When I first heard of Juanes, it was way back when MTV was relevant, with an excellent show Unplugged. It's where I first heard Juan Esteban Aristizabal Vasquez, or simply know as Juanes. Love his music, a fusion of many genres. Juanes hails from Colombia, who was a member of a rock band before going solo and going on to win over 26 Latin Grammy Awards. What a treat to see him performing on last night's Austin City Limits as part of their 50th anniversary series with a repertoire of his work spanning back years. I was having a nice moment...maybe even dancing.
Great music! Can't understand a word, but it doesn't matter? Music is music and I enjoyed this.
ReplyDeleteHe still sounds and looks great. I always loved Unplugged. It made me appreciate artists I thought were all about packaging and studios. Ricky Martin was one of those. I loved his music and watching his videos, but was amazed by his raw talent on Unplugged.
ReplyDeleteWe met Juanes in a restaurant back in our Miami days; he was as nice as he was hot, and even sent drinks to our table.
ReplyDeleteNice. Thanks. And I loved the "back when MTV was relevant." True words.
ReplyDeleteHoly crap! Can you say "Flashback"? Excellent!
ReplyDeleteI miss the days when MTV played music.
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard Juanes in ages. Now that's some lovely music to listen to while eating breakfast.
ReplyDeleteSinceramente, Juannes fue mi referente en estilo, pero incluso a mí me sorprendió, tantos clásicos que tiene. Excelente técnica en ejecución, un audio de guitarra que no cambia, sinceramente una pequeña joya que ya he mirado más de 20 veces. Muy lindo concierto, para hacer escuchar a las nuevas generaciones. Lo amo a él y a su música.
ReplyDeleteFirst time I ever heard of Juanes was on this show 11 years age. Since then I'm hooked. Tremendous Live performer.
ReplyDeletethank you for the introduction!
ReplyDeleteI don't know any Spanish, but I still enjoyed the music immensely. The audience seemed to really enjoy him too. He and his band are all very good.
