Ana Tijoux’s music of protest
Acclaimed MC Ana Tijoux joins The Stream to talk about her musical influences and take your questions.
For Ana Tijoux, music is a powerful form of protest. The French-Chilean hip-hop artist’s songs are a mix of arts and activism, reflecting central issues from the Latin American political left. Listen to her lyrics and you’ll hear about feminism, class struggle, indigenous pride, the fight against neoliberalism, and more. So what impact can protest music have on society? Ana Tijoux joins the conversation at 1930GMT.
