Miss Columbia

Description

Powerful writing and committed melodies – Lido Pimienta is a complete artist, who describes her own music as "Pop Satanico." This is satanic pop designed to question and awaken minds and consciences. Lido Pimienta is a musician and multidisciplinary artist born in Colombia and based in Toronto. She has toured the world since 2002, exploring gender and race politics, motherhood, identity, and the construction of the Canadian landscape within the Latin American diaspora. Her new album, *Miss Colombia*, takes her ecstatic hybridity to a new level, building on the intersection of electronica and cumbia established by her Polaris Music Prize-winning 2016 album *La Papessa*, which was named Canadian Album of the Year. Lido Pimienta's multi-textured and twisted-spirited voice and music project what Canada's *Globe and Mail* has called her "bold, fiery, and polarizing" persona, which constantly confronts the powers that be. Produced with Matt Smith, a/k/a Prince Nifty, *Miss Colombia* is brimming with a discreet genius that promises extraordinary success.
