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...]

Daddy Yankee Ft. J Alvarez – El Amante

April 28, 2013 by Joseph Leave a Comment

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...]

Danny Fornaris – Se Me Para // Freak

April 15, 2013 by Joseph Leave a Comment

If you could spend a day shuffling through Danny Fornaris' iPod, I guarantee you that the results would be astounding. Once a reggaeton producer who kicked it with fellow Puerto Rican rappers Auudi and LG, Danny has since dived headfirst into a range of genres that span cumbia, rock, new wave, and bluegrass. Each release brings a different story and perspective that reflect his current interests. It's refreshing to see an artist who isn't afraid to experiment and Danny skillfully crafts … [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...]

Wisin & Yandel – Te Deseo

March 16, 2013 by Joseph Leave a Comment

Los Lideres are back with the video to their popular single "Te Deseo." Once known for their energetic reggaeton tracks, Wisin y Yandel have noticeably altered their style over the years in favor of dance-friendly pop songs. There are undoubtedly fans from the original days who don't like this mainstream approach, but the truth of the matter is that reggaeton is not a sustainable genre: what worked in 2004 no longer works today. Thankfully this duo stayed true to their musical style and the … [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...]
