Lola Flores, Sara Montiel, Imperio Argentina, and Marifé de Triana brought folklore to homes by revealing the gender discourse hidden in the lyrics of their songs. This detailed and emotional analysis explores the constant, often underlying, presence of sexual diversity in the history of the copla, from the dawn of Phoenician civilization to the present day.

From its first notes, La copla queer delves into gender ideology in popular music, highlighting emblematic figures such as Miguel de Molina, nicknamed “la Miguela,” Rafael de León, and Lorca, who addressed the expression of homosexuality in their works and marked a significant milestone in its acceptance and visibility within the cultural sphere.

The copla, full of LGTBI nods, becomes here a field of exploration through performers like Lola Flores or Rocío Jurado, who were not only national icons but also figures linked to the defense of sexual diversity and identity discourse, challenging stereotypes and paving the way toward acceptance.

These pages show how music has been a powerful means of expression for gender diversity, through themes that emerged during a moment of cultural effervescence and connected with a very broad sexual and social spectrum. The lyrics of these songs reveal themselves as a catalyst for change, tolerance, and acceptance of identity discourse in all its forms and manifestations.

To love “green eyes,” with sex, but without condition.

“Carmen Moreno is a fulfilled person and a complete author. With the inevitable complexity of simplicity.” –Juan José Téllez, writer and journalist
