KUNM 89.9 - Ear To The Ground
Host: Matthew Finch
Air Date: November 10, 2018
“In this solo visit to Studio C, Manzanares talks about how her New Mexican roots made her a unique performer while busking in San Francisco's Mission District, then reveals some as-yet unreleased songs from her newest project.”
KUNM 89.9 - Raíces
Host: Cristina Baccín
Air Date: July 12, 2018
I joined "Raíces" host Cristina Baccín on the air at KUNM to talk about my musical background, my roots, and the bilingual nature of my songwriting. Tune in for some insight into the spanish/english side of my identity, and the unique personality each language brings to the creative process.
Note: For licensing reasons, the full-length songs from the album that were broadcast on the air have been shortened to clips for the podcast. My live mid-interview renditions, however, are included in full.

Host Ron Whitmore talks art and music with musician Lara Manzanares (me!) and visual artists Linda St. Clair and Terry Thompson Bird on ArtFusion Radio, a monthly radio show hosted at Artisan Santa Fe, one of New Mexico’s premiere art supply stores. The show is broken into four parts. I start the first section of the show singing Land Baby, and sing a couple more songs at different times during the show. I’ve labeled the video links below according to the song that I sing in each one.
