LGBTI Resistances

Quibó, Colombia

"Who am I? I am an Afro-Colombian person, one. I am a lesbian woman, two. I am a woman, three. I am a woman in the middle of music, four." (Source 1)

In a career spanning over a decade, with three studio albums, the artist has written about her reality, her demons, her heartbreaks, her joys, and her struggles—in addition to raising her voice against racial injustices and for the rights of LGBTQ+ people.

Precisely this talent for songwriting, producing, and performing has earned her a special place in the music industry, winning a Latin Grammy and conquering both national stages, such as Estéreo Picnic and Colombia al Parque, and international ones like the Glastonbury Festival in the United Kingdom, SXSW in the United States, and Vive Latino in Mexico... One of the most prominent representatives of Colombia's contemporary sound. (Source 2)
