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

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...]

Jerry Rivera 2013 Concert Minneapolis Salsa Twin Cities

Puerto Rican salsa star Jerry Rivera is performing in Minneapolis this Friday May 10th at Mango Bar and Grill. I was completely unaware of this event until yesterday, so I’m not sure what that says about the event promotions, but I’m now following the venue closely and will be in the loop for the future. Jerry Rivera has been singing for so long that he was initially called “El Bebe de la Salsa” (“The Baby of Salsa”) and his 1992 album Cuenta Conmigo is the best-selling salsa … [Read more...]

Tommy Torres & Nelly Furtado – Sin Ti

April 10, 2013 by Joseph Leave a Comment

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...]

Domino Saints – Exclusivo

March 31, 2013 by Joseph Leave a Comment

Puerto Rico's Domino Saints made a name for themselves last fall with the debut of their energetic mambo-pop single“Malas Mañas” ("Bad Habits"). Their latest song "Exclusivo" is an electro-pop track that would fit right in at a house party or bonfire on the beach. Gigi's pop vocals shimmer with a confident flavor that transitions nicely into the dancehall and hiphop influence of David's verses. Ever the versatile artist, Gigi deftly delivers her own speedy spanglish rap lines as … [Read more...]

Bruno Mars (English) & Cruzito (Spanish) – When I Was Your Man

March 4, 2013 by Joseph Leave a Comment

Bruno Mars' latest single "When I Was Your Man" is a soulful ballad that bares his emotions as he contemplates the shortcomings that led an ex-girlfriend to split and never look back. There are many reasons why people like Bruno Mars, for some it's the sincerity of his lyrics, for others it's his charm, and for me it's the soulful recollection of an era that I was never alive to witness. In an age where mainstream radio struggles to maintain a voice amidst the sea of over-produced pop tracks … [Read more...]

Ricky Martin & Draco Rosa – Mas y Mas

February 28, 2013 by Joseph 1 Comment

Ricky Martin and Draco Rosa are two incredibly well-known singers whose rise to fame began with the Puerto Rican boy band Menudo back in the early 80s. Although they eventually parted paths from the group, they continued to work together over the years and Draco was even involved with the production of Ricky's 1999 self-titled English album, which includes the famous Latin crossover song "Livin' La Vida Loca." Their 2013 single "Mas y Mas" comes from Draco's new album Vida, which releases … [Read more...]

Dyland & Lenny Ft. Pitbull & Beatriz Luengo – Sin Ti

February 24, 2013 by Joseph Leave a Comment

Puerto Rican reggaeton pop duo Dyland & Lenny recently released their sophomore album My World 2, which has a range of sound that spans romantic ballads to up-tempo reggaeton. The album contains a high level of musical talent, but is over-produced to the point that it takes away from the sincerity of the artists' passion. There are moments in the album where the emotion rides high and we are able to glimpse the duo's potential, but it honestly lacks the originality to separate it from … [Read more...]

Wesly Tones – Que Cuanto Te Quiero

January 16, 2013 by Joseph Leave a Comment

Puerto Rico has a rich history of musical excellence and most Latin artists should have no difficulty listing off at least one Boricua whose music has been an influence. In the case of newcomer Wesly Tones, one such influential Puerto Rican was his own father, who was a talented pianist in the internationally-acclaimed group Orquesta Costa Brava. Wesly’s musical career began with the tropical sounds of the band’s rehearsals that defined his childhood and their legacy will continue to … [Read more...]
