my songs in Miami. Overall, it is a place that inspires me a lot. Traditional food holds a very special place in my heart. Every dish I cook, I enjoy it. It connects me to my roots and reminds me where I come from. Even when I’m far from home, the flavors and recipes always keep me connected to my culture and my family. I always order groceries through DoorDash because they have all the ingredients I need to make my Argentine recipes. The stew. The asado, which is also something really iconic in Argentina, and the milanesas. I’m a big fan of tortas fritas. When you’re having a bad day, it’s raining or whatever, and some tortas fritas make everything better. It really reminds me of my childhood. I truly believe there is an important connection between food and the creative process. For example, mate is a must during studio sessions, and sharing a meal while enjoying mate is key for me in my connection to food.
