Lara Manzanares

I was influenced by a lot of the people around me as I grew up my great-grandfather and didn't Martinez who was a piano player and everybody yeah he played the dances and would travel to different towns as a traveling musician I started playing the piano at age four so I learned Nevada silviana from him some of the older New Mexican tunes then in high school I started playing the guitar songs that I learned with my grandpa richard quoted evils and things like that the two things for me that have influenced my own music are the storytelling and the poetry the poetry of those old songs [Music] that's custom he said was all [Music] the rhythms that live inside my body you know are very much I think tied to the music that I learned growing up and that I continue to sing [Music] [Applause] this morning's kissimmee [Music] [Music] [Music] this isn't normally farmers market music but it's very New Mexican and it's these kinds of tunes that I heard as a kid and I like the song because of the emotion involved the it's very expressive and very deep and I feel very rooted when I sing it I feel like it's a very universal sentiment when I play live and play these songs that have lasted so long and that really still touch people in deep way that's that's really rewarding and that's that's what makes being a musician worth it [Music] sentimiento
