“Ms. Tijoux is South America’s answer to Lauryn Hill: equally skillful at singing and rapping and determined to empower everyone, not just herself.” —New York Times

Chile’s hip-hop heroine known for her fierce raps about feminism, freedom, and social justice makes her debut performance in Minnesota. Ana Tijoux’s music tracks beats and samples from across the Americas dipping deep into Andean charangos, pan flutes, reggae, and R&B.

Born and raised in France to exiled Chilean parents escaping the Pinochet dictatorship, Tijoux returned to Chile after the reinstatement of civil power in 1993. She was soon revered as a national phenomenon for both her social commentaries that flow out as rapid-fire tongue twisters and her reputation for matching wits and will with her male counterparts.

Local hip-hop artist Maria Isa opens the evening with her signature “Sota-Rican” style honoring both her Minnesotan and Puerto Rican heritage.

This all-standing club concert is copresented with the Cedar.
