Bocafloja —poet, hip-hop and spoken word artist, and social communicator from Mexico City—celebrates the release of his new album with a soulful showcase from the Spanish-speaking diaspora.
Bocafloja began his musical career in the mid 90s with the groups Lifestyle (1996–98) and Microphonk (1999). Working as a solo artist since 2000, he made waves in the Mexican hip-hop scene with the release of his debut album, Pienso Luego Existo, in 2003. Nine years and four albums later, Bocafloja has become one of the most revered icons in the Mexican hip-hop scene. Lyrically, Bocafloja addresses such topics as institutionalized racism, social and political oppression, mental slavery, colonialism and other human rights conditions. In Mexico, Bocafloja has pioneered the use of hip-hop culture as a tool to create awareness, developing an alternative form for political participation that is more relevant to marginalized youth. Bocafloja has performed in festivals, clubs and cultural centers in more than 10 countries worldwide and has shared the stage with some of the most important and influential artists in the international hip-hop scene. Bocafloja lives and works between New York, San Francisco and Mexico City.
