America Sierra Ft. 3Ball MTY – Porque El Amor Manda

April 29, 2013 by Joseph Leave a Comment

America Sierra Porque El Amor Manda 2013 Spanglish Noise

Every collaboration that America Sierra and 3Ball MTY have released so far has been a smashing success. The electro-tribal sound of "Intentalo" was the first single to hit the spotlight and was soon followed by the track "Besos Al Aire." If third time's the charm, then today's new release "Porque El Amor Manda" is sure to spread across the airwaves faster than the 3Ball-influenced pointy-boot craze. America Sierra will be launching her debut album in the coming months and what better … [Read more...]

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

April 29, 2013 by Joseph Leave a Comment

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...]

Mana – Labios Divididos (Ft. Thiaguinho)

April 19, 2013 by Joseph Leave a Comment

Less than a week from performing at the 2013 Latin Billboards, Mexican band Maná has a new track today that features the Brazilian singer Thiaguinho. I honestly am not familiar with Thiaguinho, but my attempts to translate his Portuguese biographies indicate a background rooted in Samba. He received some buzz while participating on a reality show Fama, which is a Brazilian spin-off of the reality pop-star series Operacion Triunfo and Star Academy. Thiaguinho now has over 10 albums and … [Read more...]

VIDEO: Jenni Rivera’s Biopic Gets the Green-Light

March 18, 2013 by Joseph Leave a Comment

La Diva de la Banda is the official title of Jenni Rivera’s biopic and it’s ready to begin filming in April. It’s still not clear who will play the leading role, but production has been dropping hints of the possibility of Jennifer Lopez or Angelica Vale. It hasn’t been an easy road getting the green-light on this film, because acquiring permission to use Rivera’s name in the film was difficult being that the name Jenni Rivera is a registered trademark. The late singer’s father, … [Read more...]

Miguel Bose & Ximena Sarinana – Aire Soy

December 5, 2012 by Joseph Leave a Comment

Spanish-Italian singer Miguel Bose and Mexico's Ximena Sarinana teamed up for a new rendition of the song "Aire Soy," which originally can be found on Bose's popular 1986 album Salamandra. While at first glance this might seem like an unusual collaboration and song selection, the steady 80s drum beat and soft instrumentation in this piece actually fit Ximena's experimental musical interests quite well. The video presentation has an ethereal feel to it, where the absence of background … [Read more...]
