NYT highlights Francisca Valenzuela and Ruidosa Fest ahead of its first US version

The diary New York Times He highlighted Francisca Valenzuela and Ruidosa Fest in the preview of its first version in the United States.

“One of the things we say all the time in Ruidosa is that there is no one way to be a woman. There is no one way to be successful or to identify as Latina,” said Valenzuela, founder of the event, in an interview with the newspaper on the occasion of the festival’s debut this Saturday in the Big Apple.

In the North American media outlet’s post, titled “Gloriously Noisy Latinas Are Coming to Lincoln Center,” Valenzuela also refers to her Latin inspirations and what was the initial trigger that led her to create the festival not only as an event, but as a means of exchange and community with her colleagues and peer artists.

“I felt alone in music and I didn’t understand how other colleagues and friends, who I really admire in music, were building their careers,” she says in the note, which also details the lineup of guests and the activities to be held. For Valenzuela, finally, “Ruidosa has injected me with a lot of energy, love and connection,” she concluded in the NYT.

For the first time, as part of Lincoln Center’s summer activities, this Saturday, August 10, Ruidosa Fest will showcase an unprecedented lineup and a transformative day for the voices and vision of Latina women.

It will close the activities of Lincoln Center’s Summer for the City series and will be free for those who attend.

Created in Chile by Francisca Valenzuela in 2016, Ruidosa is the first music festival led entirely by women in all of Latin America. It is also a transfeminist, interdisciplinary, inclusive and intergenerational community and platform that celebrates the projects of female, feminine-identified and dissident voices in the music industry and in Latin American creative disciplines.

In addition to festivals, Ruidosa works through workshops, panel discussions, podcasts, as well as research.
