Carlos Vives Michel Telo Como Le Gusta A Tu Cuerpo

The Latin power duo of Carlos Vives & Michel Telo are teaming up to film a video for their new song "Como Le Gusta A Tu Cuerpo."  Brazilian singer Michel Telo experienced huge success with his latest single "Ai Se Eu Te Pego" and Carlos Vive's "Volvi A Nacer" topped the Billboard Latin chart last fall, so this collaboration comes at a time when both singers are experiencing a career high.  Today's behind-the-scenes video (in Spanish) gives us a sneak peek of a few clips, short interviews, … [Read more...]

Cabas – Somos Dos

Andres Cabas Somos Dos

Colombian singer Andres Cabas is a talented musician, most notably skilled at piano and percussion, who is notorious for being perhaps one of the only Latin Grammy Award nominees to skip the limousine glamor in favor of arriving to the show on foot.   This speaks volumes about a man who has shared the stage with the likes of Shakira and Lenny Gravitz.  Not every artist is capable of proudly putting forth a greatest hits compilation, but Cabas' most recent release Increible, Pero Cierto is … [Read more...]

Bomba Estereo – Caribbean Power

Bomba Estereo Caribbean Power

Bomba Estereo's latest track "Caribbean Power" is perhaps best described as "electro-rave meets dancehall."  The electronic synthesizers fill the air with a unique energy that breathes a visible life into the sold-out Bogota crowd and you could say that this is the "power" aspect of the song.  At the same time, there is an underlining Caribbean dancehall beat that pulses along with an energy of its own.  When Li Saumet begins jumping around the stage and delivering her Spanish rap hook "Yo … [Read more...]

Carolina Lao & Fito Blanko – Si No Me Dan De Beber (MP3 Download)

Carolina Lao & Fito Blanko

In a modern twist to un clasico navideño, Carolina Lao and Fito Blanko really bring Christmas to life, With “Si No Me Dan De Beber.” The mix between the urban drums on a Merengue beat, and the accordions of a Cumbia really energizes this track and is definitely a must-play for my Christmas party DJ set this year. “Si No Me Dan De Beber” - produced by Julio Bague and Sensei Musica (click here for the recent interview)- really has the potential to become a hip new Christmas anthem similar … [Read more...]

Carlos Vives – Volvi A Nacer

Carlos Vives

The Tropical Charts are crawling with hits this week! While I respect the charts, I find that some songs tend to chart long past the point where I can consider them new and exciting.  Luckily, I am currently loving all three singles at the top of the Latin Tropical Chart: "Pegadito Suavecito" by Elvis Crespo and Fito Blanko, "Por Que Les Mientes" by Tito El Bambino and Marc Anthony, and then today's feature (which is actually ranked number 2 at the moment) "Volvi A Nacer" by Carlos … [Read more...]

Shakira – Addicted To You

Shakira

Latin Crossover star Shakira has diligently worked to share her talent with the bilingual world, emerging as a well-known and well-respected name in the music scene. With songs in English and Spanish, it would be difficult to find somebody who has not at least heard of this singer. Her last album, Sale El Sol, which released in 2010, won her three Latin Grammy Nominations and ended up winning the award for Best Female Pop Vocal Album. The Colombian-born singer has since been rather quiet, but … [Read more...]
