Juana Rosario Molina Villafañe (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈxwana moˈlina]; born 1 October 1961) is an Argentine singer, songwriter and actress, based in Buenos Aires.
She is known for her distinctive sound, considered an exponent of folktronica,[1] although it has also been described as ambient,[2] experimental,[1] neofolk,[3] chill-out,[4] indietronica,[5] psychedelic,[6] indie pop,[7] and progressive folk.
Her debut album, Rara, was subsequently released in 1996, and panned by local critics who resented her departure from television.
"[9] Writing for The Guardian, Robin Denselow called her the "one-time Queen of Latin chill" and wrote: "[she] has built up a global cult following as one of the most experimental musicians in Argentina.
"[10] Juana Rosario Molina Villafañe[11] was born to a family of artists in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on October 1, 1961.
[16] In 1976, the family left for Paris, France, due to the military dictatorship that overthrew president Isabel Perón.
[23] Reflecting on her rapid rise to stardom and distance from the music career she had always wanted, the actress canceled the show in 1994.
[25] The music of Segundo was the result of Molina's new insights in timbre and her meeting with Alejandro Franov, who taught her "the endless sound possibilities that keyboards allow.
"[23] Despite remaining virtually unknown in her native country, Molina's music found success in Japan, and, to a lesser extent, in Europe.
Molina's song, "Sin dones", from Halo, was used on the episode "Things Bad Begun" in Season 3 of the show Fear the Walking Dead in 2017.
