Pat Boy with Báat Paax
U yik’el ak t’aan (the voice of the word)
Quintana Roo
Pat Boy’s songs draw inspiration from the daily life of the Maya people, their traditions, and their language, which endures through pride in their heritage. He transforms rap into a song of identity, telling stories of love, violence, the jungle, and the dreams of new generations. Since his first track, Vidas mayas, he has championed the rap genre, challenging stereotypes and demonstrating that music can educate, inspire, and foster cultural pride.
More than just a concert, his music becomes a memory, a form of resistance, and a celebration of the untold history of the Maya communities. Each verse unites urban energy with ancestral heritage by blending the rhythm of the streets with the power of the ancestors; it is clear that this culture is here, vibrant and transforming the present.
Profiles
‘When I started rapping in Mayan, I began to learn more about my culture, more about where I come from and where I’m from, because how you approach this genre depends on each individual.’
— Pat Boy
‘Pat Boy is not just any rapper, but an artist with a mission to promote and preserve his native Mayan language, as well as the rich culture of his state.’
