The Guatemalan took advantage of the moments between songs of his shows to speak with the public and polemicized on issues related to the feminist movement. just a week ago, one of his speeches had gone viral during a recital in which advocated “male power”. Yesterday, during a recital in Paraguaythe singer criticized the use of inclusive language and gender diversity.
Arjona sang for 20,000 people in Asunción as part of the tour “Black and White Tour”. There, the artist expressed his joy at returning to that country following the Covid-19 pandemic. “Many things have happened since we haven’t seen each other, many phenomena. Among them, the worst of all was that they locked us up for two years, they put masks on us, they left us there, with nothing to do”, he expressed.
When it seemed that the interpreter of “The crush and the sequel” was going to talk regarding the drama caused by the restrictions decreed to prevent the spread of the virus, Arjona’s speech took an unexpected turn. “With a cell phone in hand, with social networks and with a lot of free time; we spoil everything. Then, vulgar things began to appear. 32 genera appearedas if the important thing was to add genres and not respect people for what they want to be”.
And followed: “People appeared parading through the streets and trying to change the vowels to the words. I should say hello tonight: ‘Good night everyone’. That’s a lot of wasted free time”, he ironically, referring to the use of inclusive language.
“Then people appeared who said that women had to earn the same as men and I said why can’t they earn more. And among so many things that I did not understand, I was able to rescue the first line of this song, ”she expressed, as an introduction to her theme.

In the second message, Donda wrote: “The problem is that among all the privileges it enjoys, it has the luxury of deciding how many genres there are. and why we should fight in the street. Ricardo Arjona, whenever you want we explain to you that nobody tells us what right we defend, or how we see ourselves or feel.
Just a few days ago, another speech by the Guatemalan singer went viral on social networks. This time, it was because of some controversial words that he pronounced “in defense of men”in a recital he gave in the city of Buenos Aires.
“We men lost the territory we gained, because we misbehaved. In the mid 90’s, all that masculine power went overboard, No? We lost everything”, said the singer as an introduction to the song “Nude”.
And he continued: “Today, let us be clear, men are at the bottom of the social steps, long following pets. You can say anything you can think of regarding a man and nothing will happen to you. I heard a lady last week on a major show call men ‘brainless cavemen’ and they applauded her, she kept her job. If you tell a pet, they take it away.” In this sense, the singer asked: “I think we do deserve certain things, but It’s time to smooth things over. Because the only thing we have is a difficulty today to get closerAnd that’s not good for anyone.”
