"Travesti del Perú, " Gad Yola's debut album, is a work that challenges convention and goes far beyond what you might expect from a record. The album is a reflection of his own experiences and those of many others who struggle to be authentic in an environment that isn't always welcoming.
"Being iconic is hard, but it elevates us above the rest of the creatures; and makes us MOTHERS."
— Gad Yola, Mother
"Welcome to the Museum" opens the album. Through this song, Gad Yola takes us through an imaginary museum, where characters and situations are presented that explore social complexities in a way that invites reflection and introspection.
In various interviews, Gad Yola has mentioned that his music has a deeper purpose than simply entertaining: it seeks to connect with people and give voice to experiences that are often ignored. Songs like "Aguanta Migranta" and "No Exotice" are clear examples of this, reflecting the struggles and experiences that have shaped his life and resonating with many who share similar stories.
With " Travesti del Perú ," Gad Yola is not only releasing an album, but also paying tribute to Giuseppe Campuzano , creator of the "Museo Travesti del Perú." This traveling museum is key to understanding the history and importance of transvestites in culture, and Gad Yola credits it as a pivotal inspiration in his work, continuing that legacy through his art.
