ChocQuibTown's Goyo Pens Open Letter on Black Lives Matter: 'Speak Up ... Without Fear of Being Criticized'
In a thought-provoking open letter shared exclusively with Billboard, ChocQuibTown's Gloria "Goyo" Martínez discusses racial injustices and systemic racism in Latin America and the U.S., and the lack of education on the topic in the Latin music industry.While few Latin artists have spoken about the topic, the Afro-Colombian was among the first Latin artists to condemn the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis, and is also seeking justice for the death of Anderson Arboleda, a victim of alleged police brutality, in Colombia. "I don’t care if I lose a racist follower or to seem ‘less cool,'" she shared.
