LGBTI Resistances

Santiago, Chile

SIEMPRE BARLE

Siempre Barle is a lesbian artist who is a passionate creator and fan of all urban rhythms and self-produced music, which strays from the canons of the commercial music industry. Since 2018 she has been exploring reggeaton, trap and rap rhythms, always seeking to convey critique of the system, but also to create songs that allow us to celebrate our struggle from our own realities. She published her first songs with the label La Peluquería Récords and included Chilean sign language in her videos and performances.

Una Típica Francisca

Singer, barber and photographer Francisca Cuevas is one of the artists behind La Peluquería Records, a recording and music production studio that ‘launched in early 2018 with the aim of generating a welcoming safe space for the creation of danceable music for women and dissidents.’

She started out with boleros and covers and then slowly shifted to reggaeton. Her latest single, GataBata, is available as a music video featuring La Casa del Perreo (The House of Perreo) and her football team Las Vaginas Silvestres (The Wild Vaginas). An acoustic version is also available.

Manifiesto - Alex Anwandter (Chile)

I think that in Chile and other parts of Latin America, especially until the 60s, there was a tradition of artists connecting with the social. A tradition of Latin American song that was lost, but many of our great musical heroes, at least in Chile, Argentina or Brazil, are part of that tradition. It is a very nice exercise for me to reconnect with that which is also ours (Alex Anwandter in Interview for Signos FM).
