The rapper María Rodríguez Garrido, known artistically as Mala Rodriguezhas reflected on what it means to her reconcile motherhood and being an artistensuring that it is “big shit” and that is why women do not want to be mothers “until they are 40”, because then their careers are in “a lot of danger.”
“Not just an artist, but any woman. Girls don’t want to be mothers until they are 40. Because they say ‘if I am a mother now, my career is in great danger because There are many people behind who want to get you out of the way. what the hell’. And I don’t know why, but I have continued fighting for my music, for myself, and my children have supported me because they understand very well what I do (…) I see many mothers who are bitter because they are trapped. I would like to tell you things, but I don’t dare,” added the singer.
Mala Rodriguez released his latest album a strange worldproduced by Bull Nene, last May. A work that was “the last thing he owed” to his previous record company, Universal Music, and that has 13 titles in which he does allegories to “freedom”addressing the phases and the struggle involved in obtaining it.
“I have handled it very badly, because I thought: ‘what is it that they don’t like?’ It’s here (the album) but it has been a catharsis, because it has been like hitting you there until I have done what I wanted. I It has cost several managers because they said to make a song that everyone influencers they are going to dance And I didn’t want to. In the end you doubt, “you doubt yourself”the artist has acknowledged.
“Artists can’t sleep”
In that sense, Mala Rodríguez has stated that He ended up making “the album he wanted” and in which he not only talks about “going out and drinking”, because he believes that artists cannot “sleep” and do “removable” work.
“We can’t sleep if the artists fall asleep and everyone starts doing things.” removable shitwe are going to be in a slightly less good moment in art. In the history of art there have been many moments and some more beautiful than others. Well, we don’t have to be so afraid, people are afraid, they only think about the numbers. Since when have artists thought about numbers? “If we are about letters!” he reiterated.
25 years of ‘Iberian Luxury’
Next 2025 will mark 25 years of the work that propelled the artist to the charts, Iberian luxuryand will celebrate it with a reissue of the work together with artists with whom he is “very connected“.
“I look pretty much the same, sadly. The same things keep happening to me: I get nervous, I feel afraid, I feel like I have to put on my armor, that I’m still sometimes embarrassed to say certain things in songs… But then you hear the songs, you sing them, many people sing them with you (…) At my first concert in a small room I discovered the fucking monster inside me and I’m happy because I’m still there,” he concluded.
