This article is a result of a collaborative project between #AuxSons and Alejandro Abbud Torres Torija<\/a><\/strong>, lecturer at Sciences Po Paris Campus Reims, and regular contributor to #AuxSons. As part of the class \u201cSounds of the world : Music as mirror of the intimate and the collective\u201d, international students from Sciences Po Paris Campus Reims prepared articles presenting contemporary music from different parts of the world in connection with recent socio-political events.<\/em><\/p>\n

Recently, Colombia has been suffering from an economic crisis heightened by the pandemic. With unemployment as high as 17% and a fiscal deficit, the government undertook a new tax reform. In recent weeks, citizens took the streets in protest, which have evolved into a national strike. Despite the violences and despair, Colombians are sending around the world a message of strength and hope. One of these voices is Lido Pimienta, singing from the other side of the continent.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Born in Barranquilla, a city in the Colombian Atlantic coast, Lido grew up surrounded by music, with the cumbia and Afro sounds from her father\u2019s side and indigenous melodies from her mother\u2019s. She then moved to Canada, where she has lived most of her life.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lido Pimienta is the part of Colombia not usually heard of, far away from the winners of beauty pageants or other Colombian musicians. She represents the frequently ignored Afro-Colombian population, and the Wayuu indigenous tribe from the peninsula of la Guajira. She is a queer plastic artist, curator, women and mother. And all of this is portrayed in her Grammy nominated album, Miss Colombia.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
