A “spectacular” and above all “very symbolic” gesture. The Spanish daily El País is full of praise for Eva Amaral’s gesture. The singer of the group of the same name unveiled her bare chest during a concert to launch a feminist message, reports Courrier International.
Eva Amaral performed on the stage of the independent Spanish festival Sonorama Ribera to celebrate the 25th anniversary of her group. Interrupting her performance, the singer launched into a long, very political speech. “For Rocío. For Rigoberta. For Zahara. For Miran. For Baby. For all of us”, she said, referring to other singers “who had problems because they had shown their breasts during a concert or because they had not hesitated to claim equal rights for all”, explains El Mundo.
“Because no one can rob us of the dignity of our nudity. The dignity of our fragility, of our strength. Because there are too many of us. And they can’t take away the life we want. A world where the fear of saying what you can will no longer exist. Because today is the hour of the revolution”, she continued, before performing her title Revolucion to the applause of the public.
Eva Amaral’s gesture sparked many reactions on social networks and in Spanish newspapers. “If the first photo scandalizes you more than the second, then you are a problem. Thank you Eva Amaral for your commitment to the defense of true freedom (…) Dignity should not scandalize, “wrote a user on X (ex-Twitter).
Other reactions, negative, have also spread on social networks and in the press. The newspaper El Periodico de España even reports in its columns that many people explained to the singer that there was “nothing transgressive in showing her breasts”. “Eva Amaral did what prominent figures should do, give a face to the invisible, defend the rights of those who have none,” El Independendiente finally decided in a mood post.
