Dominican Republic — On a mid-March evening here in the capital, a crowd of hundreds of festivalgoers wearing fairy wings, rhinestones and rainbow face paint began to chant.
“Po-po-la!” they shouted, deploying the local slang for vagina.Few artists can boast of having collaborated with Rosalía or J Balvin. Tokischa, the trendy urban singer from the Dominican Republic, is on the rise.
With her bold and brash lyrics, she is being hailed as one of the biggest Caribbean musical figures of the moment. Some consider her image and her lyrics controversial or provocative, but others admire her liberation.
Tokischa encourages controversy to gain media attention. Last year, she had to pay a fine and apologize after posting clearly erotic photos in front of a mural of the Virgen de la Altagracia, patron of her country.
Months later, she appeared disguised as a vagina at the Latin Billboard Awards. According to a Dominican columnist, the rapper’s lyrics “disrespect a population that fights to preserve family values.”
