Sara Valenzuela, the former lead singer of Mexico's popular alternative-pop act La Dosis, steps forward with the captivating solo album ‘ Lado Este ' (Nacional Records), which includes first single and video “Para Continuar”.

Valenzuela is joined by prominent musicians such as Marc Ribot (Elvis Costello; Tom Waits) and Melvin Gibbs (Rollins Band; Marisa Monte). Valenzuela's rich vocals and eclectic melodies shine on Lado Este (“East Side”), which was produced by Dougie Bowne (Iggy Pop, Cibo Matto, Arto Lindsay) .

Listeners need not speak Spanish to enjoy Sara Valenzuela's solo debut – a sense of musical adventure will more than suffice. If you're a fan of artists such as Julieta Venegas, Suzanne Vega, or Ely Guerra, this is an album that will be at home in your collection.
