Ana Tijoux was born in France to a French mother and a Chilean father in political exile during Pinochet's dictatorship. She retuned to Chile after his regime fell, and became a politically-charged hip-hop singer who has collaborated with people like Mexican rock star Julieta Venegas. The Latin MC brings her wheels of steel to the Greene Space for a live performance.

The guy ruins it. =[
Thank you for introducing me to this amazing artist, Soundcheck!! She's a joy to listen to and she seems like such a sweet heart.
wow, so great to re-live yesterday's show. i'm obsessed with ana now! what a breath of fresh air.
Big ups...this is not sleep inducing. If you love hip-hop and appreciate artists crafting words + rhymes, you would realize that not only is Ana an amazing female emcee...but an amazing EMCEE period rapping in Spanish. Her lyrics are smart, funny, and she can perform live as you can see and hear. Que viva people EXPRESSING + PERFORMING! Ana - keep rocking!

lame lame lame suck suck suck another unoriginal sleepinducing rap act. selected for a sensational backstory. oooooo her parents were political exiles oooooo she grew up in france blahblahblah
I love you Anita you're the best rapper woman of the world i admire your job and music Viva Chile mierda :)
Anna's a fun guest, fractured English and all. Just about impossible to watch the webstream though. The images keep freezing and buffering.
Please join me in saying to entertainers of all races and ages: Hip-Hop! Enough is enough! Stop it! Peace, ya'll.
