Ana Tijoux @ Bootleg - 2.12.11


My favorite Chilean rapper Ana Tijoux is making her long-awaited return to the Bootleg Theater on Saturday, February 12th, providing a perfect pre-valentine's evening for you and your special someone. You can even add my favorite of her tracks, Partir De Cero, on your lovetape...it may not be a love song but maybe your lover doesn't understand spanish rap anyways. ok, off with the rant...Ana will be supported by local rapper and host of the venerable wednesday weekly Low End Theory night NoCanDo and a special all-cassette DJ set by Money Mark (of Beastie Boys fame). Here's the video for her single "1977".



Tix available here.
