Happy Friday From Ana Tijoux!

I first heard Ana Tijoux when my brother called me over to his computer and said, “Hey, Sari, check this out.” My jaw dropped, but since I was on deadline, I had to ignore it. Once I did have a chance to go back and really listen to Tijoux’s music, I was amazed.

Tijoux has an interesting background, her parents fled Augusto Pinochet in Chile and so she grew up in France. In the 1990s she was part of a hip hop group, Makiza, and recently she released the album, 1977. The title track is my favorite song, but there are some other good ones, too. So here they are — happy Friday!
