It's hard not to marvel at the strident hip-hop styles of Ana Tijoux. Born in France to exiled Chilean parents, Tijoux returned to Chile in the '90s, cofounding the duo Los Gemelos and contributing to Los Tetas before finding her place with the rap group Makiza, which stood out with its thoughtful rhymes and laid-back beats. She made her solo debut in 2006, finding success and acclaim with her lyrical dexterity and unflappable attitude. Enter the world of a rap original.
