Życiorys
editSara Hebe Merino was born on 9 July 1983 in Trelew, Argentina, in the province of Chubut. The singer's mother and grandmother passed on her love of poetry, which later influenced the direction of young Hebe's artistic way.[4] From an early stage in her education, the artist was inspired by the attitude and output of Hebe de Bonafini and Estela de Carlotto:
Escucharlas te conmueve o no te conmueve. A mí me conmovió, me cambió la cabeza, me hizo pararme desde un lugar nuevo y desde ahí me puse a escribir, actuar, trabajar. Posicionada en ese lugar del sistema productivo e ideológico.
— Sara Hebe, “Me cansé de opinar, no quiero repetirme”, Interview with Pikara Magazine
In 2001, Sara Hebe began studying law in Buenos Aires, which she ultimately dropped out of. She began to take dance and theatre classes: for two years she trained in hip-hop and dancehall dance with choreographer Marita Amendola; she also completed a theatre workshop led by Norman Briski.[5] In 2007, she began to compose her first songs, creating lyrics and music based on beats found on the Internet.
She released her first album in 2009 and its title, 'La Hija del Loco', referred to the nickname the young Hebe used in Chubut.[6]
In January 2010, she was invited by the 'Free Culture Collective' of the World Social Forum in Porto Alegre, and in October of the same year, the 'Revolución de Caracas' collective in Venezuela, invited her to represent Argentina at the fifth International Hip-Hop Summit.
Since the beginning of her professional career, Sara Hebe has collaborated with Ramiro Jota, an Argentinian DJ and music producer. The artist performs mainly in South and Central America and has toured twice in Europe.[7][8]
Sara Hebe is a lesbian committed to defending the rights of the LGBT community through her work.[9] The rapper has been linked to Flor Linyera, singer and keyboardist of the group 'Kumbia Queers'.[6]
