![]() Sometimes, her alter ego, Alicia Bouquet, comes out on stage and sings English love and heartbreak songs. With her band Brútiful or solo, she performs on stages in bars, theaters, festivals, self-managed social centers, cultural centers, or in the street. ![]() The name of the album is a play on the Marxist term lumpenproletariado. Lumpenprekariät, her second album, came out in September 2018. She was able to do so because the sound technician of a hall where she had performed offered to record it in her spare time without charging her. In August 2015, she released her first album, Ganas de quemar cosas, with ten songs that, according to herself, have never failed her. In 2014, her song Y las flores was the soundtrack of the documentary directed by Fernando Olmeda, El viaje de Carla, about the life of the politician and LGBT rights activist Carla Antonelli, a fellow countryman of Ramos. Īs a result of participating in an open mic whose proposal was to make a song about a current issue every week, she composed two of her best known songs, Mi Amante Urdangarín and Muérete tú dedicated to Christine Lagarde, director of the International Monetary Fund, after she asked in 2012 for a lowering of pensions because of "the risk of people living longer than expected". Her music is a mix of styles, but country rock is the most common one. She claims to have forged her musical taste listening to Deep Purple, the bands ofe Ritchie Blackmore, Lucinda Williams, Shooter Jennings, Sheryl Crow or John Mayer in his last stages, but also other voices such as John Denver, Silvio Rodríguez, the figures of the Novísima Trova Cubana Frank Delgado and Carlos Varela, or singers like Fito Páez and Andrés Calamaro. She made her first compositions at the age of fifteen or sixteen. She began to play Canarian folklore at the age of nine, and later she studied piano at the Conservatory. Academically, she has a degree in geography and history, but music has interested her since she was very young. She was born in the Tenerife municipality of Güimar, in the Canary Islands. Alicia Ramos Triano, known as Alicia Ramos ( Güímar, September 13, 1969), is a Spanish LGBT singer-songwriter, columnist, and writer. ![]()
