Maya Jupiter – Maya Jupiter
In December 2010, Jupiter released her second album, Maya Jupiter with Blacc assisting on recording and Quetzal Flores and Martha Gonzalez (both are members of Quetzal) co-producing. OC Weekly‘s reviewer, Gabriel San Roman described the album as “an innovative collection of songs anchored in lyrical themes of social justice and son jarocho vibes” and was pleased by “[t]he sample-free, original instrumentation [which] adds to her music’s unique appeal. A Latin American harp, requintos, jaranas, electric guitars, trumpets and keys round out her melodies, and there’s a striking use of live percussion instruments such as the quijada, cajón, tarima and pandiero instead of MPC drum beats”.
