Lido Pimienta

Award-winning Colombian Canadian artist Lido Pimienta transforms The Ford with an immersive live performance centered around her groundbreaking new album La Belleza. Blending orchestral arrangements, electronic textures, choral soundscapes, and Afro-Caribbean influences, Pimienta creates a haunting and deeply emotional musical world unlike anything else in contemporary music today.

Inspired by classical composition and Gregorian chant yet built through experimental production tools and fearless artistic intuition, La Belleza represents a striking evolution for the internationally acclaimed artist behind Miss Colombia and the Polaris Prize-winning La Papessa.

Known for her powerful storytelling and visionary performances, Pimienta’s work explores identity, ancestry, migration, feminism, and cultural memory with equal parts tenderness and defiance. The result is a live experience that feels both ancient and futuristic, intimate and monumental.
