Anamaría—sometimes Ana, sometimes Anita—Tijoux Merino was born in Lille, France to a Chilean family.  Politically exiled during the Pinochet dictatorship, her social-worker mother regularly brought her daughter to the office in France. It was there that Tijoux fell in love with hip-hop and picked up anti-colonialist philosophies. After moving back to Chile, Tijoux joined other immigrant artists to start the hip-hop group Machika. Since 2006, she has flourished with her own solo career, blending hip-hop with other South American instruments and sounds like those of acoustic indigenous Quechua music or traditional Latin cumbia. SuenaTron and Fulminante share the bill.
