South American Ethnic Pop: Laura Fuentes' latest cd "Donde Vivo" is a massage with orange essential oil on the beach of an modern third world city, to the beat of urban and ancestral drums. The disk, produced by Arturo Medina of the latin grammy winners "Sin Bandera" is a sensual and cultural revelation with a very natural intimacy in Laura's vocals and multi-lingual lyrics over grooves rooted in the African diaspora of North and South America. Songs are in Spanish, English, Portuguese and the Indigenous language Mapudungun.
