JP, I cannot believe I missed this video! Thank you so much for covering my favorite artist, Mon Laferte! She has a supremely talented performer with a broad and fascinating catalog. She does everything from Rock to Opera, and everything in between including Pop, Salsa, Cumbia, Reggaeton, Bolero, and Norteno. She recorded a song in the Japanese style called "Enka", oh, and she also fronted a metal band. I have many more suggestions from her if you are interested. FYI, she is playing at the House of Blues on May 10. See you there? Bring your wife.
Oh, I'm IN!!! I really appreciate the mix this month, in our Anglo-centric culture, few people get the chance to hear how great the music from different countries can be. This lady has some pipes! Keep it up, some more Fado would be the shizz. Merry Christmas, Peace, and Love all around.
I'm late to the party but Mon Laferte is an incredible singer and songwriter. I love her so much and I'm really happy you got to discover her. But there are other songs you should give a listen to, including : Tormento La Trenza Tenochtitlan 40 y MM Pornocracia Once you're in love with her, you can then fall in love with Natalia Lafourcade too.
Te recomiendo tu falta de querer en vivo en el lunario 2015 tormento ahí mismo o en viña del mar 2017 en vivo mi buen amor en vivo o video con enrique bunbury Flaco en vivo en el caupolican
This was awesome, but speaking of live performances, you still need to experience Rick Wakeman's Excerpts from The Six Wives of Henry VIII, and no, you haven't seen it yet. Let's just say that it's better than what you heard from the album, though the album was great too, no doubt. Not sure how much more I can sell it than that though : )
I think it has a fifties / sixties prom dances feel. So, the main reference, even though she sings in Castellan ("Even if you're dying to come back", that's the song name), is US music. But I wonder, can we escape to its influence?
No question about her talent, or the execution. And the song was pretty good too. The only thing I might've had against it years ago is that this is just like the music the old folks used to listen to, long ago. It sounds like a TV variety show to me. (A really good one, but it has something of a generic sound, just to my ears. I think part of that is that I've never taken the trouble to properly listen to this kind of music. I like it, but don't seek it out. Not a problem of the singer, the band or the song, but with me.) Understand that this is how I hear Celine Dion, too, just to give some indication of ... wrong word, but the respect I have for a well executed song like this. (Even quibbling a bit feels unreasonably "negative" on my part, to me.) For the big band with superlative singer up front type song, though, I feel like I've been a bit spoiled by fado music. Amália Rodriguez, back in the day when she was queen of all the world, even if not everyone knew it, or Mariza, as she's developed, these days. That's where I get my dose of melodrama or emotional overload, and something that doesn't fit the formula just doesn't perfectly do it for me. Fado also has one unique sound that distinguishes it from the Carol Burnett Show, as far as sound palette goes - the "English Guitar". (In English we call it the "Portuguese Guitar", but in Portugal they call it the "English Guitar", which is a little tail chasing circle that appeals to me.) These other big, lush songs have the same orchestra, generally. Strings. Maybe some Spanish guitar. Drums. Maybe even some brass sometimes - but not nice and vigorously mariachied, so it stays "classical-comfy". But fado has that unique guitar sound. (OK, some people really hate it because it maybe sounds a bit bazouki - so I suppose you have to like or not mind the sound of Greek music to like this. But those are just more details of "It's all just a matter of taste.") Did I mention that I really enjoyed this song? I think maybe that got lost a bit in this reaching around to try and figure out "what's missing". Not sad enough, maybe. Maybe it's as simple as that. I resonate more with a sense of loss and longing, maybe.
Yet another song requiring subtitles, we seem to be on a roll here. An interesting listen, and I like her voice. That said, is this something I'd listen to at home..... naaarrrrrrrrr.
Ella tiene un tremendo nivel interpretativo ,la música es brillante... WOW...

Muy buena reacción, agradezco puedas reaccionar a Antes de ti de Mon Laferte. Éxito para el próximo año. Saludos.
She is a song writer and singer, Mon Laferte love all her songs
Song "tango de las rosas", to Mon Laferte...... Very, very nice
Damn, that song was dope
Big voice, big band - almost an orchestra (courtesy of wireless mics). That was nice.

She is Mon Laferte, not the band.

Mon Laferte - Canción feliz (en vivo)

She has plenty of sadder songs - "Tormento," "Funeral", "Tu Falta De Querer", "Vuelve Por Favor" - to name a few.
