Gaby Moreno sings the Blues part 2




Song: GREENHORNE MAN live in Holland (Roepaen)

short Info artist (from gaby-moreno.com )
The Guatemalan native's confidence came in handy when, at the age of 7, she started singing for bigger audiences — at festivals, telethons, anywhere she could. By the time she was 10, Moreno had progressed to performing in stadiums, opening for artists like Ricky Martin in her home country (thanks, in part, to her father, Armando Moreno, who was a band promoter).

But it was a trip to New York City when she was a teenager that awakened her to a new style of music.

"I remember walking down the street and hearing this amazing music. I was like, 'Wow! What is this? I've never heard this in my life, but it's speaking to me,'" says Moreno, who opens for Ani DiFranco Wednesday, Jan. 20, at the Harro East Ballroom. "I asked somebody and they were like, 'It's blues' ... I got immersed in the genre ... In Guatemala it's not very common that you hear that music, so my family looked at me like a little alien."

Moreno was soon locking herself in her bedroom for hours a day, listening to legendary blues artists like B.B. King, Robert Johnson and Nina Simone. She turned to an English dictionary to better understand the lyrics. It wasn't long before she started singing along and then writing her own blues songs in English.
