28 Best Latin Female Anthems for Women’s History Month: Staff Picks
From Jenni Rivera to Shakira, and beyond, these are the Latin female songs that make us feel empowered on International Women's Day.
For example, música Mexicana is represented with Alicia Villarreal’s ranchera “Te Quedó Grande la Yegua,” a song about a woman who’s done taking care of her good-for-nothing partner, Jenni Rivera’s “Ovarios,” a corrido about being unapologetic and unbothered, and Selena Quintanilla’s heartfelt mariachi “Qué Creías,” where she tells her ex that she has moved on. We also have urban bangers on the list: such as Becky G and Karol G’s “MAMIII,” where the two go drop hard-hitting verses about their exes, Ivy Queen’s classic perreo “Quiero Bailar,” where she explores her sensuality in the dance floor and demands respect, and “Linda” by Tokischa and Rosalía, a track about two girlfriends who are having fun on their own terms. The Latin Grammy-winning artist’s track quickly became a protest anthem for its powerful lyrics like: “Que como todas crecí con miedo, y aún así salí solita/ A ver estrellas, amar la vida (Like the others, I grew up in fear and even then, I went out alone to see the stars, to love life).”
