Singer-songwriters Gaby Moreno and Davíd Garza came together to record a timely-as-ever bilingual take on Paul Simon's "American Tune" for the Hootenanny One Mic Series in Los Angeles. The performance, featuring Moreno's Spanish translation of the lyrics, was recorded with the Hootenanny House Band by Tim Schoenhals and filmed by Josh Jason for the series' inaugural video. You can watch it below.
Moreno recorded a heartfelt interpretation of David Rudder's song "The Immigrants" with musician, songwriter, arranger, and producer Van Dyke Parks and released it on Nonesuch for July 4 this year. Proceeds go to support CARECEN and its efforts to empower immigrants. "The Immigrants" may be purchased from the Nonesuch Store, iTunes, and Amazon, and hear on YouTube, Apple Music, and Spotify.
(And you can hear Allen Toussaint perform "American Tune" on his 2016 posthumously released album American Tunes.)
