Colombian-Italian artist Mariposa cultivates her own exciting, self-taught brand of Latin rap: one that’s endlessly captivating and full of righteous fury. Her brilliant debut EP Otro Mundo and follow-up Inframundo position Mariposa at the very vanguard of the movement, able to communicate themes like mental health, inclusivity and ancestry with her contagious charisma and passionate lyricism.

Inspired by artists as diverse as Pastor Lopez, Rodolfo Aicardi to Cardi B and Isaiah Rashad, Mariposa is already a master of her craft. She’s someone who doesn’t sit still: her work seamlessly integrates genres like trap, perreo and cumbia within a modern, forward thinking hip-hop framework. It all translates into performances that channel both primal energy and primo entertainment.
