The singer Anita Tijoux gave an interview to The Clinic within the framework of the promotion of its Next concert at the Movistar Arena, on August 18where he will present Lifehis most recent work.
One of the topics he touched on was the Relationship between artists and the social outbreak of 2019a controversy that arose from the statements of singer Quique Neira (former vocalist of Gondwana), who said he felt “used” by the social movement.
«As an artist –and I speak for myself–, When one sings in a process of popular discontent and aligns oneself with this discontent, takes the microphone and gets on stage, one does it out of conviction. And these convictions are carried on even when one is old. I think that these convictions have to do with the values that one carries,” said the singer.
“So, I never felt usednot at all, but on the contrary, I feel that now is the time to support a lot of processes. There have been many occupations evicted in the middle of winter, also the eviction of the radio station Villa Francefrom the Camilo Cienfuegos football school, a lot of small processes, so now it is more important than ever to go sing there,” he added.
