Villa Rosa (Maria Isa & Muja Messiah) – Street Luv

Villa Rosa Street Luv 2013 Maria Isa Mujja Messiah

My favorite Twin Cities HipHop duo Villa Rosa has been busy in California lately and the new video "Street Luv" is our fleeting glimpse into their adventures. While rapper Muja Messiah playfully proclaims, "If only I spoke Spanish, I might control the planet," Maria Isa delivers a steady Spanglish tale of her infatuation with a gangsta caballero. The track swirls with casinos, beaches, sex, and adventure as the self-serving forces of freedom float just beyond the law's iron grip. This … [Read more...]

VIDEO: Daddy Yankee & J Alvarez – El Amante (Behind The Scenes)

April 16, 2013 by Joseph Leave a Comment

The Big Boss teams up with El Dueño del Sistema for the new video "El Amante," off Daddy Yankee's latest album Prestige. The behind the scenes video features some scenes of flashy cars, a busty model, and the beauty of the Caribbean sea. The interviews are a bit disappointing and for those of you who don't speak Spanish well, you really didn't miss anything aside from everybody letting us know that they're on the set for the music video. Like we didn't know. Stay tuned for the official … [Read more...]

VIDEO: Carlos Vives & Michel Telo – Como Le Gusta A Tu Cuerpo (Behind The Scenes)

April 15, 2013 by Joseph Leave a Comment

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...]

Tommy Torres & Nelly Furtado – Sin Ti

April 10, 2013 by Joseph Leave a Comment

I can't lie: Tommy Torres has long been one of my favorite Latin artists. Not only is the man a genius producer, arranging the instrumentation so that every string chord, every piano progression, and every drum entrance sound natural and effortlessly complement the song's story, but he also has a voice full of passion and meaning! While his last album Tommy Torres was my favorite, in part due to the way he interweaved Puerto Rican music into the tracks, the new 12 Historias certainly is a … [Read more...]

Domino Saints – Exclusivo

March 31, 2013 by Joseph Leave a Comment

Puerto Rico's Domino Saints made a name for themselves last fall with the debut of their energetic mambo-pop single“Malas Mañas” ("Bad Habits"). Their latest song "Exclusivo" is an electro-pop track that would fit right in at a house party or bonfire on the beach. Gigi's pop vocals shimmer with a confident flavor that transitions nicely into the dancehall and hiphop influence of David's verses. Ever the versatile artist, Gigi deftly delivers her own speedy spanglish rap lines as … [Read more...]

Wisin & Yandel – Te Deseo

March 16, 2013 by Joseph Leave a Comment

Los Lideres are back with the video to their popular single "Te Deseo." Once known for their energetic reggaeton tracks, Wisin y Yandel have noticeably altered their style over the years in favor of dance-friendly pop songs. There are undoubtedly fans from the original days who don't like this mainstream approach, but the truth of the matter is that reggaeton is not a sustainable genre: what worked in 2004 no longer works today. Thankfully this duo stayed true to their musical style and the … [Read more...]

Jason & Negri – Sin Mi (Video + MP3)

December 12, 2012 by Joseph 1 Comment

Jason & Negri are a Latin Urban duo from Springfield, Massachusetts ,who I believe are of Puerto Rican heritage (Jason for sure). This group has pretty much been an underground duo floating below the radar, although they have been featured on a pair of reggaeton tracks with the artists Gotay and Carlitos Rossy. If you aren't a fan of reggaeton, fear not, because today's featured song "Sin Mi" is actually a nice romantic bachata tune, with a video directed by Miami's Fernando Lugo. … [Read more...]

Angel y Khriz – Me Canse

November 7, 2012 by Joseph Leave a Comment

Angel y Khriz are back!! It's been a while since the duo responsible for such reggaeton hits as "Ven Bailalo" and "La Vecina" has made any noise at all, but today they return with the music video for "Me Canse" - which is a hot pop/dance club song backed by Pitbull's label Mr. 305, inc. Gone are the over-sized hip hop tees of the early reggaeton era - but don't even think about touching the shades! - and the group's new image is a slick club look with the occasional suit thrown in for some … [Read more...]

Domino Saints – Malas Mañas

September 8, 2012 by Joseph Leave a Comment

Domino Saints are a Latin pop group from San Juan, Puerto Rico, who have been generating some exciting buzz this summer with their new single "Malas Mañas" ("Bad Habits"). The lyrics of the piece are a provocative interaction between the two artists, and interestingly enough, they happen to be a couple in real life as well. The singer Gigi has a beautiful and naturally melodious voice which I can pretty much guarantee will leave the words "vente vente, enseñame tus malas mañas" stuck in … [Read more...]

Twin Cities Event: Villa Rosa CD Release Party at The Pourhouse (August 9, 2012)

August 11, 2012 by Joseph Leave a Comment

On a relatively quiet Thursday night in downtown Minneapolis, patrons slow streamed into a mid-sized new venue called The Pourhouse. While large flat-screen TVs broadcast the Olympic games on nearly every wall, this night's customers were here for another reason: the release of the new CD Exotic Paraphernalia by the popular underground Twin Cities duo Villa Rosa. Villa Rosa consists of Maria Isa, a young "SotaRican" (Minnesota-Puerto Rican) in her mid-twenties, and Muja Messiah, a … [Read more...]
