yeah, 'tis quite nice... i heard some playing on the radio when i was at the station looking through the music library the other day... you should be able to find it on soulseek so long as you use the spelling "juana" as opposed to "joana"... but it can't just be "molina", otherwise you'll just get a whole bunch of songs:ohia...

huh, looks like she's pretty popular...not everyone gets to be reviewed on bbc :)
Juana Molina Segundo (Domino)
A few words: Engaging folk music. Off-centre electronica. A little edginess. A brush of guitar. A hum of synths. A pleasant wall of sound. An air of Latin moods. One of the most innovative albums for a while. And here's the twist in the tale. It's not from London, New York or Paris but......Buenos Aires.
Juana Molina is a Buenos Aires born singer/songwriter who bizarrely found much success on Argentinean TV as a comedienne. A six-year hiatus in Paris is sure to have expanded her musically. One of the fruits of her Parisian stay is this, her second album, which provides a delightful mix of acoustic soul, off-kilter electronica and touches of Latin.
Segundo works brilliantly well for its different moods and textures. It mixes soft hues of light blues of moody electronica to bold, bright reds of punishing synths, heavy dancebeats and a nervous electronica energy. It's easy on the ear and commercial enough to enjoy on a first listening but with enough depth to discover new sounds on repeated listens.
The album is quite cinematic in its feel. "El Perro" rings of a lazy walk in boho New York. If it were a film it would be a quirky little independent b-movie while "El Desconfiado" hints at an epic, widescreen affair. Two of the many highlights on the album include the springy, acoustic bliss of "Quiero" and the majestic "Que llueva" with its joyous, folky feel which has a warm, summer breeze of Joni Mitchell-type vocals.
I like the little tricks the songs contain. A confident march of drums starts off "Mantra del Biocho Feo", gaining pace with a rush of stirring electronic beats which comes across like Aphex Twin meets the Gotan Project. The track ends on a high, with funky percussion....but then after a few seconds of quiet the listener is subdued by a few seconds of the dawn chorus.
Quite simply this album is a must-have. It's a world music album embracing the new as we

Quite simply this album is a must-have. It's a world music album embracing the new as well as respecting the traditions of the old, and pushes Argentinean music into the premier league. Segundo could well go on to huge commercial success à la St.Germain and The Gotan Project.

I never heard of her before but i really like all the tracks off of her site, thanks chaps, i will look for her album, they might even have it over in this neck of the woods.
I wish they didn't use the dreaded term "world music" in that review though. World Music far outstrips the term IDM as a Very Bad Idea.

it doesn't sound anything like world music to me...more like beth hirsch.
im listening to this on repeat for like an hour already...awesome stuff. apperantly they don't have the new album on stock here in europe yet, so i've ordered it from US...and it seems to be cheaper there too.

once again my skills in being reminded of twenty things by one apply.
this sounds like a spanish Sigur Ros remixing Kim Hiorthøy in collaboration with Yuichiro Fujimoto... in other words, I kind of like it.

Juana Molina is daughter of Horacio Molina (a very good singer of the 60s). He has recorded a very nice couple of Tango CDs on the 90s, and has influenced her style.
Her mother is "Chunchuna" Villafañe, mannequin and actress, later married to Director Pino Solanas ("La Hora de los Hornos, " El exilio de Gardel", "Sur".... That's the reason why they had to go to Paris during the Militar Government.
Chunchuna worked on "La Historia Oficial" ("The Official Story") who won the Oscar on 1986 as Best Foreign Film.
So Juana has an important artistic background, and started on TV with Antonio Gasalla, a very importan comediant.

horacio molina has a site (www.horaciomolina.com.ar). He's alive and still singing.
Para IMDEX, en criollo: Chunchuna andaba con Pino Solanas y se tuvo que rajar . Molina tambien vivio en ParÃs, pero creo que no tuvo kilombo con la politica. Juana vivio tambien en Francia. Algun dato podes sacar del sitio del padre. chau
