Francisca Valenzuela playing a set at the
Centro Cultural Amanda from her disc,
Muerdete la Lengua, recorded here in Chile in 2007 (she was born and raised in San Francisco, Cali). The songs "Dulce" (sweet) and "Peces" (fishes)(written at age 13) from said album, are the most widely recognized with the first achieving the #2 spot on Chilean national radio rankings, and the latter being nominated by
Rolling Stone for being one of the best songs of 2006.
She was mesmerizing live-- her voice sounded exactly as it does on her CD (which, duh, you should check out even if you don't speak Spanish). And not to mention, she's super nice. Yeah, LL and I met her. In times like those,
being a DJ has its perks, and now she has my email. Score.
Disc available
here.
Happy listening!
