JORGE RAMOS: Sorry… so do you feel that reggaeton – you… the women – are taking it towards a feminist orientation?

VILLANO ANTILLANO: Yes. I would say so – towards focusing it more on that empowerment. Like- that music that is born out of empowering us from other things that are not necessarily gunshots and guns, and stacks of bills so it falls more within a more feminist range, and is much more about oneself.

“Do you feel that reggaeton – you… the women- are taking it towards a feminist orientation?”, Ramos asked Antillano of a genre he said, where “ost of the songs I listen to are about the power of women.“

Seriously Jorge? If anything, reggaeton is a genre that notorious for objectifying women, so much so that even Antillano considers “is not very much for empowering women. It´s us women who are now like taking it in that direction,” including of Karol G that are like redirecting it. But it's not genre or movement, or a motu proprio moving towards that.
