¡JUANA MOLINA!

Juana Molina, born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, is a world-renowned singer, songwriter and actress. I fell in love with her album, entitled Son, five or six months before beginning my trip. I spent an entire day researching local Argentine music that resembled what I love listening to at home. Juana Molina's music became my new obsession..this international star's talent is remarkable. Wikipedia says her genres are ambient and electrofolk. I have to agree. The lyrics, melodies and rhythms in her music reflect her Argentine heritage; however, her methods of delivery are nothing more than modern/electronic. This mixture of both modern and folkloric make her especially unique!

One of my favorite songs from the album, Son, is "Rio Seco".

Her newest album, entitled Un día, is also phenomenal! This video is of "Un día", the title track from the album.

..And here is a video that I've created of her performance in Buenos Aires! A surprise to me! My friend Preston saw an advertisement for a Juana Molina concert on the back of a bench one day. I assumed that it was a mistake...an old poster meant to be taken down. Thankfully, I was wrong. I was able to see Juana Molina's performance on March 30th at the Teatro NDAteneo in the center of the city. It proved to be one of the best concerts I've ever been to..and that's hard to say as an avid music lover.
