Ana Tijouxʼs album Vida fuses political commentary and personal reflection, exploring themes like war, feminism, and loss.. Her fifth studio album, and first since 2014, reflects on the importance of life, joy, and vitality as forms of resistance. Tijouxʼs music spans various genres, including hip-hop, reggaeton, and Afrobeats, with collaborations from artists like Talib Kweli and iLe. Tracks like “Niñx” encourage young women to embrace joy, while “Busco Mi Nombre” addresses the horrors of political disappearances in Latin America. Tijoux balances personal grief with a hopeful message, transforming loss into strength, as seen in songs like “Tania,” a tribute to her late sister. Vida closes with “Fin del Mundo” (“End of the World”), where she raps and sings about apocalyptic threats like war, pollution, and drought. Despite the grim themes, she embraces the chaos, declaring, “If the end of the world is coming, letʼs dance naked together,” over a techno-disco beat.
