“I’ve always tried not to align myself with the things that tell me those are the things I’m worth for., but it is difficult. Much more now that we are governed by social networks, by beauty or socio-cultural standards or so many things. And we paid so much attention to that that we forgot other things that are very precious to me and that come from our ancestral cultures, our families, our skin color.. We have other important things that we forget“, he mentioned.

That is why Break up with everything In the words of the rapper, this could translate into a sense of courage that seeks to express, from love, a way to end the impositions and stereotypes that have oppressed women for many generations.

“I come from a generation of the 80s, 90s, where it was very important to be thin. For me, it was a problem, because I definitely do not agree with these standards of beauty, I don’t think I should see myself as someone elsebut I realize that it cost me dearly to get rid of it,” he condemned and added:

“I know that I have to have a loving and positive view of respecting my body, which is already perfect, but it was always something that I learned from my mother, my grandmother, who were always on a diet. Luckily the newer generations have assimilated it in a different way and although they also suffer from those things but less than mine and I feel like that’s one of the things that I have brought, to say one among many others”.

The famous has advanced for this medium that her next song – which will be released on March 2 – will be called Cardoon, name that alludes to an indigenous instrument and very characteristic of the cumbia bagpipe.

“It’s kind of a spell, a blessing that says, ‘With all the power of my heart that women can walk anywhere feeling safe, caring for us and feeling protected by us. and more women’ So that’s the cardón. Musically, the cardón is very attached to bagpipe music, however, in the lyrics it’s pure rap. So it’s a very interesting fusion, a fusion that definitely gets you moving with earth sounds, very tribal.“, he expressed.

Finally, Ximbo gave a little thought about its next participation in the Long Live Latino 2023, where she will take to one of the stages as a guest of the QBO group and reflect on female representation in these types of massive events.

“I think more and more Vive Latino groups are focusing on the fact that when they don’t have female members in the groups, they invite women and I think that’s a point that needs to be made. underlined and appreciated, because it means there is a lot more awarenessoh, if there is a gender gap at festivals in this country, now a lot of men are realizing it,” he concluded.
