The Braided Janes are one of the best Latin alternative bands in Chicago. Their song “Mi Canto” was written during one of the band’s many improv sessions and mixes eclectic global sounds with Rodriguez’s powerful vocals and a sexy electronica beat. It’s a bold and genre-bending statement.

STREAM IT NOW 💋🎶🔗

After a year of touring across the U.S we took a break to work on our new album and are thrilled to share “Bésame” our fist new single and music video. If it moves you please share and add it to your favorite playlist.

“Bésame” is the first single from The Braided Janes forthcoming album, which is set to be released in 2025. It is also the first song they have recorded and co-produced entirely in their home studio in Chicago. Grammy-nominated audio engineer and award-winning radio producer Jeanne Montalvo lent her refined expertise and valuable support to the production and Margret Luthar perfectly mastered the song, making this the band’s first release fully spearheaded by women.

The band would like to give a very special thank you to Jeanne Montalvo and and Margret Luthar for their incredible support as well as Annette Uriostegui, Natalia Mayorga and David Aldape for helping record parts of the footage for the video which were paired with J&J’s home videos, thank you for capturing the love!

In 2023 The Braided Janes embarked on their first tour "Corazón Migrante U.S Tour 2023" with performances in over a dozen cities throughout the U.S. alongside an incredible visual display of art, featuring 40 paintings of various mediums, two paper mâché sculptures, and a fashion show, all created by the CORAZÓN MIGRANTE collective of multidisciplinary artists in partnership with the SRE and participating Mexican Consulates with the goal of highlighting the vibrancy found within the Mexican migrant community.

We want to extend a special thank you to Patricia Gomez, Yvonne Sanchez and the team at "Adelante" Milwaukee PBS for featuring our story.
