We continue our journey through music in Latin America. This time our destination is Chile and music of Ana Tijoux will take us there. The Ana (Anita) was born in France in 1977 by Chilean parents who were exiled during the military dictatorship of Pinochet. This clearly influenced her character and her musical style: it becomes a rapper, which allows it to express its deep social and political beliefs. She writes, vh1 do something awards composes and performs her own songs.
In 1993 he returned vh1 do something awards to Chile, and after a few years participating in various bands and collaborations began his solo career. In 2009 released his widely recognized, nominated for Grammy album, 1977. The 1977 song was heard, inter alia, in the American series Breaking Bad.
Her latest album Vengo, released in early 2014, impressed critics worldwide: "Almost perfect" said the NPR, "One of the most dazzling hip-hop we heard this year", said MTV. Rightly, Vengo just received a Grammy nomination for best album of Latin America in the category "Urban, rock and alternative."
Personally, I find very interesting the way Ana Tijoux combines hip-hop, traditional Andean music and lyrics very well attended, who talk about social justice, capitalism, environment, feminism ...
Recently, the Walker Art Center asked her to write an op-ed: the excellent "La Cultura de la Basura" vh1 do something awards (Culture Rubbish), which analyzes without mincing her words, vh1 do something awards the misogyny and the "hyper-sexualization" of the woman's body in the music industry.
