Del mondongo al ojalá
Pabellón Central - Jardín de las Ideas
Read moreThe Mexican Aldo Villegas, known by the artistic name Bocafloja, is a renowned poet, social communicator, and spoken word and hip hop artist. Well known for his critic viewpoint on systemic racism, colonialism and oppression, he has been a pioneer in the use of hip hop as a tool for raising social awareness in Latin America. He began his career in the 1990s with the groups Lifestyle and Microphonk, and as a solo artist he has made influential albums such as Pienso, luego existo (2003), Jazzyturno (2004) and Existo; matriz preludio al pienso (2009). His recent book, Del mondongo al ojalá (2024) is an innovative compilation combining short stories, poetry, micronarratives and photography, exploring non-linear narratives and anti-colonial epistemologies based on racialized experience in the global South. He will talk to Daniel Rivera Marín about his music career and his incursion into literature.
