An outspoken advocate for trans rights, she identifies with feminism, speaks openly about privilege and works to reshape dominant social narratives. In 2018, she launched the first Latin American podcast focused on the life stories of the trans community. A year later, she released her second album Mataronomatar; her latest record, Weyes (2024), received praise from outlets such as Rolling Stone, Remezcla, KEXP and El Pa\u00eds. That same year, she performed at Bahidor\u00e1 festival alongside Damon Albarn and his Africa Express project \u2013 a line-up that visitors of last year\u2019s Pohoda festival described as one of the highlights of the entire event.<\/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>\u201cFor me, it was an immense school, a kind of university \u2013 the chance to work with so many artists from all over the world, speaking different languages. We had to communicate through music. It may sound like a clich\u00e9, but when you experience it, you quickly realise how universal and truly special a language music is,\u201d she told Full Moon magazine about the collaboration that marked a turning point in her life. She continues to rehearse with Albarn while also nurturing ambitions as a filmmaker. Luisa Almaguer will perform in her Czech premiere at Colours of Ostrava with her own band, bringing a blend of folk, shoegaze, grunge and hyperpop \u2013 a performance that promises to be both urgent and uplifting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/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 -
