Synopsis

Product Description
Ana Tijoux is regarded as one of Latin America's leading female MCs. She has been nominated by the MTV Latin America VMAs for "Best New Artist" and "Best Urban Artist." Tijoux has been featured on tracks by Bajofondo, Control Machete and DJ Bitman. But it was a Julieta Venegas collaboration which helped expose her to the mainstream. With '1977,' Tijoux proves her abilities as a true rapera through sophisticated lyrics, a hypnotic jazzy voice and dynamic beats. The new album paints a picture of her childhood in France and pays homage to early 90s hip-hop that influenced her as a teen in Chile.

Great Sounds, Beats and Lyrics
Florencio Carlos | LA, CA | 05/03/2010

"Heard about her on NPR. Interesting background which greatly influences her sound and lyrics. Previewed a few of her songs and decided to buy the album... So Far, im pretty impressed.... Intelligent lyrics without that modern-day hip hop meaningless "bling jibberish" feel if that makes any sense."
Good

"I heard this on NPR too and on a whim ordered it. I am not a hip hop fan or a rap person, but I do like tracks I and II. I don't speak Spanish but my wife who is fluent assures me that the lyrics are well written and have a positive message. I was hoping for more French Lyrics, and I think only one song has them? Ana has a very strong voice and is quite capable. I would like to see how she sings too. If you like International hip hop, I think you will like this CD."
Excuse moi, parle Espanol?

"I was a little frustrated by the album for 2 reasons: 1) Her words don't rise above the instrumentation and it's hard to get the message if it's lost in the music. 2)Tijoux also sounds like she is not a native Spanish speaker, which again makes it hard to understand what she is saying. I do respect the fact that she began to rap because todays rap music has no substance and she has plenty and plenty to say....I wish some one at the record label had told her we can't hear her."
