About

Anita (or Anita) Tijoux is the stage name for Anamaría Merino, a French-born hip-hop/pop musician from Santiago, Chile who rose to prominence in the late 1990s after returning to Chile following the country's return to democracy. Beginning her career in Chile as a rapper in both French and Spanish, she would spend nearly a decade promoting herself as a bona-fide hip-hop artist and collaborator before releasing her first solo mainstream pop album, Kaos, in 2007 to widespread critical and audience acclaim.
