StatementArgentinean singer Juana Molina's United States debut 'Segundo' quietly but surely worked its way into play lists of discerning listeners. A mixture of acoustic guitars, traditional percussion touches, electronic textures and her disarming vocals, it stands as one of the most evocative and original albums in recent memory. Juana Molina is not easily classified - as her music blurs lines between simple categorization. The press agreed, as National Public Radio's "All Things Considered" program praised her and Entertainment Weekly named 'Segundo' "Best World Music Album of 2003".

2004's follow-up 'Tres Cosas' was equally revered, as Jon Pareles of the New York Times named it a top 10 record of the year. Two years worth of touring followed, including runs with Savath & Savalas, David Byrne, Belle and Sebastian, and Sam Prekop and appearances at Coachella and the Montreal Jazz Festival. In the spring of 2006, she released her new self-produced album 'Son'.
