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...]

Mariana Vega – No Se Van

April 27, 2013 by Joseph Leave a Comment

The other night I had the great fortune to see Mariana Vega perform as part of the ASCAP Showcase for the 2013 Latin Billboard Conference. On a night that featured four of Latin's Leading Ladies (Mariana Vega, Debi Nova, Kany Garcia, & Lena), the Venezuelan singer provided a tranquil and heartfelt performance that truly won me over as a new listener to her music. Mariana's music clearly falls into the singer-songwriter category and she uses her strong vocal range to her advantage, ever … [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: Julieta Venegas New Album Inspired By Violence

April 10, 2013 by Joseph Leave a Comment

Five-time Latin Grammy winner singer-songwriter Julieta Venegas said that the drug-related violence that has swept her homeland of Mexico in recent years was the inspiration for her latest album Los Momentos. An estimated 70 thousand people were killed in drug-related violence in Mexico between 2006 and 2012, and Venegas felt that she had no desire to include romantic tracks on Los Momentos. Another theme on the album is motherhood. After giving birth to her daughter, Venegas states that … [Read more...]

Julieta Venegas – Hoy

March 21, 2013 by Joseph Leave a Comment

Julieta Venegas is known for her soulful pop ballads and the latest video "Hoy" ("Today") adds an electro-indie ambiance to this sound. The song begins with a thin instrumentation of solo vocals and synth piano that eventually swell with the addition of the drums, grand piano, and back-up vocalist. This theme of a rise or awakening is mirrored in the lyrics, where there is an unfolding moment of clarity and happiness - self-professed to be the first time this has occurred ("hoy por primera … [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...]
