Hello,

Hello,

Hello, Latino USA listener.

I lesbao a show of Los Archivos.

From Futuro Media and PRX, it's Latino USA.

I'm Maria Inujosa. Today, the tiaras, a musical group of

sisters singing about Latina empowerment, self-love, and politics. The tiaras have been

playing together since they were just little girls.

They travel around Texas and perform at different gigs to try to get their name out there.

The trio of sisters would walk onto a stage, start playing, but they weren't always taken very seriously.

It was pretty hard because we were young and we were in a music scene that was

catered towards men. We were playing a lot of different gigs. The lineups would be predominantly

men. We would get a lot of different looks when we were on stage. That's 20-year-old Tori. She's

the lead singer of the band. It was hard to find that niche of Latinas and music,

so we felt like we had to be that for ourselves. We've made it here and we're just so proud of

ourselves and we want to inspire those other younger musicians and especially Latinas

that are finding themselves in that place.

That same passion and drive for owning who they are and creating music is also shared with her two other sisters. Here's 22-year-old Sophia, the band's drummer. I don't know. I just feel

like beats inside of me just come naturally.

When I hear a song, when we're making songs, something just clicks in me.

Honestly, I don't know how to describe it.

And older sister, 24-year-old Tiffany.
