Unmasking the Masked: Fèmina and "Buen Viaje"

Our random tune for today is by Argentine group Fèmina. Fèmina, based in Buenos Aires, is made up of three women from Argentina's Patagonia region. They classify themselves as a fusion rap group, bringing female voices into a mixture of rap and regional styles that creates something new in the global music scene. They released their first album in 2011, which was a selection of tunes performed live in Buenos Aires and other cities in Argentina. This song, Buen Viaje, is from their second album Traspasa (2014). Their sound and reputation has been spreading as they have been performing in various festivals around the world.
