Ruidosa (which means to “rumble”, “make noise”, or “roar” in the Spanish female form) is the first fully female-led music festival throughout Latin America. It is also a transfeminist, interdisciplinary, inclusive, intergenerational community and platform that celebrates the projects of female, female identified and dissident voices in the Latin American music industry and creative disciplines. In addition to festivals, Ruidosa does this through workshops, conversation panels, podcasts, as well as research. Always reminding us the importance of owning your own voice, staying true to yourself and creating the path that is right for you. This year, Ruidosa is doing a one-day takeover event—featuring artists from across the Latin diaspora, including iLE, Buscabulla, Francisca Valenzuela, Salt Cathedral, Renee Goust, Khylie Rylo, Riobamba, Mireya Ramos, Ali Stone, Nella, Bruses, and Bebel Gilberto—conjoining both organizations' visions of vital collaborative space. This will be a full day of live music, music industry panels, and a late-night silent disco as we enact social and cultural transformation and embrace the empowerment of women in creative industries, all through a Latine lens.
