Becky G Launches A Podcast That You Need
Amazon has been blessed with the one and only Becky G. Miss Becky G and Gema Productions recently launched “En La Sala”, a brand-new multimedia podcast available on Amazon Music and streaming live on Amazon Music’s Twitch Channel.
Becky G, and fellow Latinx creator Diana Dotel of Gema Productions, developed and produced the podcast with a shared goal of creating a platform with a social purpose that amplifies Latinx voices to raise awareness of issues affecting marginalized communities.
“To tell you the truth, I’ve also been wanting to start a podcast for some time. As soon as corona hit and all of us were stuck at home with the cuarentena and everything happening, I think that for me, it just felt like, I didn’t have any more distractions from what was going on in society, from the reality that we were all facing. And the really awesome conversations that I was having with my family, I was dying to have with my fans and with my audience. And I felt like this avenue of having a podcast is a new line of communication that I can have with them that I’ve never had before,” Becky G shared about the podcast.
On “En La Sala,” Becky G will be joined by some of the biggest names in music and entertainment, her familia and friends, to discuss Latinx pride, women empowerment, LGBTQ+ rights, relationships, politics, sports, and much more — all while unpacking the most important issues facing the Latinx community today.
“Even within our own cultures, and what we experience, we don’t realize that there’s a lot of ugly things deeply rooted. Our anti-blackness and how we treat other communities and how we, of course, have had our own pains and sufferings, but that doesn’t invalidate another community’s pain and suffering either. It’s having the conversations that allow us to be more empathetic and things like that. And politics for us is something that I think has always been intimidating,” Becky G stated.
You can take a listen to the latest episode here. The episode features cameos from some of the most important names in Latin music, including Maluma, Guaynaa, Gente de Zona, Mau y Ricky, Myke Towers, and more. Becky even opens up about getting caught by her parents, the first (and only) time she ever snuck out of the house when she was younger.
Finally, Becky G is dedicating each episode to a non-profit organization related to the theme of the week, starting this week with The Boys and Girls Club of Los Angeles. With a charitable donation attached to each episode to pay it forward to organizations directly impacting the Latinx community in a positive way.
I mean…don’t we deserve something amazing in 2020?
