Though she found her fame as a comedian, Molina's first passion was music. She began playing guitar at age five and was witness to her father's -- tango player Horacio Molina -- collaborations with some of the greatest Brazilian musicians of the day, and her songwriting sense is almost miraculously subtle as a result. Forced to leave Argentina with her family during the worst years of the dictatorship, Molina's six-year stint in Paris may have also influenced her sound and eclectic approach to composition. Still, listening to her third album, 2004's <I>Tres Cosas</I>, it's hard not to feel that we're simply being given a window into the workings of an unusual mind. Her whispery voice meshes gently with a musical landscape that's deftly sketched with panoply of instruments and electronic effects. - Sarah BardeenLatin Rocken720Wed, 16 Dec 2009 08:05:50 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6642264&rws=%2Fjuana-molina%2Fmusic-videos.rss For a woman who spent seven years entertaining Argentina -- and much of Latin America -- with a comedy show, Juana Molina's musical persona flies directly in the face of her television persona.
