Gerina is a BMI Award-winning songwriter, who recently stepped out into the spotlight as a solo artist, releasing her own original material. Her multicultural upbringing in both Venezuela and the United States, as well as being multi-lingual — she’s fluent in Spanish, Italian and English — helps to inform her songs with heart and passion, while being anchored in unique storytelling.

Her latest single, the Gerina and Tim Mitchell co-written “Arrepentido,” is a passionate and winning synthesis of classic flamenco rhythms with hook-driven contemporary pop that immediately brings Shakira to mind — but while bursting out of the gate with a defiant, feminist self-assuredness.

Gerina explains that “‘Arrepentido” is a passionate and empowering flamenco anthem that urges women to free themselves from the chains of toxic relationships.” She adds “. . . it serves as a call to women everywhere to rise up, reclaim, and never look back.”

The accompanying video seems inspired by films like Desperado and Kill Bill and features Gerina and a collection of ninja-dressed dancers performing martial arts-inspired dance moves in the desert.
