Juan Wauters’s music makes me feel like I’m in a film about the simplest and most beautiful things—fishing, sunbathing, being in love. The Queens-by-way-of-Uruguay crooner—who also sings in the (currently inactive) Beets—released his first solo album in four years, La Onda de Juan Pablo (also his first in Spanish), in January. It’s a sort of diary documenting his travels across Latin America. He followed that up with Introducing Juan Pablo in May, which flips between English and Spanish but still maintains its homemade, DIY, folky quality. Wauters’s live performances are anti-performances in a sense, and include a lot of audience participation. by Jas Keimig
