Lido Pimienta on Breaking Ground in the World of Dance

Canadian-Colombian singer-songwriter Lido Pimienta has had quite the year. Her 2020 album, Miss Colombia, earned a Latin Grammy Nomination, her first, as well as her first ever Grammy nomination at this year's awards, for Best Latin Rock, Urban, or Alternative Album. More recently, Pimienta became the first female composer of color to create a piece for New York City Ballet, scoring for choreographer Andrea Miller's new work, "sky to hold." She performed her commissioned score, which also marks her first theatrical work, live onstage. Pimienta joins us to discuss, and listen to, her work and achievements from the last year, and preview her upcoming tour.   Events Pimientia will be performing at Terminal 5 on November 15 and 16.
