Mariannah y Diego - Mi Corazón

Mi Corazón by Mariannah y Diego

Mariannah and Diego (MYD) is a Christian music duo with an electro-pop music style featuring rhythms known as “chill-wave,” “tropical house,” and EDM. MYD members include Mariannah Aguilera (voices, guitars, and keyboards) from Havana, Cuba, and Diego Archer (programming, composition, guitars, and keyboards) from Dallas, Texas. They met in 2016 on a mission trip and have been friends since. The duo was officially born on February 14, 2020, with immediate success. They write music from a distance, with Diego performing and arranging all instruments in Dallas; and Mariannah recording main vocals in Havana. Once recorded, the songs are mixed in Spain and mastered in England. They publish through American distributors and have been quite successful in Latin America. They also host a radio show called “Reaction Juvenil,” featured on two stations: Panama City, Panama, and another in Quito, Ecuador. Their ministry consists of bringing God’s word to Spanish-speaking youth and being a testimony of His love on earth.

“Mi Corazón” is one of 2020’s most popular releases by Mariannah y Diego. The song showcases the last moments of someone’s life — a fulfilling life lived with purpose and compassion, although bittersweet since friends and family will still suffer. The song encourages each listener to be grateful, have peace and live their best life with purpose, as God will bring a new beginning.

Although the song was written in early 2020 and is about a cancer patient passing away, , the song has been well received by many of our followers, likely due to the pandemic. They’ve written us about how it brings them hope and peace — especially when thinking of loved ones who have contracted the Coronavirus and have been left alone to pass away.

Our sound is considered chill-wave, which is a combination of electronic sounds and real instruments, along with modern beats. Our music is meant to touch people’s emotions, whether it’s happy, sad, excited, inspirational, etc.

Mariannah is a worship leader at her church in Cuba, El Calvario. Her main influences are Tori Kelly and Tauren Wells. She also loves worship bands like Bethel Music, Hillsong United, Elevation Worship and Switch.

Diego congregates at Hillsong Dallas. His main influences are Hillsong United and Hillsong Young & Free, and he is also inspired by the music of Kygo, The Naked and The Famous, Peter Gabriel and Chvrches.

First, as a principle, we make sure that the melody and lyrics take the center stage of every song. Also, all lyrics should carry a positive, inspirational message. As for composing, Diego writes the music and melody inspired by his surroundings and both band members’ stories. We sit down and have purpose-of-life discussions so we can center on themes and ideas about world events, personal experiences, and theological principles. Diego will write the music in a melody and arrangement that fits the theme. Mariannah will pitch in with base lines or chord progressions. Then, we both take turns writing lyrics until we’re happy with the result. After recording, we work on the mix to make sure it follows the same musical theme we had in mind.

Diego does produces most of the songs; however, Jonatan Rojas, from Spain mixes the final product, along with Diego.

Yes. This song is part of a compilation of songs that have been already released. All of them will be bundled together in the album “Comienzo,” which debuts in late October. The second album is being recorded, as well.

We haven’t been able to perform live just yet, as the band started right before the pandemic. However. once we are able to, we would like to perform in Dallas, Texas (home of Diego), Havana, Cuba (home of Mariannah), Colombia, Ecuador, Puerto Rico and Panama.

¿Who would you like to collaborate with?
Juan Carlos Rosa, Alex Zurdo and Shammai from Puerto Rico. Also, with Hillsong Worship, Tauren Wells and Tori Kelly if possible.

Mariannah loves the new Tauren Wells album, as it’s energetic and lifts her mood. Tori Kelly’s gospel sound is Mariannah’s bread and butter. She enjoys listening to the heart Tori adds to each song, and her improvisation style is out of this world. Diego is currently listening to Hillsong Young & Free, Kygo and The Naked and The Famous’ latest albums. Their compositions are quite inspirational.; in particular, those that touch on issues about relationships with the world and how to find peace.

Yes. Social media makes it easy to show fans what are we’re doing and upcoming projects; plus, we get to do live streamings and interact with fans directly. This makes it so much more personable.

Mariannah y Diego is humbled by your support. Being from two different countries has been challenging, but not impossible. We only want to worship and bring light to this world with the hope of the Gospel. We can’t thank you enough for all that you do.
