What do you think about the presence of women in the Ecuadorian indie scene? Evidently, if you compare the rate between men and women, we are much less. It is normal to have two or three female musicians in a festival. For example, I gave almost always played with the girls of "Swing Original Monks", you know Nathalia Madrigal “Juana Monkâ€? and Steph Viteri. In addition, the singer of Munn, Mariella, or the singer of "Los Corrientes" which is better known as "DoĂąa Pepa" are also frequently seen female artists, and that's all. It is even less common to see independent projects started by women. Lots of times I have been the only woman in at a lineup of 8 bands.
I think that people thinking that there is no solo female singers in Ecuador is a wrong idea. There many solo female singers! I have been always strong, and I always wanted people to see me as a male solo singer without any privilege, and without locks. I think that what I have has the same value than any other band, and I am good, so I think that I can do better than just making a poster look nice because of my name. I think I have won a spot in the music scene that I deserve. I have been always supported by bands and cultural managers, and I have been lucky because I know that this is not always the case. In the end, one has to adapt to the circumstances, and this is what has to be changed.
