May 04, 2012. Phoenix, AZ - South American Hip-Hop star and Grammy-nominated artist, Ana Tijoux, will perform a Women in Resistance AltoArizona concert with Puente and NDLON to protest anti-immigrant policies in Arizona and to honor mothers who are part of the powerful human rights movement in the state.
The rising star will offer the donation-based concert as part of her fourth US tour. She will be joined by local act Cihuatl Ce.
The daughter of Chilean exiles who fled Pinochet's dictatorship, Tijoux relates personally to the situation in Maricopa County. The concert is the next in the AltoArizona series hosted by Puente Arizona and the National Day Laborer Organizing Network after September's Manu Chao performance.
"Women disproportionately suffer the impact of Arizona's immigration policies and we're also leading the movement to defend and expand our rights," explains Sandra Castro of Puente Arizona. "We're excited Ana Tijoux will perform with us in Phoenix. She's a hero for many of us and provides an example and a soundtrack for those who nod their head to her beats and her lyrics. There's no better way to spend Mothers' Day than honoring the women of Maricopa County who are struggling to keep their families together. "
The concert will be 6:00pm May 13 at 1306 E. Van Buren
