En Am rica Latina, las mujeres est n moldeando la m sica y definiendo su futuro. Para dar inicio a las celebraciones por el quinto aniversario de EQUAL en la regi n, el programa global de Spotify que impulsa a las mujeres en el audio, presentamos una nueva Spotify Session protagonizada por la artista chileno-mexicana Mon Laferte.
Marcando un hito dentro del formato Spotify Sessions, Mon asume un doble rol como artista y directora musical, liderando un ensamble conformado exclusivamente por mujeres bajo la direcci n visual de la reconocida cineasta Magaly Ugarte. La presentaci n encarna lo que representa EQUAL en 2026: celebrar a las mujeres en roles de liderazgo y en la toma de decisiones creativas en toda la industria.
Un paisaje sonoro cinematogr fico Esta Spotify Session se concibe como una experiencia cinematogr fica inspirada en el cl sico film noir. Mon lidera un ensamble de jazz vestido con elegante formalidad, mientras Magaly construye una atm sfera de luces, sombras y texturas que profundiza la carga emocional de cada interpretaci n.
Con un equipo conformado ntegramente por mujeres, desde las m sicas hasta la producci n y la direcci n creativa, la sesi n potencia su talento e impacto en cada capa del proceso creativo, convirti ndose en una declaraci n art stica tanto sonora como visual.
Fue hermoso trabajar con un equipo completamente femenino , dijo Mon. La energ a cambia por completo: hay m s equilibrio y una sensibilidad distinta en el set. Cuando empec en la m sica, hab a muy pocas mujeres en estos roles. Ver ese cambio ahora se siente poderoso .
En esta sesi n, Mon reimagina sus canciones Femme Fatale, Otra Noche de Llorar, Veracruz, 1:30, y Melancol a a trav s de arreglos con influencias de jazz. La puesta en escena evoluciona con luces ntimas, visuales LED inmersivos y una atm sfera cuidadosamente coreografiada que difumina la l nea entre concierto y pieza de arte visual.
Cuando me invitaron a crear esta sesi n, sent que era la oportunidad perfecta para hacer algo distinto, para no tocar las canciones exactamente como son , coment . Estar en este universo jazz nos permiti improvisar y dejar que la m sica respirara de una forma nueva. Me gust tanto que incluso me dieron ganas de llevarme a esta banda de gira .
El resultado final refleja la filosof a art stica de Mon: autonom a, profundidad y excelencia creativa. Y a medida que EQUAL evoluciona hacia un movimiento regional unificado en 2026, la sesi n se ala un futuro para Am rica Latina ambicioso en escala, colaborativo en esp ritu y profundamente conectado con la cultura.
Cinco a os de EQUAL: un nuevo cap tulo regional Este lanzamiento llega en un momento clave. A cinco a os de su creaci n, EQUAL ha apoyado a m s de 1,400 mujeres artistas en m s de 40 mercados, generando m s de 1.5 mil millones de streams editoriales en todo el mundo. En promedio, las artistas EQUAL reciben alrededor de 1.2 millones de streams editoriales durante su primer mes en el programa, demostrando c mo el descubrimiento puede traducirse en un verdadero impulso para sus carreras.
En Am rica Latina, ese impacto trasciende fronteras. Casi el 59% de la escucha total de las embajadoras de EQUAL proviene de audiencias fuera de su pa s de origen, lo que refleja la creciente influencia global de la regi n y el poder de los fandoms transfronterizos.
M s all de la Spotify Session, EQUAL 2026 tambi n se extiende fuera de la plataforma. Como parte de la celebraci n por los cinco a os, organizaremos EQUAL Days en Argentina, Brasil, Colombia y M xico: una iniciativa regional que reunir a mujeres artistas, profesionales de la industria y creadoras emergentes para generar oportunidades de aprendizaje y conexiones significativas.
En conjunto, estas iniciativas reflejan la evoluci n de EQUAL en Latinoam rica: celebrar cinco a os de progreso como una regi n unida mientras se invierte activamente en lo que viene.
Visita el hub de EQUAL en Spotify para descubrir a las artistas que est n dando forma a este movimiento.
