“Mare Advertencia is Oaxaca’s rising lyrical powerhouse.” - Pitchfork
“Mare’s voice delivers a potent string of poetic wisdom and uncomfortable truths” - Refinery29
Born in Oaxaca, Mexico, Mare Advertencia returns hip-hop to its powerful roots: speaking truth to power. Her music explores the hard truths of life as an indigenous Zapotec woman, exposing patriarchal systems of power and inequality.
These deep themes and activist zeal run from her solo EPs, including 2022’s rousing Siempreviva, through to 2025’s angry and urgent Wake Up with fellow Mexico-born firebrand Elis Paprika. In 2022, the song Árboles Bajo El Mar, performed by Lirika and singer Vivir Quintana, featured on the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack alongside luminaries like Rihanna and Stormzy.
Taking this night to the next level, Advertencia is joined by Noongar rap and R&B sensation, INKABEE. Bursting onto the national scene in late 2022 with his debut single Beat the Odds, the teenage wunderkind continues to impress. His Bars of Steel performance of We Dat Good with FLEWNT amassed over 10 million views on TikTok.
He’s shared stages with artists like Barkaa, JK-47, Kobie Dee, and JMilla, featured at some of the country’s most iconic venues, and performed abroad at the SummerStage in Central Park, New York, and the International Indigenous Music Summit in Toronto. At SXSW Sydney (2023), Chance the Rapper dubbed the 13-year-old “the future of Australian hip hop”. From viral freestyles to world stages, INKABEE isn’t just rising – he’s arrived.
Patrons are advised that this event is predominantly standing room only.
