Ana Tijoux - La Bala (new album)

Some really exciting news from one of my favorite female artists of all time!!! and that's a strong statement cuz there are sooo many:

Nacional Records is proud to announce the January 31st release of Ana Tijoux’s highly anticipated sophomore album ‘La Bala’, the follow-up to her critically acclaimed, GRAMMY nominated debut‘1977’.

The buzz behind ‘La Bala’ has been building since Tijoux’s debut ‘1977’ bubbled up from an underground sensation into mainstream recognition, with features on the hit TV show ‘Breaking Bad’ and the soundtrack to the EA Sports’ videogame FIFA ‘11. Profiled on MTV Tr3s’ “Descubre & Download” and invited to perform on NPR’s influential “Tiny Desk Concert” series, Ana Tijoux’s “1977” was also featured as the iTunes “Single Of The Week” and was one of Radiohead’s Thom Yorke's favorite tracks, with more than 1 million views on YouTube.

Ana Tijoux made her U.S. debut performing at SXSW in 2010, and has since toured the U.S. and Europe extensively, including stops at New York’s Central Park Summerstage, San Francisco’s Outside Lands and Chicago’s Lollapalooza. During GRAMMY weekend, Ana Tijoux performed ‘1977’ with The Roots as her backing band.

The new album’s lead single “Shock” is political testimony to the massive student protests occurring in Chile and around the world.

“Writing this song, I was inspired by these social movements, writing from my perspective as a mother, musician and citizen. I thought it was important to pay homage to these protesters.”

La Bala features 11 new songs from Ana Tijoux, featuring collaborations with Academy Award winning musician Jorge Drexler, Chilean rap crew Solo Di Medina (formerly La Pozze Latina), and Cuban hip-hop group Los Aldeanos. The album was recorded in Tijoux’s hometown of Santiago Chile, and mixed and mastered in Detroit, Michigan.
