diggOn the edge of deep song
Juana Molina's new album
On her new CD, Son, Argentinean singer Juana Molina pens a song lyric that defines her music.
La verdad se inventa con suma precisión
y la labor inmensa de la imaginación.
-- La Verdad
This musical poetry is key to experimental music that otherwise is hard to classify.
"Her Brazilian-influenced adventurism can be kaleidoscopic, edgy and exquisite…." wrote a critic in Rolling Stone. A New York Times critic named her second CD, Segundo, to his Top 10 records of 2003.
Son is her first self-produced work, composed in her home studio. Her evocative songs are a finely interwoven mixture of acoustic guitars, percussion touches, electronic textures and innovative vocals.
On Son, the former telenovela actress plays guitar, keyboards, cymbals, gongs, bombo leguero and bass. Molina’s musical experimentations are like musical tide pools: the more one listens, the deeper the waves of sensory beguilement.
(One invents the truth with the sum of precision,
and the immense labor of the imagination.
-- The Truth. )
