La Santa Cecilia – Treinta Dias (New Album)

The colorful sound of La Santa Cecilia's new album Treinta Dias contains fleeting shadows of the numerous musical influences that meld together for a tale of infatuation, deception, and the femme fatale. This journey begins with the bluesy introduction "Nuestra Señora la Reina de Los Angeles" ("Our Lady the Queen of Los Angeles") and grants us a passionate look into the struggles and dreams of the aspiring artist and bicultural American. The band members' hearts lie with the immigrant … [Read more...]

Mi Pepsi Presents: Meet 3Ball MTY (w/ Juan Bago & O)

MiPepsi was one of the primary sponsors of the 2013 Latin Billboards and in my opinion, they were definitely the most visible. I love the work that the brand is doing with music acts – both Latin and mainstream – and they are even creating their own “Blue Can Music” to partner with emerging artists. Washington Heights (NY) personalities Juan Bago & O, known for their comedic video spoofs, provided a fresh voice to Pepsi’s activities at the Latin Billboards last week. I … [Read more...]

Fito Blanko – Vamo Alla

Canadian singer Fito Blanko follows a simple, but effective, model: "Vamo Alla." The term is a colloquial expression that literally means "let's go there!", but is better expressed in this case by the informal "let's gooo!" Whether you find yourself late for work or about to enter a party, the message is equally relevant: look at yourself in the mirror, smile, and say, "Vamo Alla!" The video for "Vamo Alla" is a collage of live footage from Fito's recent Miami performance on the Calle … [Read more...]

Sito Rocks & Sak Noel – Party On My Level

Remember the recent hit dance song “CrazyPeople” (“Johnny, La Gente Esta Muy Loca”)? Most of you are probably familiar with the version by Pitbull, Sensato, and Fito Blanko, and some of you might have even heard Sito Rocks’ remix as well. But before these versions hit the disco, the original track was innovated in Spain by the Catalan DJ/producer Sak Noel. Given the energy of Sak Noel’s productions and Sito Rocks’ lyrics, their collaboration on today’s new video “Party … [Read more...]

Album Preview: Miami’s Elastic Bond Signs to Nacional Records, New Album To Be Released June 25th

It's official!! I (Joseph) am traveling to the 2013 Latin Billboards next week, April 22-25th in Miami. While the televised awards show on Thursday April 25th (Telemundo: 7pm ET / 6pm CT) claims most of the media attention with its Red Carpet event (La Alfombra Roja) and live performances, there is just as much excitement scheduled behind-the-scenes...at least for my interests in music and marketing/branding. The purpose of this post is partly press release - I want to connect with as many … [Read more...]

Tommy Torres & Nelly Furtado – Sin Ti

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...]

Monique – Stay (Rihanna Cover)

It's been a while since we heard from Miami singer Monique Gonzalez, but she finally turned up again and seems to have been busy recording her EP out in LA with producers Dale Play and Ricky Luna. For those of you who listened to the Monique interview, you probably noticed that she has a bit of fire in her personality. The music business is a tough one and artists certainly need every bit of fire they can muster. Today Monique sets this toughness aside for an intimate cover of Rihanna's … [Read more...]
