Episode 300: When Gaby Moreno was announced as an official showcasing artist at this Fall's Americanafest, it stirred a tingle of recognition in me, but I had to do some digging to realize what a big deal it was. The Guatemala-born, Los Angeles-based singer and songwriter became part of the Watkins Family Hour at Largo in LA and a regular on Chris Thile's Live From Here Show. She's released nine records, winning two Latin Grammy Awards - and an album Grammy Award earlier this year. She's internationally known as one of the most versatile and enthralling voices in any genre, but her latest Dusk, produced by Nashville's Dan Knobler, brings a needed Spanglish influence to the Americana community. In this magical hour, we talk about what inspired her eclectic outlook and her many collaborations, including working with the legendary Van Dyke Parks.
