ARACELI POJ\fA www.aracelipoma.com Araceli Poma is one of the most representative artists of the new generation of Peruvian musicians. Araceli was nominated for the 2020 Latin Grammy Awards, with the album and documentary "The Warrior Women of Afro-Peruvian Music", produced by the North American label JUST PLAY. This production poses a defiant challenge to racism, sexism and marginalization, through the power of the music and culture of the African diaspora. Her work is defined by her interest in making visible the fundamental contribution of women, challenging racism and marginalization through her music -recovering popular genres of Peruvian music, disseminating the legacy of male and female cultivators of the musical tradition-and, due to her Afro-Andean heritage, betting for the unification and integration of cultures.
