Latinas rap loud and proud

Liliana Samuet from Bomba Estereo
Here in the States we are well aware of female rappers, as rare as they may be in the mainstream nowadays. They are alive,kickin' and spittin' in Latin America.
This great Los Angeles Times article from August 10 brings to light groups fronted by Latina rappers hailing from Colombia and Chile.
"Latina rappers make their voices heard"
...and here is a cumbia/reggae fueled track by one of the Colombian groups Bomba Estereo.Cuidado,que aqui hay...
Fuego!

You might also recognize rapper Ana Tijoux from Julieta Venegas's "Eres Para Mi" and her solo sound is very much worth listening to. Enjoy!
