One glance at the cover of her new bilingual album and youll understand why.

She is... La Que Manda.

Released on May 27, 2020, La Que Manda, (The Woman in Charge) is the story of a woman coming into her own power.

Ive spent my life playing nice and making myself small, said Chavez. Then I toured the U.S. and the world and saw how women everywhere -- from Nebraska to Uzbekistan to Argentina -- know what it means to be silenced in the face of power. This album is for them, for all of us. An anthem to reclaim our bodies, our hearts, our voices, and show the world what weve known the whole time: we are La Que Manda.
