Zusammenfassung & Show Notes
Today, I’m super excited to have María Moctezuma on the show.
María is a singer-songwriter and an activist from Mexico. She blends ancestral sounds with powerful political messages. Today, she’s based in Germany.
Her music is deeply rooted in Maya culture and explores themes of identity, decolonization, and resistance. María sings over layered vocal loops and traditional instruments, creating soundscapes that are both ancient and radically present.
She calls her music Sonido Raizoso (sound of the roots) and through it, she brings feminist, queer, and Indigenous stories to the stage. Her performances are pretty mind-blowing.
María is not just making music — she’s reclaiming space.
Content note: This episode includes mentions of bullying and scarification.
