Julieta Venegas - Music Downloads - Online (760 words)
Born and raised in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico, Venegas was the daughter of two photographers and was one of five siblings.
Following all of this activity, Venegas settled down in Madrid and Buenos Aires to record her third album, Sí, this time working with producers Coti Sorokin and Cachorro López rather than Santaolalla.
In terms of songwriting, Venegas collaborated with Sorokin for half the album, something she'd never done before -- co-write her own songs, that is. And too, she altered her arrangements, going for a poppier approach, and played around with programming different sorts of rhythms like hip-hop and reggae.
