by Dave Id
"Cuando Una Mujer Avanza / When a Woman Steps Forward" is a documentary film produced by Simon Sedillo which covers the experiences, worldview, and motivations of Oaxacan female hiphop performer Mare. Simon and Mare are touring the U.S. promoting the film, currently in the Bay Area. On April 27th, Mare and Simon screened the film at The Holdout in Oakland. Mare performed several songs for an enthusiastic audience, then the film maker and musical artist graciously took a good number questions from the audience for about a half hour (full audio below).

Cuando Una Mujer Avanza (When a Woman Takes a Step Forward)

MUSICA POR SON ALTEPEE, ACAYUCAN, VERACRUZ

A documentary film about "Mare" a female hip hop artist from Oaxaca, Mexico. Mare is medicine for the devaluating experiences of many young women of color today. As a young native Zapotec female MC born in Oaxaca City, her unique life experience is a rarely heard perspective on life and community liberation. As an up and coming MC in a state know for popular and indigenous rebellion, Mare's life and experience has been channeled into very power full and conscious rapping and singing.
