Juana Molina — live event
Juana Molina is a singer/songwriter from Argentina whose atmospheric blend of folk, electronica, and experimental pop have brought her international acclaim. Her career trajectory has been a unique one with her initial success coming as a massively popular comedic actress in the early-1990s. The subsequent abandonment of her television career in 1996 flummoxed critics at home where her newly launched music career failed to take hold. Nevertheless, Molina's inventive and original songwriting was widely accepted outside of Latin America where, over the next two decades, she established herself as a critically-lauded recording and touring artist. The daughter of tango singer, Horacio Molina, and actress Elva "Chunchuna" Villafañe, Juana was immersed in the arts from a young age and began playing guitar at the age of five. She actually made her first recorded appearance as a child alongside her father in 1967, singing the song "Te regalo esta canción" as a Mothers Day gift to her mother. Her father secretly released it as a single and it became a hit, selling 45,000 copies. In the late-70s her family fled to Paris for several years to escape the military dictatorship in Argentina. Her time in France would prove to be influential in her music. Although she considered music to be her initial focus, Molina was a natural performer with a gift for doing impressions. Beginning in the late-1980s, she appeared in a series of sketch comedy shows before eventually starring in her own, Juana y sus hermanas, which became a major syndicated hit throughout South America in the early-90s. Within a few years she'd become Argentina's most popular comedian, even if music remained her first love. After taking a break from the show to give birth to her daughter, she chose to cancel her television show in 1994 and instead launch a music career.
