Born in 1962, Juana Molina is an Argentinian singer/songwriter and actress.
Following the military coup in Argentina of 1976, Molina’s family fled the country and lived in exile in Paris for six years. She grew up in a musical environment and her tango-singing father taught her guitar when she was 5.
Juana Molina started her career in 1988 as a comedic television actress in Argentina on the show La Noticia Rebelde. She later starred in Juana y sus hermanas, a hit sketch show across the Spanish-speaking world, for which she remains better known in Latin America.
In 1996 she decided to start her musical career and released her first album, Rara. Her second album, Segundo, was named Best World Music Album 2003 in Entertainment Weekly and gained a Shortlist Award 2004 nomination. Tres Cosas, her third album, was placed in the Top Ten Records of 2004 by the New York Times.
Son, her fourth album, released in 2005, has been acclaimed by the critics.
In 2008, she released her fifth studio album, titled Un Día on Domino Records.
The lyrics on her albums are sung in her native Spanish and are often accompanied by acoustic guitar, among other instruments. Her music features elements of ambient and electronica, and she is often compared by critics to Björk, Beth Orton, and Lisa Germano. She usually writes, mixes tracks and performs on her own.

Some of her vocals and music remind me of the more meandering parts of Jane's Addiction songs. But she's better.

I saw her in Pasadena not too long ago and despite the overall levels being pretty low (she had to ask several times for the volume to be raised) she didn't have any problems. It sounded amazing.
