Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Family name hatnote Шаблон:For Шаблон:Infobox musical artist Alicia Dal Monte Campuzano (born 28 June 1977), better known by her stage name as Alika, is an Uruguayan–Argentine rapper, singer, songwriter, and reggae musician. She is better known for heading the reggae act Alika & Nueva Alianza.
Background
Alicia Dal Monte Campuzano was born on 28 June 1977 in Montevideo, Uruguay, daughter of a Paraguayan mother and a Uruguayan father.[1] When she was six years old, her family moved to Argentina and settled in the town of El Jagüel, Buenos Aires Province.[2] Later in life, she would take up residence in San Martín, Buenos Aires.[3]
Musical career
In 1994, she formed the duo Шаблон:Ill alongside Malena D'Alessio. The duo became one of the earliest female rap bands in Argentina and Latin America in general. In 1995, the duo were recognized as the "Revelation Band" by Clarín's Sí magazine.[4] Actitud María Marta released a single album, Acorralar a la Bestia, in 1996 under Polygram records. Alika would leave the duo following their album's release, and subsequently grew closer to reggae and Rastafari culture.[5]
In 1999, she started her solo project, inspired by Rastafari philosophy. Her lyrics reflected themes of respect, dignity, oppression under the Western capitalist system, realizations of self-worth, and life in the Third World in general and working-class neighborhoods in particular. Alongside MC Boomer, among other producers, she produced her first solo album No Dejes que te paren (released 2001 under Indie) in Chile. 2001 was also the year she began performing live. In 2003, she released Sin Intermediarios, and, in 2006, she released Razón Meditación Acción.[4]
In 2013, her collaboration with Argentine cumbia band La Liga, "Yo Tengo el Don", was featured in the video game Grand Theft Auto V, as part of the fictional East Los FM radio station in the game.[6]
