Lido Pimienta Essentials

Lido Pimienta’s music is in constant flux. Drawing on her folk-laden days in Barranquilla and life in her adopted city of Toronto, the alt-pop iconoclast feverishly adds new pieces to her sweeping sonic puzzle. On acclaimed albums like 2016’s La Papessa and 2020’s Miss Colombia, her enthralling, inviting vocals mix with rhythmic claps, restless synths and glitchy interludes alongside dissonant takes on cumbia and beats that reflect her Afro-Colombian roots. On top, she expresses in vivid bursts of social and feminist commentary also come with bracing doses of wit.
