And Dembow emcee Tokischa teamed up with Miko on the sensual Bad Gyal single “Chulo pt. 2,” which was certified platinum.
In the past, narrow industry norms made it complex for queer artists to thrive in mainstream Latin music, says Verónica Davila Ellis, assistant professor of Spanish at James Madison University. But new acts are upending tradition with their authentic identities and honest songwriting.
“In Latin American music in general, gender non-conforming artists have always been there, whether they possess been out or not,” Ellis tells USA TODAY. “The new thing is having those two perspectives: their own self-identifications and the content of the lyrics.”
While there are limitations to how queer artists operate within a historically hete

Juan Gabriel Died One Year Ago: LGBTQ Latino Writers Reflect On His Impact
August 28 marks the first anniversary of the death of Juan Gabriel, one of the most beloved and popular Mexican singer-songwriters of the Spanish-speaking planet. He will be remembered for the countless songs in various musical genres that have become iconic standards, for the rags to riches journey of his life story and for the energetic performances that endeared him to audiences across the globe, particularly in Latin America.
But for many LGBTQ Latinos, Juan Gabriel’s flashy traits on the stage offered a level of noticeability to feminine mannerisms that were, for the most part, shunned by a culture of strict gender roles and machismo.

Juan Gabriel interviewing himself is camp. Peso Pluma getting the David Guetta treatment is camp as hell, though perhaps now he’ll also top the circuit party charts. Camp is everywhere if you know what you’re looking for, and though once upon a time it was more directly conflated with bad Hollywood acting and over-glitzed pop stars, it’s still very much a tool of resistance. Spain has a long-running partnership with camp, most notably exemplified by La Movida Madrileña and the wave of uproarious, sex and gender-defying art that flooded pop culture in t .
