Punk and decolonial thinking in Bogota, Colombia

Abstract

This article gathers the work carried out with three punk bands of Bogota to talk about decoloniality regarding race, class and gender. To analyse the latter the theoretical framework we proposed was decolonial aesthetics and liberating music praxis. The results from the research were two-fold: on the one hand, through a quantitative methodology, Bogota’s punk scene composition regarding race, class and gender; and on the other hand, through a qualitative methodology, a discursive analysis of the workshops, the in-depth interviews and the lyrics of the songs. We sought to answer the question: how does punk connect with decoloniality and become a music genre that supports the narration of oppressions?
