I recently talked to Cielo Pordomingo, a musician from Argentina, about her newest release as well as her musicality. This was my first time conducting a live interview, so I was a bit nervous and anxious about how it would turn out. Initially, it was supposed to be a video interview, but I could only capture the audio.
Take a listen below the cut!
The Interview
My Thoughts on R-MIXES & +
I didn’t hear about Cielo Pordomingo until I got an email from her agent, asking me to promote her music on my website about two months ago. But, since then, I have become a big fan of her music!
Each track off her newest remix album has their own charm as well as their own personality. The remixes of “Quieta” Still and “Pequeño Mundo” A Small World have dark electronic elements within the notes. While “Don’t Speak” has that 80s’ flair to it that seems to be addictive and mesmerizing. To balance out the energetic tracks featured on R-MIXES & +, “Sin Sentido” Without Sense, “Caida Libre” Freefall, and “Green Drops” are featured songs that have a calming aura and slowed down tempos.
My favorite tracks are “Quieta”, “Don’t Speak”, and “Green Drops”. What are yours? Tell me in the comments below!

My favorite song by her is Dont Sleep mainly because of the beat and her into to the song. I didnt know that she had another album in April of this year, I will have to check it out.

Fascinating music! This is a great post (as usual), thanks for introducing a new artist to us 🙂
I’ve never heard of her before, but I like what I’m hearing! Thanks for introducing her!
It is always so interesting to learn and hear more about the background of various artists and this interview really turned out well. There is no doubt that Cielo is really talented as an artist. Interesting that she moved to live in Mexico from Argentina and she really performs very well on camera.
Never heard of her but enjoyed reading about her journey. Much success to her!
Interesting information. I have never heard of this artist. I bet she is good.
I’ve never heard of her before, but I definitely will check her out now. She seems really good. Thank you for sharing!
Love the idea to discover new music and new artists,. music is such a great form of artistry.
It must have been very exciting to meet Cielo, I can understand why you were nervous. I haven’t heard of her myself before. I will try to listen to Quieta when I get a chance x
I love it. Any musical sound brings joy to me. I have a new musician to listen to now, thanks to your wonderful post.

Love the video clips in this post, the artist make up is really stunning and stand out and not forgetting her beautiful voice. Glad to learn about this musician from Argentina.
Great job for your first interview, how exciting! I love discovering new artists and music.
I love when musicians incorporate their folk roots into their sound in a new and modern way. Congratulations on your first live interview.
This is very interesting! I have not heard of her before. This might have been your first video/audio interview, but it went great!
I’m going to look up Green Drops right now to play. I’m a huge fan of music.

What a nice interview and this song is so good to listen and I really enjoyed it.
I love hearing musics of other culture. I love her musics very much. It seems very interesting.
She sounds like a very complete artist, with a beautiful career so far. It’s not everyday when your work gains you an Emmy Award. She sounds like a wonderful person as well, not only a musician.
I love learning about artists from around the world that I typically wouldn’t come across on mainstream radio. She is great and how exciting for you!
She has a tender and beautiful voice which is quite a contrast with the fast rhythm music she sing. It”s a unique song in a beautiful way though.
As a new traveler, I’ve added Argentina to my travel bucket list! When that happens I have to have this CD on replay! I love the music, the culture and she is a beautiful artist! Thank you for this!
