Ana Tijoux

VIDA
Ana Tijouxʼs album Vida fuses political commentary and personal
reflection, exploring themes like war, feminism, and loss.. Her fifth studio
album, and first since 2014, reflects on the importance of life, joy, and
vitality as forms of resistance. Tijouxʼs music spans various genres,
including hip-hop, reggaeton, and Afrobeats, with collaborations from
artists like Talib Kweli and iLe. Tracks like “Niñx” encourage young
women to embrace joy, while “Busco Mi Nombre” addresses the horrors
of political disappearances in Latin America. Tijoux balances personal
grief with a hopeful message, transforming loss into strength, as seen in
songs like "Tania," a tribute to her late sister. Vida closes with “Fin del
Mundo” ("End of the World"), where she raps and sings about apocalyptic
threats like war, pollution, and drought. Despite the grim themes, she
embraces the chaos, declaring, “If the end of the world is coming, letʼs
dance naked together,” over a techno-disco beat.
