These 20 Latina Artists Are Here To Spice Up Your Summer Quarantine Playlist

Latin America is one of the most diverse, beautiful regions in the world and Latin music is growing in international popularity. When asked to think of a Latina singer, the big names may come to mind, Shakira, J Lo, Camila Cabello, Selena Gomez. But there are so many others that are putting out amazing content worth listening to.

So if you're looking to spice up your summer playlist with some talented women, look no further! Here's an amazing Latina artist from almost every Latin American country.

1. Brazil - IZA

The music of Iza embodies the modern spirit of Brazil - a contemporary vibe with influences from pop and hip hop.

2. Mexico - Girl Ultra

It's impossible to deny that Mexico is incredibly diverse and its women are talented. Girl Ultra is one - an R&B artist from Mexico City. Her music is growing an elegant, distinctly Mexican limb onto the R&B family tree.

3. Colombia - Lido Pimienta

Colombia has so many powerful female singers: Shakira, Kali Uchis, Ventino, Elsa y Elmar, Bomba Estereo, Karol G. It's hard to pick just one to showcase, but you can't deny Lido Pimienta's power. The Polaris Prize-winning artist contrasts emotions with steel drums and electro-infused rhythms drawing from reggaeton, cumbia, and porro.

4. Argentina - Nathy Peluso

While Argentina is overflowing with talented female artists (think Cazzu), Peluso is really incomparable stylistically, with a mesh of R&B, hip-hop, trap, and more. She even has a song where she raps about her love for pizza. Relatable. Undeniably, la sandunguera tiene un sazón peculiar.

5. Peru - Renata Flores Rivera

Renata breaks barriers by singing in Quecha, an official language of Peru and the second most-spoken in the country after Spanish, but still stigmatized. She produces a truly unique sound and often sings about social issues, such as femicides and education.

6. Venezuela - Nella

Nella was born in the beach town of Porlamar, on the Island of Margarita, the largest Venezuelan island in the Caribbean. She has used her beautiful voice to create songs of unity and love.

7. Chile - Mon Laferte

While there is no shortage of talented females coming out of Chile (Ana Tijoux, Paloma Mami, to name a few), Mon Laferte is currently the most played Chilean artist on Spotify worldwide. She is also the Chilean artist with the most nominations in a single edition of the Latin Grammy Awards.

8. Guatemala - Rebeca Lane

From Guatemala City, Lane raps about her experience in a female body and the struggle of women against sexism. She also speaks out about problems in Guatemalan society such as the consequences of war and the lack of justice.

9. Ecuador - Dome Palma

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
