Raquel Bigorra Dispels Witchcraft Rumors and Teases New ‘Macumba’ Single

She clarified that her Cuban religious heritage does not equate to brujería practices.

Overview

  • In a conversation with Yordi Rosado, Bigorra denied ever practicing witchcraft and attributed the rumors to Cuba’s blend of African and Catholic traditions.
  • She leaned into the ‘bruja’ stereotype with humor and unveiled her new single “Macumba,” recorded alongside the group Súper Lamas.
  • Bigorra emphasized her Christian faith, saying she believes in God and the Virgin figures but does not engage in spiritual cleansings or esoteric rituals.
  • Recalling a past sexual harassment incident in Mexico City, she explained that the experience led her to wear looser, more protective clothing.
  • After moving from Cuba at age 20, she credited early career hardships with strengthening her self-reliance and resilience.
