- www.democracynow.org - Chilean hip-hop artist and musician Ana Tijoux joins Democracy Now! in studio to perform some of her songs and talk about the political themes behind them. Tijoux was born in France in 1977 to parents who were jailed and later fled Chile under the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet. "Hip-hop is the land of the people that don't have a land," she says.
Tijoux returned to Chile in 1993 and in the late 1990s became known as part of the hip-hop group Makiza. As a solo artist, she has collaborated with musician Julieta Venegas on the hit song "Eres Para Mi," had her song "1977" featured on the TV series "Breaking Bad," and won multiple nominations for both the Grammys and Latin Grammys. Her work explores topics frequently heard on Democracy Now!, from the words of Uruguayan author Eduardo Galeano to the secretive Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal.
In this interview, Tijoux performs a musical set, including "Antipatriarca," off her latest album, "Vengo," and "Shock," a song inspired by Naomi Klein's book, "The Shock Doctrine." She talks about motherhood, feminism and her collaboration with Palestinian hip-hop artist Shadia Mansour on the song "Somos Sur," or "We Are the South."

I adore Ana Tijoux becuase she is an inspiration to me, not only as a Woman of Color, but as a human being trying to better this world through her activism and her music. Thanks democracynow for sharing this!
I'm way more colorful than you.
Ana es genial, un orgullo para latinoamerica, espero poder verla en Argentina pronto!
Thank you very much Democracy Now. Ana Tijoux is not just a Great Musician, she is a Beautiful, and most wonderful Phylosophical & Political Mind. Her song "Obstaculo" not only saved my life, but gave me the at most MORAL boost & support... I carried forward vs. The "Obstacle" "The Family law court system" as a Childless Father fighting to remain relevant in my 2 sons Lives.
Anita make us Chilean proud. Great interview.
I fell in love with the music of Ana Tijoux from the sound alone. Now that i have been educated a bit I love her even more.

Greetings from Europe
jajajaja I love how obviously threatened some men get by strong feminists like Ana Tijoux. Not only is she a feminist, she understands how race class gender y sexuality intersect. Y she spits fuego!
Yo ya soy un gran fan de Anita. Que viva el movimiento. Ft. Worth Tx
She's just adorable and her music so wildly inspirational! ❤️❤️
I love her so muchhhhh
One day I had the chance to meet her, she is a nice person until we took a selfie. What I remember most is that day she did a concert with free ticket, so I didn't have to pay anything for coming in.
Grande Anita Tijoux!! Me encantas tu y tu musica !!!
Big Up Ana! Eres seca! Love from Oslo!
MUCHAS GRACIAS DEMOCRACY NOW
Me encanta que no puede evitar decir "como". Best rapper I've heard in a long time.
Anita y Galeano. Todo un orgullo artístico de Latinoamérica.
Idola
English Translate shock
Venom: your monologues,
your colorless speeches,
you don't see that we AREN'T alone,
millions from pole to pole!
To the sound of a single chorus,
we will march with the tone,
with the conviction that THE THIEVING STOPS!!
Your state of control,
your corrupt throne of gold,
your politics and your wealth,
and your treasure, no.
The hour has struck, the hour has struck
We will allow NO MORE, no more your doctrine of shock
The hour has struck, the hour has struck (doctrine of shock)
The hour has struck, the hour has struck (doctrine of shock)
The hour has struck, the hour has struck (doctrine of shock)
The hour has struck, the hour has struck
NO nations, only corporations,
who has more, more actions,
fat slices, powerful decisions for very little.
Pinochetan^ constitution,
opus dei rights, fascist books.
Guerilla disguised as a pardoned elitist,
the drop falls, the stocks fall, the occupation takes the broken machine.
the street doesn't keep quiet, the street scratches
the street doesn't keep quiet, as wide as it is.
They take everything, sell everything,
make a profit from everything, life, death,
it's all business.
I eat you all, seed, (pascuala?), methods and choruses.
Venom: your monologues,
your colorless speeches,

(Some people talk.)
Hit for hit, kiss for kiss,
with wishes and nourishment
with ashes, with the fire of the present, remembering,
with certainty and ripping, with the clear objetive,
with memory and with the history of the future, it's NOW!
Everything: this trial tube,
everything: this daily laboratory,
everything: this failure, everything: this condemned economic model from dinosaur times.
Everything is criminalized, everything is justified in the news,
they get rid of everything, walk all over everything, open a file on everything and classify it.
But...your politics and your tactics,
your typical smile and ethics.
Your manipulated communiqué
How many of them were silenced?
Cops, hoses and lumas*,
cops, hoses and tunas**,
cops, hoses, DON'T ADD UP.
How many were those who stole the fortunes?
Venom: your monologues,
your colorless speeches,

just a comment:
when she says "luma", she's refering to the police truncheon; and when she says "tuna", she means "gun" (slang).
Thank you, I appreciate you both.
