Samantha Hudson to Bring ‘Música para muñecas’ Tour to Canary Islands

Samantha Hudson is back in the spotlight with the announcement of two upcoming performances in the Canary Islands. The artist, known for her work in music, performance, and activism, will showcase her third studio album, Música para muñecas (Subterfuge, 2025), at two events next week. She will perform on Thursday, April 9, at the LaLa Music 2026 festival opening at Aguere Cultural in La Laguna, followed by a show on Saturday, April 11, at the Monopol Music Festival in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, where she will join a lineup featuring Alizzz, Ninfa, Silde, Lopez House, Compota de Manana, and Juan Hansen.

Hudson’s return to the islands highlights a new chapter in her creative career. She describes her latest show as a blend of contemporary dance and high-tech staging, designed to connect with a wide audience. She calls this album her most ambitious project yet, using it to explore how we build our identities in an era defined by job insecurity and instability within the arts.

Hudson remains a vocal advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, a stance she maintains is vital in today’s polarized political climate. She rejects the idea that queer activism is responsible for the rise of reactionary movements, instead placing the blame on systems that foster discrimination. She also offers a nuanced take on the recent trend of using religious imagery in pop music; while she acknowledges the human need for spiritual comfort, she warns that such expressions can sometimes be used to push institutional agendas or reinforce traditional power structures.

On a personal level, Hudson disputes the idea that her public persona is just an artificial act. For her, the visibility she has gained is not a shield against hostility, but a platform to assert her identity. Her work is more than just an aesthetic choice; it is a collective response to a society that often challenges the legitimacy of those who live outside traditional norms. As she prepares for her tour, Hudson remains committed to using her platform to engage critically with the world around her.
