On Tuesday, April 15 at 7:30 pm, Lincoln Center presents American Songbook -Ana Tijoux at David Geffen Hall.
It has been nearly a decade since the GRAMMY-nominated and Latin GRAMMY Award-winning emcee Ana Tijoux dropped her critically acclaimed album Vengo, a “dazzling” (NPR) blend of Hip-Hop and Andean traditional sounds. In the years between, the French-Chilean rapper and songwriter has released over 15 singles, coped with the sadness of profound personal loss, and grown significantly as an artist. Her long-awaited new LP, 2024’s aptly-named Vida, featuring guest turns from Talib Kweli and iLe, displays Tijoux’s development boldly with songs that “weave activism, emotional and spiritual growth… offered freely and generously” (AllMusic). In a concert that brings South America to the American Songbook, Tijoux and her live band spotlight the intricate arrangements laced throughout Vida, alongside other hits from her catalog, for a whirlwind trip through the worlds of rap, jazz, Latin folk, and funk, all tinted with unvarnished emotion and a sharp sense of humor.
