From Buenos Aires to Mexico City, EQUAL Days Bring Latin America Together for Women in Audio

This year, Spotify celebrates the five-year anniversary of EQUAL, our global program dedicated to advancing equity for women in audio. We recently marked the milestone by launching EQUAL: The Podcast, creating an intimate space for women artists to share their stories.

In Latin America, the anniversary has taken shape as a unified regional movement, with Spotify hosting on-the-ground events that brought together artists and industry leaders to forge connections and spark conversations about the future of women in music. The celebration also included the release of Chilean-Mexican artist Mon Laferte's Spotify Session, the first to be produced entirely by women.

EQUAL has already made a significant impact across the region, supporting more than 200 ambassadors who have collectively generated over 17 billion editorial playlist streams. From Mexico's Julieta Venegas to Argentina's Mar a Becerra, Colombia's ARIA VEGA to Brazil's Julia Mestre, the program continues to amplify women artists, songwriters, and producers driving Latin music forward.

Here's a look at how EQUAL Day events unfolded across Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, and Brazil this March.

Argentina In Buenos Aires, EQUAL took over Casa Spotify for a two-day event that brought together nearly 800 women from across the industry. Highlights included a standout panel featuring Argentine pop star Lali alongside EQUAL ambassadors BLAIR and BB ASUL, live performances from BLAIR and Yami Safdie, a financial empowerment session led by Sabri Castelli of Mujer Financiera, and a live taping with the creators of the En Teor a podcast.

In partnership with the digital outlet HISPA, Spotify also captured exclusive interviews with Yami, BLAIR, and BB ASUL to further amplify their voices.
