Juan Wauters ventures back to his Uruguayan roots with the premiere of his new single “Escucho Mucho,” a playful yet pretty Spanish folk song.

Wauters moved to New York in 2002 to live and work in a factory with his father in order to save enough to bring the rest of his family to the U.S. To cope with the initial isolation he felt, he turned to music. And with “Escucho Mucho” (or “I hear a lot”) Wauters addresses that anger and feeling of alienation as he overhears people around him. And even if you cannot understand what he’s singing without the aid of Google — or a very patient friend willing to help translate — based on his clever rhyme schemes alone, it’s clear Wauters’ songwriting is as idiosyncratic and introspective as ever.
