Lido Pimienta is a Toronto-based, Colombian-born musician, interdisciplinary artist, and curator. Seit 2002 tritt sie in der ganzen Welt auf, stellt aus und kuratiert, wobei sie sich mit der Thematik von Geschlecht, Rasse, Mutterschaft, Identität und der Konstruktion der kanadischen Landschaft in der lateinamerikanischen Diaspora und im Volksmund beschäftigt.

Her latest album Miss Colombia takes her ecstatic hybridity to a new level, building on the “nu” intersection of electronica and cumbia established by her first two albums, Color, released in 2010, and the 2017 Polaris Prize-winning La Papessa, as Canadian album of the year. Miss Colombia has only continued to grow Lido’s presence, with the album garnering multiple award nominations including a 2020 Latin Grammy nomination for Best Alternative Music Album, and
a 2021 Grammy nomination for Best Latin Rock, Urban or Alternative Album.

Produced with Matt Smith, a/k/a Prince Nifty, Miss Colombia overflows with understated genius and continues to chart Pimienta’s evolution into an independent woman and artist who refuses to fit into pre-conceived notions of what a pop Latina artist ought to be.

Support: DJ Bamboo (Renan Martins) is originally from Rio de Janeiro, BR. Dancer, choreographer and DJ, he lives between Porto (PT) and Heidelberg (DE). Since 2018 he is a member of Sekoia Artes Performativas in Porto, making his own work, performing for other choreographers such as Meg Stuart and facilitating workshops in different venues in Europe and Brazil. He was launched as DJ under the support of DJ Farofa (Kebraku Collective) in Portugal, and has played in different parties in Porto, Berlin, Essen, Rio de Janeiro and Prague. His tunes are a celebration of the periphery, of non white logic lives. Extremely pelvic, his set is a collage of nostalgic tunes together with Brazilian funk, reggaeton, cumbia and arabic pop songs in a non stop trancy tantric trip.
