El Arte de Nueva America

LatinTron DJ's: Zuleny Garcia and Edson Sanchez

By: LucyRock

So could have thought it? In one of our favorite chill spots Bohemeo's the Latintron Dj's hosted a massive musical listening party! Listening party that we not only went to distress over final projects time, but also and most importantly to hear some awesome quality good music!

We got to hear first hand:

Quiero Club - Nueva America

If you haven't heard them you need to, these crazy techno rock kiddos are one of the best bands coming out of the Monterrey Indie Scene. They play in either and both English and Spanish without any accent problems; and can make you boogie more than any song done by Ricky Martin or any other commercial Latin American artist. This particular band has played alongside to Kinky, Paramore, The Kooks and The Flamming Lips and even opened up for Depeche Mode.

Los Fabulosos Cadillacs - El Arte De La Elegancia

One of the biggest bands in the Latin Alternative Music World, Los Fabulosos Cadillacs have managed to do it again, and have decided to release a bunch of pop covers of their own B-side tracks, if your a die hard core fan, you'll probably start wondering by the second song and scream why did LFC went pop? But if your like me and adore them no matter what, specially that song "Matador" you'll like it; not their greatest work but I still dig it!

for more info on this crazily good original ska band go to their own website! http://www.fabulosos-cadillacs.com/

and the New cd releases of: Morrisey and Nirvana
