Kany Garcia – Acoustic Sessions From The New Album (July 31, 2012)

July 25, 2012 by Joseph Leave a Comment

Kany Garcia is a talented singer-songwriter from Puerto Rico, signed to Sony Music Latin, who will be celebrating the release of her third album Kany Garcia on July 31, 2012. Viewers of the 2012 Premios Juventud (Univision Youth Awards) had a chance to watch an exciting live performance of the first single from the album, "Que Te Vaya Mal." I personally felt that the quality of the broadcast audio was sub-par, so I encourage anybody who was unimpressed with what they heard to take a minute … [Read more...]

Jowell & Randy – RaggaDub

July 25, 2012 by Joseph Leave a Comment

It had to happen sooner or later: today Reggaeton and Dub Step collide in a fury of rough electronic sounds, effect-laden vocals, and a defining dembow rhythm - collectively referred to as "RaggaDub." It is too early to tell if this song will inspire a new wave of songs blending the two genres or if it is simply a passing fad (no matter how innovative), but Orlando's production duo of Lelo "El Androide" and Jazz, aka "Los Hitmen," are certainly doing everything in their power to bring a new … [Read more...]

MTV Iggy Presents: Ximena Sariñana – Tu y Yo

July 16, 2012 by Joseph Leave a Comment

Ximena Sariñana is a blossoming young Mexican singer whose bubbly personality, fearless experimentation, and former fame as a child telenovela actress have captured the hearts of fans across the globe. Despite the immensely successful 2008 debut album Mediocre consisting entirely of tracks in Spanish, Ximena turned around and bravely released her eponymous sophomore album in English - the only exception being today's featured song, "Tu y Yo." The differences between the two cds extends … [Read more...]

Plan B – Te Dijeron

July 16, 2012 by Joseph Leave a Comment

Puerto Rico's Plan B, released their first video since the 2010 album House of Pleasure and maybe it's just me, but it seems that even the snowflakes in the video are melting from the sensual heat of the lyrics. Comprised of Checho on the vocals and rapper Maldy on the verses, "Te Dijeron" is a musical expression of that burning, uncontrollable desire felt by lovers worldwide. Checho sings out a soulful chorus that affirms his infatuation for a woman, while Maldy's high-pitched rapid rap … [Read more...]

JP “El Sinico” Ft. Killatonez – Tiempo A Tiempo

July 15, 2012 by Joseph Leave a Comment

Today director Fernando Lugo released his latest music video, which features a new artist by the name of JP "El Sinico" - whose mannerisms are reminiscent of a young Spanish-flowing version of T.I. - and the singer Killatonez, who hardcore reggaeton fans might remember from the underground duo Galante & Killatonez. Both artists are best known for their work in the genre of reggaeton, but "Tiempo A Tiempo" is actually an urban pop song that is filled with the emotional pain and conflicting … [Read more...]

Ele-Jay – Yo Te Quiero

July 7, 2012 by Joseph Leave a Comment

I first encountered Ele-Jay (pronounced like the letter "L" en Español followed by "J" in English) at a small Mexican-themed music venue in South Minneapolis, where the now-defunct local favorites Danny & Elliot kicked off a wild concert featuring Puerto Rico's Khriz & Angel - this was back in the glory days of reggaeton. Having only recently voyaged into the Latin music scene, my young college-aged self quickly formed an unlikely alliance with the aspiring young singer from the Twin … [Read more...]

The melodic Latin bursts of the horns are Rene's signature touch on a catchy swing song that brims with a mature confidence and youthful energy that spin off each other like a well-choreographed pair of dance partners.

July 4, 2012 by Joseph 2 Comments

Minneapolis' young Dominican singer Niko Eme finally bowed down to popular demand and released an album for his fans: The End of the Beginning 2.0, which contains 11 tracks of introspective young love, dance tunes, and a strong affirmation that music is a "Way of Life." The album opens with the nostalgic break-up song "Losing It All" and quickly spins off into danceable tales of jealousy ("Jealous Type"), a rekindled romance with an ex-lover ("Don't Pretend"), and the burning desire to … [Read more...]
