ENGLISH
María Loreto Ramírez Morales was born in Temuco, in southern Chile—a land of deep cultural roots where her love for music also began to blossom. Before arriving in the United States in 2004, she traveled through various South American countries—including her native Chile, as well as Peru, Bolivia, and Argentina—singing and sharing her art.
She studied Hospitality and Tourism and earned a diploma in event production. In the United States, she has worked in hotels, restaurants, and social clubs—among them the renowned Pacific Union Club where she held a key position. From this role, she also mentored and supported workers from diverse communities including Latino, Asian, and others—serving as both a guide and a coach. In 155 years, Maria has been the only Latina at the Pacific Union Club.
In 2006, together with other musicians, she founded Los Materos, a group dedicated to Chilean and Latin American music, thereby keeping her cultural roots alive through art.
Years ago, María Loreto sang at the Brava's main theater as part of the Encuentro del Canto Popular.
A mother of two and an independent woman, María has built her life balancing work, motherhood, and the music that has inhabited her soul for as long as she can remember. Her story is that of a migrant woman who has never ceased to champion art and singing as an essential part of her life's journey.
ABOUT INDÓMITAS
Indómitas is a live podcast series hosted by Chelis López of KPOO and Radio Bilingüe, featuring interviews with fierce women artists and activists
Each month in Brava’s Cabaret, Indómitas will interview female singers, writers, poets, activists, artists, journalists, filmmakers, and others – some well-known and some deserving to be – for live broadcast. These 60-minute conversations will cover the women’s stories of achievement, pitfalls, and hopes for their futures.
Be ready for open and honest conversations, where intimacy fosters the sharing of joy, fear, acceptance, and ultimately, the strength of women. It’s our time to be the ones who narrate our stories of who we are, what we do, what matters to us and how we organized and stand up for our rights.
Indómitas Podcast Series will be available through Chelis López’ website, and other platforms.
