Copenhagen’s concert week from Thursday, October 29 through Sunday, November 1 begins with a particularly complete proposition: Lido Pimienta at ALICE. The Colombian-Canadian singer, composer and visual artist arrives on Thursday carrying a body of work that makes room for cumbia, dembow, chamber-music detail, electronic production and a voice that can hold all of those materials in the same frame. That breadth is the point of the trip. This is a concert for listeners who want an artist’s catalogue to feel like an expanding map, with dance rhythms, orchestral colour and close-up songwriting sharing the route. ALICE presents the evening with Copenhagen DJ Sound and Fury, whose sets draw together Afro-Latin rhythms and UK bass pressure. It gives the night a local opening act with a meaningful musical connection to the headliner’s terrain.[1][2][3]

The headline is worth taking seriously because Pimienta’s work has moved through several distinct forms while keeping its core questions of ancestry, beauty, identity and belonging in view. Her breakthrough album, La Papessa, won the 2017 Polaris Music Prize, the Canadian award selected by a grand jury for artistic merit. Its alternative-electronic approach and Afro-Colombian reference points established a language she kept widening on 2020’s Miss Colombia, where cumbia and dembow met electropop and chamber arrangements. The later classical project La Belleza grew from Lux Aeterna, her composition for New York City Ballet; the work sharpened her interest in arranging, voice and ceremonial scale. That history gives an ALICE appearance unusual density. A single evening can carry traces of club music, folk memory, pop shape and composed music as parts of one musical vocabulary.[2][3][4]

Caribenya brings the current chapter into focus

The immediate context is Caribenya, Pimienta’s 2026 album. Her label describes it as a meeting point for the lush orchestral thinking of La Belleza, the electro-cumbia foundation associated with Miss Colombia, ambient melody, pop instinct and dembow rhythm. That makes the show especially timely: this is an opportunity to hear an artist present fresh material after a long arc of stylistic accumulation. The record’s title joins “Caribe” and “Enya,” a small clue to the record’s imagined geography, where Caribbean rhythm, reflective atmosphere and melodic reach coexist. Pimienta’s official biography locates her musical roots in Afro-Indigenous rhythms from her native Colombia alongside a DIY sensibility shaped through electropop. Those are useful listening coordinates for a room like ALICE, where a focused audience can register arrangement and texture as clearly as momentum.[2][3]

ALICE is a fitting host because its programme consistently builds evenings around curiosity across borders and forms. The venue’s own presentation of the October 29 concert places Pimienta’s Colombian rhythms and electronic impulses beside large-scale classical arrangements, while the supporting slot for Sound and Fury brings dancehall, jazz, dubstep, soul, reggaeton and jungle into the frame. The pairing forms a considered piece of programming: both artists work with hybrid rhythm vocabularies and cultural movement between places. For a Thursday night at the start of Halloween weekend, that makes a concise case for arriving early and treating the full bill as the event.[1][3]
