SXSW
Ana Tijoux made her American debut in Austin at SXSW this past year. Tijoux was born in France to a French mother and Chilean father in political exile. Her music and sound reflects her upbringing in both countries. She told the Chron, “I’m very nostalgic about hip-hop,” she said. “I love the sound of that time. I was a little worried that people would think (1977) was not very moderno. But then I thought, ‘Aw, what the hell. I get to make what I want right now.’ I wanted to make a simple record like the simple records that I like.”
Her song 1977 is NPR’s Song of the Day today. Video is posted after the jump.
