Gad Yola (@gadyola) is a Peruvian drag artist, singer, and border-crossing activist. She migrated to Spain when she was ten years old and began her career in the world of drag after graduating from university. Being the good Cosmos representative she is, Gad is everywhere: she is known for her shows and her powerful anti-racist and anti-colonialist discourse. This year she released her first album: Travesti del Perú, a creative work that mixes art and resistance.

In this episode, Gad discusses her migrant and queer identities, drag as a fighting tool, and the importance of empathy is. She also shares the inspiration behind her first album and her vision of opening new pathways for other migrants of the Cosmos generation.

In the first season of Las Cosmos podcast, we explore Latin arts and culture in Spain, with creative Cosmolatines who are at the forefront. If you want to discover new talent and keep up with what’s happening in the cultural scene, this is your space.
