Check out the third episode of Madame Talk Europe, the podcast that raises the visibility of queer and female rap artists in Europe!
In this third episode, we talk a look at the situation in Spain.
No data is available on the number of women active in Spanish rap. As for Madame Rap, it currently lists 143 female and LGBTQIA+ rappers in Spain and 350 in Mexico, Central and South America .
This lack of statistics raises several questions. Why are there no official studies or figures on these artists, and what role do they play on the Spanish rap scene? What is the responsibility of each industry player in this invisibilization? What solutions can be implemented to make them (re)known and accessible to the general public?
To understand the challenges and obstacles faced by these artists, we discussed with Masta Quba, a Mexican rapper based in Catalonia who defines herself as “MC and educator” and Helena Bricio and Lara Alcázar from MIM, an association that works for gender equality between women and men in the music industry.
Madame Talk Europe is available on all listening platforms and in 6 languages: listen here.
Produced by Madame Rap and supported by the European Union via LIVEMX.
