Songlines Considers Lido Pimienta’s LP As One Of The Best New Albums

Songlines recently featured Lido Pimienta‘s Miss Colombia on its July 2020 list of “best new albums from around the world.” Writes the site, “Pimienta calls her third album ‘a cynical love letter’ to her home country and the Colombian people. Based in Toronto, she sings about Colombia’s deep social and political troubles, pointing her finger to her fellow countrymen’s passiveness. But instead of sounding enraged by the constant disrespect for indigenous people’s rights, machismo, gender violence or her experience as an immigrant, Pimienta presents an album that is miraculously beautiful and superbly tasteful.” Hear the record and read the feature here.
