STEFA* - Born With an Extra Rib

Monte Marin (they/he) (fka stefa marin alarcon) is a genderless, genreless vocalist, composer, educator and multi-media performance artist born and raised in Queens, NY to Colombian immigrants. Using an amalgamation of punk, experimental pop and classical minimalism with queer maximalist aesthetics and video collages, STEFA* builds worlds that offer a somatic decolonial respite for the misfits, the displaced and future generations of Brown and Indigenous radical artists of the diaspora.

Their 2024 debut LP 'BORN WITH AN EXTRA RIB' “is an operatic biomythography for the diasporic and dysphoric, longing to find a body & a place to call home. A cinematic-performance ritual inviting the audience to be remade beyond colonial gender and genre, Born With an Extra Rib takes us on an intimate spiral of epic scale where we are able to mourn who we were and clear the way for who we are to become.”
