IT'S TLALLI ROOTS
Tijuana-born Lilia Margarita, the creative force behind Tlalli Roots, immersed in music from an early age, influenced by Rancheras and Mexican Folk Songs. Her musical journey includes a brief stint in classical piano lessons, a high school marching band phase, and a transformative encounter with The Beatles.
Post-high school, Lilia delved into Roots Reggae Music, performing with The I-Ways until 2015, when she ventured into her solo project, Tlalli Roots. Starting as an all-female reggae band, the group evolved, sharing stages with icons like Gondwana and Alika. In 2017, Tlalli Roots underwent a final metamorphosis, with Lilia taking the reins as the sole frontwoman.
After a three-year hiatus, Tlalli Roots burst back onto the scene in December 2019 with the debut single "Elegire," produced by Dylan Keawe and accompanied by a mesmerizing music video from Velvet Vices. The summer of 2021 witnessed the release of a 5-song debut EP, and now, in the studio crafting her first full-length EP, Tlalli Roots is a musical force destined to endure. The saga continues, and the rhythm of Tlalli Roots is here to stay. 🎶
