Juana Molina
By user • Feb 1st, 2009 • Category: Band BiosFive albums and a dozen years into a career seems a bit long to determine that an artist isn’t just having a laugh and cashing in on a pre-existing TV career while embarking on this music thing out of vanity. But with each Juana Molina release, questions about whether that is the case pop up about the Argentinean comedian. Unlike, say, Jack Black and Tenacious D, Molina’s music never sounds like a comedy album or even an album made by a comic. They sound sincere, and with each acoustic-laden song on every intimate album, her day job as a sketch performer falls a bit further into memory. Soon, maybe, the 46-year-old singer will be able to ditch her on-camera gig for a full-time role behind the mic. However, laughter still pays the bills; this music thing is just for shits and giggles — at least for now anyway.
