Video 1: Ese Camino by Julieta Venegas Video 2: One of Julieta Venegas most popular songs "Me Voy: with millions of views online. Excerpts from a concert review by Gabriel San Roman, OC Weekly: Mexican singer-songwriter and accordionist Julieta Venegas 26th October in Anaheim. The multi-instrumentalist shined at the City National Grove of Anaheim, traversing through the treasure trove of songs that compile her storied career. When Venegas hoisted an accordion over her shoulder for the first time, her loyal fans erupted in joy. She belted the opening melody to "Ese Camino" with such authority. Venegas chose to end with "Andar Conmigo" and "Me Voy," taking a well deserved bow for a flawless, nearly two-hour journey through her creative prowess. Have we been blessed with Venegas' music for almost 20 years now? Last night's performance, breathtaking in its breadth, served as testament to the singer-songwriter's subtle timelessness. |
