This act is part of the c/o pop nonstop program.

GATAFIERA is a Vienna-based Latinx duo composed of queer trans artists Hoesé and Luí Matias dos Santos. Their performances are more than concerts - they are immersive experiences that challenge the status quo and inspire audiences to celebrate diversity and individuality.

Combining their Peruvian and Brazilian roots, they have created a transformative musical project that blends reggaeton and baile funk with elements of drum and bass and rock, crafting a sound that energizes listeners, evokes deep emotional resonance, and amplifies their thought-provoking messages. More than just musicians, GATAFIERA is a bold statement of representation, liberation, and the power of embracing one’s identity. GATAFIERA aims to continue pushing the boundaries of urban Latin music while creating space for underrepresented voices in the industry.

In April 2024, GATAFIERA released their debut single, Perreo Deculonizado, which has been on regular rotation on FM4 ever since. One year later they unveiled their debut album SUDACA ATACA, marking a significant milestone in their burgeoning career. Since then they’ve been playing shows all over Europe, spreading their message and solidifying their place as a powerful new voice of the community.
