Mon Laferte and Francisca Valenzuela are both Chilean singer-songwriters using their platforms to draw attention to important issues while creating meaningful change. From Mon walking a red carpet in 2019 at the Latin Grammys, bare-breasted, with words calling out femicide, to Francisca’s founding of Ruidosafest, the all-Latina music festival and research platform, the two women are working hard to change the game.  In today’s episode of Latino USA, we speak to both of them about feminism, their music, and how the ghosts of Chile’s musical past guide them to keep pushing for change.   Latino USA is the longest-running news and culture radio program in the U.S., centering Latino stories and hosted by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Maria Hinojosa.

La cantautora chilena Mon Laferte es una máquina en la industria musical como activista, artista y feminista. Creció con sus héroes musicales chilenos guiándola, como Violeta Parra y Víctor Jara. Entonces, no es sorpresa que ella también siga sus pasos, trabajando por un mundo más justo para todos. Su nuevo álbum, titulado “Femme Fatale Vol. 2”, ya está disponible. Es una colección de 20 canciones sobre el amor, de esos amores que ya hay que dejar ir. También hay una canción sobre la industria musical.  En este episodio especial de Latino USA en español hablamos con Mon Laferte sobre el feminismo, su nuevo álbum y lo que la inspira en su activismo. ¿Quieres apoyar nuestro periodismo independiente? Únete a Futuro+ para acceder a episodios exclusivos, adelantos y chisme detrás de cámaras sobre Latino USA y todos nuestros pódcasts.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Oscar and Emmy-nominated actress Rosie Perez takes us on the journey of the birth of salsa in Nueva York and the rebellious, seductive and political label that defined it: Fania Records. The 1960s brings social and political change to the world and to New York City, where a young Johnny Pacheco keeps people dancing with his orchestra and charanga music. The Dominican musician is also going through a divorce and his lawyer, Jerry Masucci, happens to be a fan of Johnny’s music. They formed Fania Records, changing music forever.
