Music like Rio En Medio

Rio en Medio (Spanish for river in between) is the pseudonym of singer and baritone ukulelist Danielle Stech-Homsy.

Born in the US state of New Mexico, Stech-Homsy later made Brooklyn her home and there began to record and perform her own compositions. Working independently and in secret, she first created The Bride of Dynamite, a collection of collage-like songs incorporating found sounds and electronic programming, lifting texts from disparate sources, and evoking traditional-folk song structure, themes and melodies. As chance would have it, a friend passed on the unique, hand-made record to Devendra Banhart who soon requested to release it on his label (Gnomonsong). Since her debut release in early 2007, Stech-Homsye has performed on stages across the US and abroad in Europe and the UK. She has worked with many artists; to name a few: Grizzly Bear, CocoRosie, Brightblack Morning Light, Vetiver, Patrick Wolf, Vashti Bunyan, Tim Fite and Devendra Banhart. In 2007, she did a Take-Away Show acoustic video session shot by Vincent Moon.
