What is considered classical music? And who gets to decide? The Toronto-based Colombian artist, Lido Pimienta, has recently released her first fully orchestral album "La Belleza". On it, she uses the tools of western classical music but reinterprets them through her own lens celebrating her roots and the "Caribbean sublime".
With her freshly released first full-length the young musician from Bergen enters the scene by setting quite an exclamation mark. It's a concept album that spans the course of a relationship, telling a story of love and loss and how they intertwine. With just the right mixture of emotional honesty and catchy pop production, Moyka kindly invites the listener on this journey. NBHAP author Dan Cromb sheds a bit more light on the record and the artist.
