    CHICAGO SHOWCASES CHILEAN RAPPER ANA TIJOUX


     Ana Tijoux is a Chilean rapper whose popularity is rising with every new release. Her latest album, La Bala, proves that you don't have to understand the language to be able to relate to the music, which speaks to your ears using a combination of hip-hop and jazz. The first and title track "La Bala" sucks you in with a marching snare beat and gun sounds, and unlike the "cool" recruiters that visit local high schools, you may actually want to join this army. Many songs feature a 90's hip-hop sound--specifically "Desclasificado", which was created for cruisin' in your car. Despite several songs featuring other artists--Tijoux is at her best when flying solo. Her confidence and soothing voice is no contest to the accompanying musicians that mostly contribute to choruses and backing vocals. "Quizas" ft. Monica Blaire uses english as well as spanish creating a bi-lingual r&b groove while "Si Te Preguntan" ft. Los Aldeanos carries true to popular spanish music today. With a grammy nomination from her last project, 1977, and now, an even better album under her belt, let's see if this lands her a win in the future.

    Ana Tijoux will be at Empty Bottle Sunday, July 22nd
    and Downtown Sound: Free Millennium Park Concert Series Monday, July 23rd
