Laurie March Peels Back the Musical Layers of Gaby Moreno
Listening to the music that Guatemalan-born folk singer Gaby Moreno creates, you can hear so many diverse influences layered into her authentic, moody sound.
You might not expect a young girl from Guatemala to have so many inspirations from much more mature music genres, like soul music and blues, but she attributes much of her early curiosity to a family trip to NYC. That’s where she fell in love with a woman singing her heart out on the streets. When Gaby asked her what this thrilling sound was, she replied, “It’s the blues.”
I also enjoyed learning about Gaby’s creative process, and how she feels most comfortable at home writing on her living room sofa, surrounded by inspiring textiles, accessories and candles while she teases out thoughts in her journal and on her guitar.
Having a special space in your home where you can express yourself creatively –whether it’s a desk area, a cozy living room or your kitchen – is a wonderful way to leave room for daily inspiration from your art.
