“On one level, Pimienta is recollecting intimate relationships; on another, she’s calling entire countries to task for their failure to protect black and brown women.”—PitchforkDon’t miss a concert and conversation with <a href="https://lidopimienta.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Lido Pimienta</a>, winner of the Polaris Music Prize, Canada’s highest musical honor. The Colombian-born, Toronto-based global beats trailblazer’s songs are at once defiant and delicate, exploratory and confrontational, and dig deeply into the history of Afro-Latin musics, from Palenque to Cumbia. Pimienta’s latest album, Miss Colombia, was partly inspired by the Miss Universe gaffe in 2015, when Steve Harvey mistakenly awarded the crown to Miss Colombia instead of Miss Philippines. It caused the Afro-Indigenous, queer feminist to reflect on the anti-Blackness she has experienced, and how she was viewed as an outsider in adolescence for not adhering to the expected norms projected upon her. Other songs confront divisive politics in Colombia, Indigenous inequality, and racism.<a href="https://visionsandvoices.usc.edu/eventdetails/?event_id=40246283636090&s_type=&s_genre=" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Click here to learn more. </a>
