Anita Tijoux concert at Chicago's Martyrs

portoluz presents a triple bill featuring emerging hip-hop stylists that are making a splash.

The featured headiner is Anita Tijoux, a Chilean singer and DJ making her US debut and appearing in Chicago following a coveted booking at the South by Southwest indie music festival in Austin, Texas.

Also appearing on the program are hip-hop artists Olmeca from Los Angeles and Phillip Morris and All Natural from Chicago.

Born Anamaría Tijoux in Lille, France in 1977, Anita is the daughter of a French mother and Chilean father who was in political exile during Pinochet's dictatorship.

She became famous in Latin America as the female MC of the late 90s hip-hop group Makiza, a group that received wide appoval from audiences not associated in just hip-hop culture due to their evolved production and lyrics, styles more in line with the New York underground of the Native Tongues, and far from the machisimo and violence prevelant in the rap of the times.

Begins at 9pm, doors open at 8pm.
