Debut Album
“Feminista Manifestó” is a 15-track album that captures more layers to Celesté Martinez story, her identity as a Queer Chicana, and intersectional feminist politics. This collection of songs includes a combination of original works and intentionally selected covers that captures the band’s unique sound of Latin Folk and Riot Grrrl Punk Rock. The aspiration is for this debut album to be as accessible as a Riot Grrrl zine- something that can be picked up and flipped through leaving an impression, a question, a point of curiosity.

Machista
This punk song with some western flair is about how if people are not conscious of the ways patriarchy manifests itself then they can unconsciously perpetuate this system of oppression. The chorus specifically calls out people who identify with feminism and repeats the Spanish term “machista,” which can be translated into English as “sexist,” to invoke self-reflection.
