An advocate for trans rights, she identifies as a feminist, speaks openly about privilege and works to challenge dominant social narratives. In 2018, she launched the first Latin American podcast dedicated to stories from the trans community. A year later, she released her second album, Mataronomatar, while her most recent record, Weyes (2024), received praise from outlets including Rolling Stone, Remezcla, KEXP and El Pa\u00eds. That same year, she performed at Mexico\u2019s Bahidor\u00e1 festival alongside Damon Albarn and Africa Express, a collaboration that also captivated audiences at Slovakia\u2019s Pohoda festival in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Luisa Almaguer \u2011 \u2018\u2019Wey\u2018\u2019 Lyric video\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/T71GSWzhJks?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reflecting on the experience in an interview with Full Moon magazine, Almaguer described it as a life-changing opportunity to work with artists from around the world and discover music as a truly universal language. She continues to collaborate with Albarn while also pursuing ambitions in filmmaking. Making her Czech debut at Colours of Ostrava with her own band, she will bring a powerful blend of folk, shoegaze, grunge and hyperpop, creating a performance that is as urgent as it is uplifting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Damon Albarn changed her life \u2013 now she\u2019s changing others\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":12120,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":[],"program-year":[456],"program-category":[120],"program-genre":[329,335,180],"program-country":[506],"class_list":["post-12122","program","type-program","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","program-category-music-programme","program-genre-alternative-en","program-genre-folk-en","program-genre-pop-en","program-country-mexiko-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.3.1 -
