Lidia Guevara interviewed about her songs

Lidia Guevara is one of my favourite Spanish singer-songwriters. I discovered her last year when she contacted me at Myspace and since then we have become friends.

I have written two hubs about her before but thought it would be a good idea to let Lidia say a bit about herself too so I asked her to answer some questions for this little interview.

Lidia, please introduce yourself to my readers.

Lidia Guevara is an uncomplicated girl who dreamed about being a singer. But besides her simple nature she can be headstrong and obstinate, which is why, little by little, her dreams are becoming a reality.

How did you get started as a singer and musician?

Everything began instinctively, in the most minimal and simple way. A cardboard box and rubber bands was my first guitar. Later years I dedicated to composing songs, to showcasing my music, being in a choir, and I fronted several bands, etc. That entire route of successes and errors has brought me to the present moment.

What other singers and bands do you admire?

I am a fan of the Beatles and Sheryl Crow. Also I really like Vetusta Morla and Love of Lesbian, but in fact what I do on a daily basis is to listen to groups with different and varying musical concepts.

What are some of the best moments in your musical career?

The best moments are, without a doubt, those that show me my followers when they sing my songs at concerts. I believe this is the most rewarding experience of all.

What are your favourite songs?

I have many favourite songs, among them "One of Us" by Joan Osborne or " My Girl" by The Temptations.

Anything else you would like to add or promote here?

I am an addict of the social networking sites and really impressed by the calling capacity that they have when an announcement is made for a concert. I am a woman stuck to a computer that offers a direct bond with the public. If you want to know more about me I am waiting for you at my Facebook - http://www.facebook.com/lidiaguevara - or some of my other pages.
