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

May 8, 2013 by Leave a Comment
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...]

La Santa Cecilia 30 Treinta Dias 2013

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...]

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

April 29, 2013 by 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...]

Daddy Yankee Ft. J Alvarez – El Amante

April 28, 2013 by Leave a Comment
Daddy Yankee J Alvarez El Amante

Old school and the new era collide in this new video by reggaeton veteran Daddy Yankee and the hottest new talent J Alvarez.  Daddy Yankee brings his usual aggressive firepower to the track that is a stark contrast to the easy-flowing melodies and boyish charm of his young peer.  Together they sing of "El Amante" (the lover) and do their best to convince us that infidelity is acceptable when it's clear to both parties that it's nothing more than living in the moment.  If you can get past the … [Read more...]

Fito Blanko – Vamo Alla

April 24, 2013 by Leave a Comment
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...]

Mana – Labios Divididos (Ft. Thiaguinho)

Mana Thiaguinho Labios Divididos

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...]

Sak Noel Sito Rocks 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...]

Monique Rihanna Stay 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...]

La Santa Cecilia – El Hielo (ICE)

April 5, 2013 by Leave a Comment
La Santa Cecilia El Hielo

It's difficult to discuss the topic of immigration without emotion.  When this theme is presented by the soulful vocals of "La Marisoul" and her flavorful Los Angeles band La Santa Cecilia, the message resounds with an added power that only music can provide.  The video follows the recent budget-friendly trend of lyric videos, but the social message presented in the piece is anything but simple. For those who don't know, "El Hielo" means "The Ice" in Spanish.  In the context of this song, … [Read more...]
