LGBTI Resistances
Santiago, Chile
Quediostesalve
Quediostesalve was born in 2020, just a few months after the Chilean social uprising. With the passions that this milestone unleashed in the streets and the rebellious air blowing as it rarely had in the country, Mora embraced her need to explode as well, to scream, to enjoy, and to show herself with her lights and shadows.
María is a conceptual album inspired by certain biblical stories. Its nine songs -interspersed with interludes- provide a queer and anti-patriarchal perspective of religion through stories in which women and dissidents are the protagonists. In this way, the album proposes a resignification of their presents and futures and delivers a rebellious and utopian imaginary that is musically strengthened with influences ranging from Radiohead, through Björk and My Chemical Romance, to Miranda! and Shakira.

Malú Mora
Singer and songwriter María de la Luz Mora emerged on the late 2010s pop scene with a handful of songs like "Desamor" and "Amor lunático," pieces that define her musical approach as pop with folk undertones. Born in Santiago but raised in Temuco, she returned to the capital at age 18 to study music. During that period, she performed on various small stages armed with a guitar and ukulele, showcasing those early creations. Under the stage name Malú Mora, she released her first solo album in 2018 titled Romperé, a decisive songwriting effort where she expanded her solo compositions with the support of a pop-rock band. The album was produced by Paulo Ugarte.

Lulú Jam!
With their first album "Corazón Caliente," the Chilean group made its way onto every dance floor in the country. "Bombombéame" was their debut single, where they made it clear they were not going to follow any established patterns.
Later, other hits followed, such as "Si quiero te lo doy" and "Chocolate Bom." Both resonated within the national musical landscape, taking the first steps of the national electropop movement, for which they were nominated at the MTV Latin Music Awards for Best New Artist.
