Residente to Play Free Zócalo Concert on Sept. 6 at 8 p.m.

Six rappers from the Mujer en Cypher collective will open in a showcase of women shaping Mexico’s hip-hop scene.

Overview

  • Mexico City’s government, led by Jefa de Gobierno Clara Brugada, announced the event as free to the public.
  • The Mujer en Cypher lineup—Arianna Puello, Ximbo, Niña Dioz, Prania Esponda, Azuky and Mena—will start around 18:30 with trombonist María Balvina and DJ Ninja.
  • A large turnout is expected, with media offering varying and nonofficial crowd estimates, so attendees are encouraged to arrive early.
  • Metro adjustments are planned near the plaza, with the Zócalo/Tenochtitlán station closed and access suggested via Allende or Bellas Artes.
  • No official setlist has been released, and lists circulating in coverage are speculative projections based on recent shows mixing solo material and Calle 13 songs.
