Las Marias, made up of twins Maria Isabel and Maria Teresa, were all set to take on 'American Song Contest' and tell the world their story. The twins began their musical journey by performing at their family restaurant. This soon evolved into them performing mariachi and traditional music. However, when their parents were deported to Mexico, the twins regularly crossed the border, with their lives split across Mexico and Arizona. They were often checked for drugs while on their way to school. Through their music, they hoped to reach out to the families going through similar experiences, or who've suffered in the same manner. 

Las Marias performed 'De La Finikera' and had the audience smitten. However, their low jury ranking shocked fans online. "Nevada is still my favorite as a song but Arizona touched me more. I need so badly for both songs to advance! #AmericanSongContest" tweeted a fan. "Juries tanked Arizona they will not see Heaven #AmericanSongContest" added a fan. "Arizona so low in the jury i hate it here  #americansongcontest" added a fan. "This jury needs to diversify their listening habits. I'm so tired of the jury selection every week being the same guy in different fonts #AmericanSongContest" stated another. "Jury once again doing it dirty with Arizona. Pleasantly surprised to see WV slotted right behind Crystal Method though #AmericanSongContest" added a fan. "WHOA WHAT IS THE JURY EVEN DOING ?! NO WAY ARIZONA IS THAT LOW #AmericanSongContest" tweeted another. "JURY PUT ARIZONA THAT LOW?! Are you actually kidding me. That's been the best song this entire competition #AmericanSongContest" argued another.
