They have known each other for several years and had shared the stage before. However, it is not until 2024 that they decided to record this beautiful, unreleased song together, titled “Mi Rey, Mi Santo,” written by Ana Bárbara and produced by Junior.

“Mi Rey, Mi Santo” will have an exclusive premiere at the BBWIM on June 8 and will be available on all digital platforms starting June 20.

“It is very important for me to have a song by Ana and sung as a duet with Ana in my repertoire because it becomes part of my life, part of my musical history, and she is a woman I admire greatly… Music is therapy. When you see people crying or pouring out their emotions at concerts, and you see them release so many feelings, it’s beautiful. Every time I go to a concert, I return to my room drained, happy, and full of those emotions. ‘Mi Rey, Mi Santo’ is a liberating, beautiful song!” – María José.

“This song is for all the women who have experienced a situation where the pain feels like it’s stuck in their chest and heart… It’s incredible how songs can provide that calming and liberating magic… this song is very liberating. I loved singing it with María José!” – Ana Bárbara.
