MARICA NEGRA. Born in Buenaventura, in the Pacific Coast of Colombia, Danika has shown a unique approach on fashion and trans tropical futurism. This in part, thanks to her deep knowledge on the history and the country, and the context were she approaches to music. In "Marica Negra", her most recent release, we can see her critizicing transphobia in the country, as well as giving a roar from within the digital sex workers industry, that since the pandemic has taken a great mass in Colombia.

With trap, cumbia and currulao, she builds this first musical universe that will define her and that the country has praised with great reception. Truth and body talk.
