Patrizia Escoín on 90s Rock Sexism and Los Romeos' Feminist Reboot

Patrizia Escoín, lead singer of the Spanish rock band Los Romeos, reflects on the sexism of the 1990s rock scene, describing it as a 'campo de nabos' (a turnip field) and 'machirulada' (a macho thing). The Castellón-based band, known for their fast rock with pop melodies and pure, catchy sound, has released a new version of their 90s hit, now featuring Samantha Hudson and reworked as a feminist empowerment anthem. Escoín criticizes the nostalgia-driven music industry where prestige doesn't pay bills, but insists Los Romeos' return is not merely about cashing in on past glory. The original song's transformation reflects a shift in cultural attitudes, turning a former hit into a statement against the machismo that once dominated the scene.
