ANA TIJOUX – "VIDA" TOUR

Ana Tijoux has decided to call her fifth studio album ‘Vida’, which means ‘life’ in Spanish. The Franco-Chilean rapper and activist explains that the idea came to her from a clown friend who does his best to make people laugh in refugee camps: ‘He said that the best revenge against death is life itself’.
An emblematic figure in Latin rap, Ana Tijoux made a name for herself with her group Makiza before embarking on a solo career. Born in France, after her parents were forced into exile under the Chilean dictatorship, the activist and committed performer displays an unbridled energy on stage.
Inspired by the hip-hop sounds of the 90s, jazz and funk, she colours her rap with Latin rhythms and Chilean folk sounds. Sung in Spanish, her lyrics deal with social inequalities, everyday life and politics, not without a touch of humour. A dancing call to resistance.
On tracks that mix pop, traditional music and hip-hop, Ana Tijoux twirls her words in a flow that is instantly recognisable. The rapper is back with ‘Vida’, an album that is as contemporary in form as it is in content, and which she is defending on an international tour.
