Rapper Ana Tijoux became famous internationally in 2010 with her album 1977. It was named for the year she was born, in France, to Chilean parents in exile during their home country’s dictatorship. She was a global hip hop star but it’s been 10 years now since she’s put out an album. This year, she’s released her latest, “Vida.” Reporter Gisele Regatao caught up with her recently in New York City.
