Margarita Quebrada

About

Margarita Quebrada is a sonic alchemist, blending the raw energy of punk with the hypnotic rhythms of Latin American folk to create a sound that is as rebellious as it is soulful. Hailing from Mexico City, her music is a defiant celebration of cultural hybridity, where distorted guitars meet traditional percussion, and her voice—raspy yet melodic—carries the weight of ancestral stories and modern-day struggles. Drawing inspiration from legends like Patti Smith and Chavela Vargas, Quebrada’s sound is a visceral tapestry of rebellion, love, and resilience. Her career began in the underground DIY scene, where her electrifying live performances quickly earned her a cult following. The release of her debut EP, *Desgarro*, marked her breakthrough, with critics praising its unapologetic fusion of genres and its raw emotional depth. Since then, she has become a beacon for Latinx artists pushing boundaries, challenging stereotypes, and reclaiming their narratives. Quebrada’s collaborations with artists like Natalia Lafourcade and Café Tacvba have further cemented her reputation as a trailblazer. Her 2022 album, *Fronteras Rotas*, was hailed as a masterpiece, blending political commentary with poetic lyricism. Currently, she is working on a multimedia project exploring migration and identity, set to debut in 2024. Margarita Quebrada isn’t just making music—she’s crafting anthems for a generation in flux.
