Este episodio de El Sonido: Cancioneros fue grabado en la Ciudad de México, en los camarines del festival Vive Latino, para hablar con una de las figuras más importantes de la música popular latinoamericana y del pop y rock en español: el colombiano Juanes. Lo que más nos sorprendió durante esta conversación fue descubrir cuán obsesivo melómano es realmente. El compositor y guitarrista nos confesó su profundo fanatismo por las sesiones Live on KEXP y nos contó que pasa horas descubriendo nuevos artistas y escenas de distintos rincones del mundo a través de nuestra comunidad. Para su cancionero, Juanes reflexiona sobre las músicas que construyeron su identidad artística: desde Metallica, Sepultura y Judas Priest hasta leyendas del rock latinoamericano como Soda Stereo, Café Tacuba y Charly García, pasando por el vallenato de Carlos Vives y los tangos de Carlos Gardel. A lo largo del episodio, Juanes también revela que actualmente está trabajando en un nuevo proyecto de metal paralelo a su carrera solista y que el proyecto ya se encuentra bastante avanzado. Puedes ver el video podcast en el canal de YouTube KEXP Podcasts, con subtítulos en inglés y español. Cancionero curado por JUANES: “Cuando Pase el Temblor” – Soda Stereo “La Gota Fría” – Carlos Vives “Volver” – Carlos Gardel “La Verraquera” – Octavio Mesa “El Gran Día” – Juanes Créditos: Host & Producer: Albina Cabrera Associate Director of Editorial: Dusty Henry Audio Mastering: Jackson Long Latin American Content Intern: Jose Pabon Original Podcast Music: Roberto Carlos Lange (Helado Negro) Support El Sonido: kexp.org/el-sonido This episode of El Sonido: Cancioneros was recorded in Mexico City, backstage at the Vive Latino festival, to speak with one of the biggest stars in Latin American popular music and Spanish-language pop and rock: Colombian artist Juanes. What surprised us the most during this conversation was discovering just how obsessive of a music fan he really is. The songwriter and guitarist confessed his deep love for Live on KEXP sessions and told us he spends hours discovering new artists and scenes from around the world through our community. For his cancionero, Juanes reflects on the music that shaped his artistic identity: from Metallica, Sepultura, and Judas Priest to Latin American rock legends like Soda Stereo, Café Tacuba, and Charly García, as well as the vallenato of Carlos Vives and the tangos of Carlos Gardel. Throughout the episode, Juanes also reveals that he is currently working on a new metal project alongside his solo career — and that the project is already well underway.
