Female power is a dominant theme in the Colombian-born Canadian musician Lido Pimienta's latest album "La Papessa" ("The High Priestess"), which covers issues including single motherhood, feminism and migration.

A radiant mix of traditional Latin American influences and electronic synth-pop, "La Papessa" was Pimienta's 2016 self-released breakthrough project.

The album went on to win Canada's top music honour, the Polaris Music Prize, and was the first such win for a Spanish-language album in Canada.

The Stream speaks to Lido Pimienta about the forces that drive her music.
