Niko Eme – Traicionera

Niko Eme Traicionera

Nothing gets a the blood flowing hotter than a rapid mambo and tale of betrayal.  "Traicionera" ("Traitor") has us sitting on the edge of our seats, feet tapping and body swirling, as Niko Eme sings about a woman who thrives off of passion and apathy.  No matter how much love you give her, you'll only feel worse in the long-run ("Te Regale Mi Amor / Y Ya Nada Queda").  Few artists can infuse as much passion and meaning into an energetic dance or mambo track like the Twin Cities' Niko … [Read more...]

Fito Blanko – Vamo Alla

Fito Blanko Vamo Alla Spanglish Noise

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 Concert Review 4/19/13 @ Aqua Nightclub (Twin Cities)

Sito Rocks Concert Review Aqua Nightclub

Recently returned from the infamous Barcelona nightlife and the set for his new video "Party On My Level" with Sak Noel, the charismatic singer Sito Rocks found himself on a flight from the warmth of Miami to the April snow of Minneapolis.  A tweet from his hotel room exclaimed, "Feels like xmas" and the next few hours were presumably spent relaxing and testing out a local restaurant. I arrived at Aqua Nightclub around 11pm to find a few people getting a head start at the bar while DJs … [Read more...]

Niko Eme – Contigo

Niko Eme Contigo

Twin Cities singer Niko Eme has a hot merengue-electronico track to start off the week, which you can download below.  The song is called "Contigo" ("With You") and paints the story of being single while experiencing the early twangs of love.  At 20 years old, Niko never pretends to have the answers to love - who really does - but he excels at sharing his introspective thoughts through the lyrics. It is with great pride that I can also state that Niko Eme composed the beat to "Contigo."  I … [Read more...]

Sito Rocks – Hoy Tengo Ganas // De Lao A Lao

Sito Rocks De Lao A Lao Hoy Tengo Ganas

Sito Rocks is Miami's "renaissance man" in the sense that he is passionate about exploring just about any form of art he can fit into his busy schedule.  The son of a salsa percussionist from the 70s and 80s, Sito inherited a love for music that has led him to photograph famous musicians,  design graphic covers for albums, and form his own production and song-writing company Smash 11 Productions with producer Mario "Genio" Coto.  It's interesting to note that he has also been acting at the … [Read more...]

Madai Ft. Fito Blanko – Estar Contigo

Madai Fito Blanko Estar Contigo

Madai and Fito Blanko are regularly featured artists on our site, but we have never heard them sing together on the same track...until now!  Both singers are relatively new additions to Pitbull's label Mr. 305 inc, and their duet "Estar Contigo" successfully interweaves their lyrics to create a genuine love song.  Fito has always been a versatile artist whose style blurs the boundary between singing and rap and this is nicely contrasted by the beautiful smooth sound of Madai's vocals.  My … [Read more...]

Rihanna Ft. Niko Eme – Diamonds (Latin Remix)

Rihanna Niko Eme Diamonds Remix

The Twin Cities’ 20-year-old Latin urban singer Niko Eme first caught our attention back in 2011, where his ability to write catchy and meaningful lyrics instantly earned our admiration.  While his mixtape The End of The Beginning 2.0 is filled with pop and dance tracks, he has recently been experimenting with merengue-electronico (clearly inspired by Maffio) and it'll be interesting to see which styles end up on the album he is in the process of completing.  Niko has always remained true to … [Read more...]
