LIDO PIMIENTA’S MISS COLOMBIA (ANTI-) OUT ODAY – FRIDAY 17th APRIL
ANNOUNCES PITCHFORK IG LIVE APPEARANCE FOR THIS FRIDAY AT 8PM ET
Watch her COLORS performance of “Nada”
Lido Pimienta’s sophomore album Miss Colombia (ANTI-) was featured as an exclusive NPR First
Listen in advance of Friday’s official release date. Preview the album and read a feature that posted with the First Listen here: https://www.npr.org/2020/04/13/831603525/first-listen-lido-pimienta-miss-colombia
Says NPR: “Miss Colombia — which deftly mixes folk genres like cumbia, bullerengue and porro
with modern and orchestral production — takes a thread and needle from Pimienta’s heart to a
country that doesn’t always love her back.”
The First Listen is the latest in a growing list of highlights in celebration of Miss Colombia. The
songs released over the past two months have been featured on NPR’s Top Songs of
February & New York Times’ weekly playlist – who called it “a substantial cultural statement” –
alongside additional co-signs from Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Nylon, Fader, Billboard, i-D,
Refinery29, Stereogum, Brooklyn Vegan, Cool Hunting, and beyond. Pitchfork also included it in
the Most Anticipated Albums of Spring preview.
On Friday, release day, Lido will be taking over Pitchfork’s Instagram Live at 8pm ET to perform
songs from the album from her home. The performance will direct viewers to a GoFundMe
page that is collecting resources for Wayuu families quarantined in Colombia due to the
coronavirus pandemic.
Lido has previously released music videos from the album for “Eso Que Tu Haces,” and “Nada,” a collaboration with Li Saumet of Bomba Estereo.
Watch “Eso Que Tu Haces”
Lido is an interdisciplinary musician and artist that has been praised by NPR Music, Pitchfork,
Fader, Noisey, Remezcla, Stereogum, Rolling Stone and featured on the cover of Toronto’s NOW
Magazine. She has been a speaker at Red Bull Music Academy, creates visual art and is working
on a graphic novel, has shared stages with Cuco, Helado Negro and Austra, and recently
performed at Hollywood Forever Cemetery’s Dia de los Muertos celebration.
