Ivy Queen talks to women about how they can discover their inner Ivy, shares her passion for cooking, the importance of Women’s History Month and her participation in the first all-female collaborative album in Latin urban music, La Liga Femenina, alongside La Mala Rodríguez, Mariah Angeliq, Bellakath and many more.

Ivy Queen: Now we have a generation of women who are already, are ready to tell men a thing or two. I’m not saying that we don’t need men because I don’t know how to change a tire. Of course, I need you to come through for the queen.

Jessica Roiz: I’m so excited — we’re kicking off the month with an incredible project. Tell us a little bit. It’s an album, La Liga Femenina, there’s Ivy Queen and there are many artists also who are going hard in the urban genre. 

Truly, this is a project, I say, ambitious in that having — bringing together a team of women, although it might seem very easy from the outside, but from inside it’s very difficult. Well, because of the internal stuff, right? I say. But a very ambitious project, which Boy Wonder approached me about and I first was like, “Oh! A women’s project.” You know, I have tried before to do something like this, and, and it didn’t come up the way I thought it was gonna come up.

But finally we’re in a, in a landscape that’s a little bit different, a little bit more, more full of empathy, and there are, uh, eight countries, singers from eight countries, uh, a total of 19 songs. And it seems to me that this project that started as an ambition, on the part of, Boy Wonder, well it needed the endorsement, right? From someone who has been, as they say, I say, involved in the, in the, in the field. I think it’s nice, it’s different, and, and I hope people will listen to each song and each one with her flow. 

Keep watching for more!
