Becky G has two languages and one powerful reason to speak up for Latinos in America

• Speak up for Latinos represents a personal responsibility for Rebecca Marie Gómez through her artistic platform and community alliances.

• The release of Baraja bendita, her 5th studio album, celebrates the duality of Spanglish, that blend of English and Spanish, as an accumulation of her life experience.

• The singer emphasizes that art and rights advocacy can coexist to drive meaningful social transformations.

During her appearance at the panel sessions during Billboard Latin Music Week in Miami Beach, renowned singer Becky G reaffirmed that speaking 2 languages allows her to connect genuinely with the identity of millions of people; therefore, she assumed a firm, direct defense of immigrant communities.

On the other hand, the recognized 29 year old Mexican American performer, whose real name is Rebecca Marie Gómez, emphasized that art and social commitment must coexist within the contemporary music industry, driving deep cultural transformations when using global platforms to give visibility to those who lack representation in mainstream media.

Becky G and cultural duality in musical representation

In the 1st place, industry records highlight that the artist maintains a career rooted in bicultural authenticity as an essential creative foundation, allowing her to blend traditional elements of regional Mexican music with modern pop structures while defending her heritage in high visibility international spaces.

Likewise, the granddaughter of Mexican immigrants who gained global fame with the hit Mayores alongside Bad Bunny considers her position deeply personal, defining herself as a “200%” artist (100% Mexican and 100% American), since she recalled that Los Angeles and all of California historically belonged to Mexico, a fact that strengthens her commitment to speak up for Latinos across U.S. territory.

Reflection on her cultural legacy:

When addressing her social commitment to the immigrant community and the historical value of her roots in the United States, the artist explained the deep reason why she uses her media visibility as a tool for transformation:

“I’m in a very unique position as a ‘200%’ (100% Mexican and 100% American), as a Latina who was born here in the United States, in Los Angeles. Los Angeles was Mexico, just like all of California. So, for me, it’s personal, it really is. And it’s about being a voice for those who can’t speak.”

Cultural impact and connection to roots

The artist highlights that her collaborative single titled Mi gran amor, released alongside legend Carlos Santana, pays explicit homage to working class families, proving that musical talent serves as an ideal tool to speak up for Latinos facing complex social dynamics in the region.

Likewise, the singer recalled her grandmother’s teachings about growing up in a “little pueblito” to justify her grassroots work, while promoting Baraja bendita, her 5th studio album described as an accumulation of her personal experience in Spanglish, that natural fusion of English and Spanish, which features tracks like Marathon, Epa, and Patrona, consolidating an unapologetic genderless musical project that found little acceptance when she first began her career.

• Integration of family legacies: The influence of her Mexican grandparents guides her creation of authentic content, preserving the cultural memory of working class Inglewood neighborhoods within international productions.
