Ximena Sarinana [no longer playing the Fest]

No longer on the schedule.  A reddit commenter mentioned that she might have visa issues.

One Liner:  Mexican pop singer-songwriter
Wikipedia Genre: Pop, rock, latin pop
Home: Guadalajara, Mexico

Poster Position: 17


Weekend One Only.


Thoughts:  Mexican singer-songwriter who received a Grammy nomination in 2009 for her debut album, Mediocre.  Wikipedia also says that she is an actor, appearing in telenovelas and multiple movies.

Almost all of her songs are full Spanish, and I have no clue what is going on in them.  Most of her top ten are kind of traditional-sounding Mexican music combined with a little new pop sense, but then when you go down and find that "Mediocre" song, from her Grammy-nominated album, it sounds like freaking Spanish Fiona Apple, and its kinda cool.
Way more interesting that the more recent stuff.  Of course, I don't know what any of it is saying, so the new stuff could be deep and amazing and I'm just missing out.

Her top track is "[upside down question mark]Que Tiene?" with 21.5 million streams.
That janitor seems like a good dude.  Good ol' Tomas.  Heckuva fella.  Just FYI, Que Tiene means What is Wrong With It (according to the google).

I don't know what to tell you - if you are into this, have at it, but I'm not going to go see this one played live.
