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

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 París, pero
creo que no tuvo kilombo con la politica. Juana vivio
tambien en Francia. Algun dato podes sacar del sitio del
padre. chau
