Synopsis

Amazon.com
Light, breezy, and atmospheric, Juana Molina's Tres Cosas is a sonic journey that is at once soothing and intriguing. The instrumentation is spare but effective. "Uh" glides along on acoustic guitar and electronica loops that mingle with her soft vocals to create an appealing soundscape. The Argentinian singer/songwriter fuses folk and electronica rhythms on the title track. If you don't know Spanish, it doesn't matter. But even if you do, the lyrics are not the main focus here. These 13 tracks of electronica music are not so much for dancing as they are for reflecting and relaxing. With her soft half-spoken/half-sung vocals and sonic ambience, Molina sounds like what you'd get if you mixed folk singer Suzanne Vega and Yes' Jon Anderson. --Ramiro Burr

CD Reviews

Un disco delicioso.
Roberto Bernasconi | Buenos Aires, Argentina | 12/31/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Tres Cosas es exquisito desde el minuto cero, las guitarras lo llevan a uno flotando en el aire, y la voz de Juana, suave y mística, trasporta. Recién ahora le están dando un poco de pelota en Argentina, ya que desde "Juana y sus hermanas" hasta "segundo" la gente le dió la espalda y ella se fué a buscar comprensión a otro lado.

Con "Tres Cosas" Juana sigue regalándonos su talento, siguiendo la tradición de su viejo.







If you enjoyed this album, 'though you didn't get the language, i recommend you to get something by the Uruguayan songwriter Jorge Drexler, whose works are sublime; you can also get "Tudo novo di novo" by the brazilian Paulinho Moska, or "Segundo" by María Rita Mariano. South America is full of great musicians you shouldn't miss, and language is a tool, not a wall.

Give a shot to Pequeña Orquesta Reincidentes. They're awesome too."

"I don't know what the lyrics mean because I don't speak the language but Juana Molina playing in a room is like lighting a smudge, it fills the room and pushes away a days lament and lets your positive thoughts float."
