HELADO NEGRO

Roberto Carlos Lange, the musician known as Helado Negro, began writing his epic double-album, Far In immediately following the release of his acclaimed 2019 This is How You Smile. In March 2020, Lange set off for Marfa, TX for a two-week residency that ended up lasting all summer. During this time, he wrote songs in gratitude to the desert expanse, immersion in nature, and the feel of mineral-rich spring waters. Imagined beings, ghosts, haunted machines, atmospheres, and doubles appear throughout his compositions, weaving together science fiction and autobiographical narrative. Heavy, pulsing, rhythms drive through a dystopian landscape, but as Lange sings of endless psychological restrictions, the shimmering radiance of expanded realms bursts through. 

“Escape is never out there, you have to go inward,” Lange reflects on developing a Helado Negro album during these extraordinary times. Inspired by his time out West, his songs unapologetically look forward and articulate love’s urgency in the current state of the world. Lange’s faith in survival persists in the sheer buoyancy of the drum beat, soaring and plucky synth and string arrangements, and his voice climbing new registers. The ultimate effect suggests embracing the dark of the unknown with openness, pleasure, and growth, rather than tuning out beneath monumental forces and anxieties. 

“Some of these songs are about facing anxieties,” Lange says, “talking about the end, allows us to begin knowing how to deal with the end.” (Bio by Emily Mello.)

LIDO PIMIENTA

Lido Pimienta is a Colombian-born, Toronto-based global beats trailblazer. Her album La Papessa was awarded the 2017 Polaris Music Prize. 

Lido recorded her new, highly anticipated album, Miss Columbia in her home studio and in the historic Colombian town of San Basilio de Palenque. Created as a canvas for introspection and to bring her closer to home, Miss Colombia boasts 11 new original songs written and arranged by Lido and co-produced with Matt Smith aka Prince Nifty. Boldly celebrating musical hybridity, the album is both electronic and cumbia, defiant and delicate, exploratory and confrontational. Digging deeply into the history of Afro-Latin musics, Miss Colombia features collaborators Li Saumet of Bomba Estereo as well as Sexteto Tabala, one of the most representative musical expressions of the African communities in Colombia. 

Titled in reference to the 2015 Miss Universe gaffe when Steve Harvey mistakenly awarded the crown to Miss Colombia instead of Miss Philippines, Miss Colombia reflects on Lido’s personal experiences with anti-blackness, love, self-love, loss, politics in Colombia, Indigenous inequality, and racism. An outsider in adolescence, Lido was known as a "weird artistic tomboy" for not adhering to expected norms and identifying as an Afro-Indigenous, queer feminist. She has an affinity for acts like A Tribe Called Red and Inuk throat singer Tanya Tagaq, but her work also resonates with British-Sri Lankan rapper MIA and she draws unabashed inspiration from the New York-bred Dominican-Trinidadian rap queen Cardi B.
