It was May and a group of Latina drag queens had taken over the stage of C’mon Everybody, to exclusively perform Shakira songs. The reason? Yas Mama. 

The legacy of the Colombian global popstar was joining those of other Latina divas like Selena, on the list of tribute nights offered by the party producers at Yas Mama in order to “make space for the Latinx folks and Latinx excellency on stage,” as host Lady Quesa said when introducing the show.   

The Brooklyn drag queen legend Horrorchata had brought to the stage La Zavaleta, Jenn D Role, Charlene and Dimani. All took the crowd for a ride through the diverse repertoire of the three-time Grammy and twelve-Latin Grammy winner from Barranquilla.
