MAMM (Plazoleta)
Aldo Villegas (Mexico), known as Bocafloja, is an interdisciplinary artist and curator who, in his work, tackles themes such as critical race theory, the Global South, coloniality and the African diaspora in Latin America. His work offers an immersive experience in which experiments with words come together with the urban rhythms of rap. This Mexican poet and rapper is known for his use of hip hop as a tool for raising social awareness in Latin America, tackling themes such as systemic racism, colonialism and oppression. We will hear from this artist, now in his third decade making music, and who has been a member of groups such as Lifestyle and Microphonk. He has also made influential albums as a soloist, and has been included on Rolling Stone and Billboard lists of the 50 most important artists in the history of Spanish-language hip hop. He has published a book, Del mondongo al ojalá. He will talk about his musical career and intercession in literature with Juan Mosquera, followed by a concert.
