Chiquis aligns chakras, stands up for immigrants in 'Flores En Mi Alma'

Chiquis , música Mexicana’s self-proclaimed “Abeja Reina,” is back with a new album released Thursday, “ Flores En Mi Alma.”

The three-time Latin Grammy winner and eldest daughter of música Mexicana royalty Jenni Rivera, Chiquis finds a common ground between meditation and protest.

Between morning affirmations and a guided mediation track called “Soy Luz,” Chiquis sheds light on the country’s ongoing immigration crisis — and says that she won’t be silenced. On songs like “Pa’ Mi Gente,” she tells the stories of immigrant workers and expresses their importance over the resounding guiros of cumbia folclórica.
