Lido Pimienta, London-based Polaris Music Prize winning composer, vocalist, curator and boundary bending interdisciplinary artist will perform selections from La Belleza Caribenya, her new double album to be released this July.
In La Belleza, which means beautiful in Spanish, Lido creates classical music from a Caribbean point of view. What started as an experiment relying on technology grew to be a sublime experience of belonging and growth with Lido creating live orchestrations assisted by her mentor and arranger, Owen Pallett.
In Caribenya, a play on words in Spanish that combines the Caribe Indigenous people and Enya, the Irish experimental singer, Lido sees herself as the Caribbean Enya, who embodies the beauty of the islands and its peoples.
