This is how today’s artists react to feminist lyrics written almost a century ago: “How strong! I love it”

At laSexta we have carried out an experiment. We wanted to see how today’s feminist artists react to lyrics written almost a century ago. “How strong! I love it,” said Julia Tabernero, a member of the Tremenda Jauría band. were the feminist and brave lyrics of the 30s those that opened a path that, without being easy, has managed to reach our days. Now, groups like Mafalda or Tremenda Jauría claim equality from their songs. And it is that before the macho lyrics of some reggaeton, another urban music is possible.

The lyrics of Tremenda Jauría are authentic anthems of the 8M and her music is a plea to feminism. “We are a band in which there are girls not only on stage, but also below”, points out Julia Tabernero, a member of the musical group, to which she adds: “With the feminist strikes that have brought millions of women to the streets in the previous years, feminisms have reached the music industry“.

Precisely, the Mafalda group has already denounced the masculinized industry in the documentary ‘The Missing Ones’. Now, on his new album, advocate for an inclusive language also represent the reality of one of its memberswho does not identify as masculine or feminine: “I am a non-binary person; we think that inclusive language, with the ‘e’ is absolutely necessary,” says Mire.

These dissidences already appeared decades ago. “If they see two women, it is said that the world is upside down”, sang Concha Piquer in 1933, at which time the artist reflected a love between two women in a couplet: “I want to love freely because I was born a woman”defended.

“It has a very broad and close relationship with the LGBT community since they spoke, for example, of loves that were necessarily clandestine…”, underlines Lidia García, researcher and author of ‘¡Ay, bell ringers!’ In this way, the objective of feminist artists of yesterday and today is the himself: to defend equality.
