<p>This episode of the Madame Talk Europe podcast explores the situation and visibility of queer artists in the Swiss rap scene, particularly in the French-speaking region. While there is a perception from abroad that Switzerland might be a more favorable environment for queer artists compared to France, the reality is more complex. Participants agree that LGBT+ artists remain a minority and generally under-represented. However, it is highlighted that the Swiss scene, lacking codes as deeply rooted as the French (historically with homophobic overtones), potentially offers greater openness and acceptance. Despite this, the limitations of the Swiss music industry, the cultural barrier between language regions (Röstigraben), and the lack of a solid infrastructure for urban artists hinder the visibility and economic development of all musicians, including queer ones. The intersections between the queer community and the rap scene, representation in mainstream rap, and artists' personal choices about how and when to communicate their sexual identity are discussed.</p>

<p>The podcast "Madame Talk Europe" explores the lack of visibility of LGBTQIA female rappers in Spain. A Mexican female rapper is interviewed, as well as two experts from the MIM organisation, who work for gender equality in the Spanish music industry. The dialogue reveals a systemic problem of sexism and racism in the Spanish rap scene, where the lack of institutional support and collaborative networks hinders the success of women and racialised artists. Possible solutions are discussed, including quotas, although the need for organic inclusion beyond formal measures is recognised. Finally, the importance of artistic independence in the face of commercial pressures is highlighted.</p>
