Alborotá, is the latest single by Colombian singer-songwriter, Alea. This fine feminist declaration celebrates each being that identifies as a womxn. The word "alborotá", which means rowdy and which is often used as a negative put down, is redefined in Alea's song to signify empowerment. 

​

Alborotá describes Alea’s story, as well as that of thousands of womxn that have had to conform themselves to roles and expectations imposed on them by society. However, liberation occurs for these womxn when they finally break the silence on issues like identity, sexual abuse, and inequality.

​

When discussing her song, the talented singer-songwriter says,

 

“Being an Alborotá is an act of courage that transcends gender; it is being true to who you are and fighting for your dreams and beliefs in spite of what people have to say." 

​

The song, which is a tropical cumbia charm with a twist of odd meters, is an original composition by Alea under the production of Sinuhé Padilla Isunza at Jarana Records, in the Bronx, NY.  The empowering tune features violín extraordinaire, Luisa Bastidas, winner of a Latin Grammy for her participation in the album  Las Caras Lindas by the all-female mariachi Flor de Toloache.
