KRUDAS CUBENSI
Odaymara Cuesta and Olivia Prendes are Krudas Cubensi, Cuban working-class artivists, hip-hop MCs, independent musicians, poets, theater performers and educators representing womyn, immigrants, queers and People of Color action as a central part of world change. They choose the art as a weapon to celebrate life, to fight for justice and against oppression.

They both were born & raised in Cuba, studied art and began their artivism early in their lives. In 1994 Odaymara joined GALES the first LGTB activist independent group in Ciudad Habana, Cuba. In 1996 they both co-founded the first vegan and queer activist art collective: Cubensi.

Krudas Cubensi, the Afro Cuban hip-hop feminist crew was created in 1999 by Odaymara Cuesta, Olivia Prendes and Odalys Cuesta aka Wanda Kruda. In 2003 they recorded their first Album: Cubensi Hip Hop. In 2004 they started working as a hip-hop duo. In 2005 they recorded their second album: Kandela. In 2006 they migrated to United States, Austin/Texas, the International Live Music Capitol.

From 2007 until today they have been performing, recording, giving workshops, educating and touring in Europe, The Caribbean, North, Central and South America bringing Cubensi hip-hop, dancehall, cumbia, old school, mixtapes and new strong beautiful beats from all around the world with their amazing afro-caribbean rebel lyrics & voices to empower their community. Since they are based in Austin/Texas, they have released three official albums: Levantate in 2012, Poderosxs in 2014 and Highly Addictive in 2016.

LA TERRORISTA DEL SABOR
La Terrorista del Sabor aka Mariana Davila, born in 1983 in Bogotá/Colombia, is a multidisciplinary artist. Composer, producer and singer, she plays
the accordion and has collaborated in the music industry with big names as El Hijo de la Cumbia, Carmelo Torres, Ali Gua Gua,, Tremenda Jauria and Sistema Sonido Rodriguez, among others.

Colombia, Mexico and Europe have been witnesses of her musical trajectory. She has performed in many festivals and parties in Mexico, Colombia, Switzerland, Germany and Spain. With her band La Orrorosa she shared stages with Systema Solar, Kumbia Queers, Chico Trujillo, Maldita Vecindad, Dr. Krapula and many others.

She is currently working in the release of her first EP as La Terrorista del Sabor. Mariana offers a different point of view with a direct, clean, intelligent and humorous criticism, that is also chaotic and terrorific and involves a high requirement of "terroritmo", style and flow.
