Today, however, we asked Diana to pick her five favorite videos from the BAMM.tv archives. Here are her choices …

We’re happy to announce that wonderful singer-songwriter Diana Gameros is our Artist Of The Month.

Time for another BAMM.tv Artist Of The Month feature: a selection of great music, exclusive articles and prize giveaways (among other things) from one of our favorite up-and-coming artists. This month we put San Francisco singer-songwriter Diana Gameros under the spotlight …
Soulfulness is a hard thing to quantify. People are a varied breed, and experience tells us it would be foolish to go all-out and categorise emotional response – music that leaves one listener cold may well prove to save the life of another. Music may be universal but the gamut of reactions works on a far more personal level – an innate form of relativism that both unites and separates us all.
Sometimes, though … sometimes you just have to appreciate the resonance of an artist. Opera may not do it for you, but you can’t help but quiver at the bombastic authority of a tenor or soprano. Heavy rock could well be the last thing you’d listen to, but you’ve have to be a cultural zero-mark not to marvel at a virtuoso guitar solo. As for emotive, Latin-tinged, classical acoustic songwriting? That might be outside your sphere altogether, but – frankly – if you’re not massively moved by the heart-stopping performances of Diana Gameros, then you might as well nail that coffin lid down now.
Luckily – here at BAMM.TV – we are big fans of emotive, Latin-tinged, classical acoustic songwriting. And we’re even bigger fans of the heart-stopping performances of Diana Gameros.
Stick around, and you might just find out why.
Just a little something to remind you that the weekend’s almost here, and that your to-do list for the next few days is headlined ‘chilling out’. Diana Gameros is a wonderfully diverse singer-songwriter whose material encompasses all sorts of influences – indie, Latin, folk and pop – and spans three different languages (Spanish, English and French). She dropped into BAMM’s SF headquarters to treat us to a fantastic cover of Jose Alfredo Jimenez’s ‘Deja Que Salga La Luna’ (‘Let The Moon Rise’). Enjoy!
