Lido Pimienta is an iconoclast who creates music and fine art drawn from her experience as a Caribbean woman from Colombia. Her 2020 release, Miss Colombia, fuses lush electronic synths and pop. Her latest album, La Belleza, is yet another huge leap in creativity for Pimienta – despite her having no classical training, the record features an entire orchestra and choir. Sonically inspired by European classical music and Gregorian chant, Pimienta created La Belleza with Ableton, her MIDI controller and producer Owen Pallett (Sampha, Lana Del Rey, and the Oscar-nominated Her soundtrack).  Pimienta was excited by how this music felt like the opposite of Miss Colombia. “The thought of making ‘classical music’ never occurred to me before, but making experimental electronica on Miss Colombia was not premeditated either,” Pimienta says. “All I create is a natural evolution of my curiosity and stubbornness. 

La Belleza is a symphonic experience that encapsulates why Lido Pimienta is the artist of our moment. Unafraid to explore the depths of her creativity, she produced a haunting, invigorating album that only prompts the question: What will come next? 

Lido Pimienta is originally from Colombia and is currently living in Toronto, Canada. She was awarded a Polaris Prize for her 2017 album La Papessa which was released upon much critical acclaim. In 2020, Pimienta released her breakthrough album Miss Colombia on Anti- Records which was a tribute to her home country and its people. Miss Colombia received praise from The New York Times, NPR, Pitchfork and Remezcla, and was nominated for 2021 GRAMMY and Latin GRAMMY awards. Also in 2021, Pimienta became the first woman of color to compose a piece of music for The New York City Ballet, a collaboration with choreographer Andrea Miller. In 2022 LIDO TV debuted, a sketch comedy show with guest appearances from Kittie and Nelly Furtado. Additionally, Lido Pimienta is cited as an A&R for Furtado’s latest album.
