Her routine, somewhere between car-wash inflatable and Triller tribute to a mid-\u201910s Chicago bop track, was one of the only parts of her set that wasn\u2019t technically masterful. Far from robotic, though, Molina\u2019s performance shook with passion for her art and compassion for her fans.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            When Molina and her drummer stepped on stage roughly an hour and a half after doors, the crowd exploded for the Argentine singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist with hundreds of thousands of devoted followers across the Spanish-speaking world. It was an energy different from the kind of raucousness rabid fans exhibit north of the border: Chatty and kinetic, the vibe was less rapt than mutually excited \u2014 less pick-me, more genuinely fun.\n          <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-267238\" class=\"content_block breaker triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left video\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"video_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"fluid-width-video-wrapper\" style=\"padding-top: 56.25%;\">\n<p>    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Juana Molina - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fLuarhVj4DM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n \/\/trackYouTubeVideo('267238');\n<\/script><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-267269\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-267239\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<p>\n            Molina has an unusual backstory: Before she became one of Argentina\u2019s most beloved musicians, she found fame in the early \u201990s as the leader of a sketch comedy <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> called <i><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_new\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=A3m_sN-Bhdc&amp;ab_channel=losvideosdelpela\">Juana y sus hermanas<\/a><\/i>. Despite the show\u2019s massive popularity in Latin America, she quit after two years to release her debut album in 1996 (in interviews, she always said she saw acting as a money-making means to pursue her musical passions). She\u2019s since put out six more studio LPs, a live album, two EPs (including last year\u2019s), and a collaborative project with fellow singer\/multi-instrumentalist Alejandro Frannov, releasing at a relatively regular rate for the past 27 years. <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_new\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=A3m_sN-Bhdc&amp;ab_channel=losvideosdelpela\">Prolific on social media<\/a>, she announces her shows with endearing Instagram videos in which she adopts bizarre facial and vocal filters \u2014 proof her comic abilities remain intact.

center_align\">\n<p>\n            Molina\u2019s setup doesn\u2019t prepare the concertgoer for the complexity of the arrangements that erupt from the speakers at her shows. Using a variety of loopers, pedals, synths, and samplers, she and her percussionist <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_new\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/diegolopezdearcaute\/\">Diego Lopez de Arcaute<\/a> lay out pieces \u2014 sometimes smooth, sometimes jagged \u2014 that slowly, or quickly, join to create intricate sound puzzles. On faster tracks, these tend to be crunchy chord progressions that stay close to the root and riff on the blues scale and drum lines inclined toward Afrobeat and soukous polyrhythms. On slower, more freeform songs, the ingredients are less cut and dried.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            At Foro Indie Rocks!, Molina exhibited her mastery of the guitar, the keyboard, the auxiliary synths atop it, and the many effects pedals and loopers at her feet. Her set began with \u201cAstro de luz segunda,\u201d the opening track from her most recent project, November 2024\u2019s <i>EXHALO<\/i> EP. The six-minute cut sped by on driving drum fills and a curtly rendered four-chord foundation, accented by the guitar blue notes Molina often uses to keep things harmonically interesting. Molina and Arcaute threaded a delicate line between instrumental crescendos, slick verses, and a climatic bridge before tying things off with satisfying finesse.\n          <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-267242\" class=\"content_block paragraph embed triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\">\n    <iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=461159969\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/juanamolina.bandcamp.com\/album\/exhalo\">EXHALO by Juana Molina<\/a><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-267270\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-267243\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<p>\n            The show might have benefited from a less straightforward arc: Slower, keyboard-centric songs were frontloaded while the setlist\u2019s back half was populated mostly by guitar-and-percussion-forward shredders. One late-set highlight was \u201cWed 21,\u201d in which a wonky, nearly atonal guitar and playfully repetitive drums undergird monotoned vocals that serve as a bent lightning rod, grounding the chaos at moments but heightening it elsewhere. Live, without the benefit of a third player, the song\u2019s technicality got the best of Molina and Arcaute on their first two attempts, but they nailed it the third time through, playing off the minor fiasco with a wink; the audience ate it up.\n          <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-267244\" class=\"content_block breaker triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left video\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"video_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"fluid-width-video-wrapper\" style=\"padding-top: 56.25%;\">\n<p>    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Juana Molina: Wed 21 | La Ballena Azul\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fGuaN0FISBs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n \/\/trackYouTubeVideo('267244');\n<\/script><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-267245\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<p>\n            It\u2019s clear that, despite rarely <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">travel<\/a>ing outside South America, Molina feels tremendous affection for her Mexican fans.
