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

Background

Stech-Homsy was born in New Mexico and later moved to Brooklyn. She began to perform and record original compositions, eventually recording The Bride of Dynamite. The album was a collection of collage-like songs. A friend passed the record to Devendra Banhart who soon requested to release it on his label (Gnomonsong). Since her debut release in early 2007, Stech-Homsye has worked with artists such as Grizzly Bear, CocoRosie, Brightblack Morning Light, Vetiver, Patrick Wolf, Vashti Bunyan, Tim Fite and Banhart.

Rio en Medio's third album, Peace Sequence, was released in 2013 on the feminist exploratory music label Womens Work Recordings.

Musical style

Rio en Medio's music is described as delicate and fragmented songs.

Danielle cites traditional musical styles including tropicalia, Russian, Spanish, American and English folk music, and musicians such as Paul Horn and Mary McCaslin as influences.
