Ana Tijoux is the Chilean hip-hop protester. Her cover letter could well be what media outlets like Rolling Stone who chose her as the best rapper in Spanish, The New York Times who points to her as the Latin American response to Lauryn Hill, or magazines like Newsweek who ranks her as the most important Latin American rapper on the international scene. Ana Tijoux was born in Lille in 1977. Her parents went into exile during Augusto Pinochet's dictatorship in Chile, which has left a mark on her career, marked by a special sensitivity to political and social issues. Her music dialogues to the sound of hip hop, fused. A feminist and activist in her lyrics, she denounces social and cultural deficiencies. In favor of women's rights and against gender violence, in 2014 she highlighted in her album "Vengo" the song "Antipatriarch". They frequently participate in campaigns against inequality and oppression in the world. Tijoux is committed to defending women's rights and has denounced gender violence and inequality. Also the inequality faced by artists in the world of cinema, or singers.
