A SPANISH poet, Alejandra Martinez, has fought back at misogyny in music by entering a compilation of reggae songs in a poetry contest. The feminist poem uses a mixture of sexist extracts from songs to create a powerful piece which went viral online after she performed it the Madrid ‘Poetry Slam.’ Martinez said she wanted to address the question, “how can you be a feminist and listen to reggaeton?” The two minute and forty second piece has now been viewed more than 79,000 online, attracting praise from viewers for her innovative take. https://www.facebook.com/LaVanguardia/videos/2201240806606163/
