Como bien muchos sabemos, Miami es un mundo gigantesco en cuanto a música se refiere. Dentro de este mundo, diferentes historias se convierten en melodías que nos transportan a distintos lugares y momentos. Por ejemplo, al escuchar “La casita” del grupo miamero Bikini Jazz fui transportado a una noche de rumba en una sala de baile bajo un cielo estrellado…

Un tipo de junte como Bikini Jazz solo puede suceder en Miami, al ser una banda fundada por tres personas de distintas nacionalidades: Cuba, Colombia y Venezuela, y esto es lo que hace que su música tenga una extensa gama de influencias y sonidos multiculturales. El grupo de “Latin Fusion,” que se formó luego de un inesperado jam session, se encuentra grabando su primera producción a ser titulada “La Receta de la Felicidad.” ¡Ya puedes escuchar dos temas de la producción! ¡Simplemente da play arriba para que seas transportado a una buena rumba miamera!

Filtered Sunshine Radio and Pulsobeat.com invite you to enjoy an evening of the finest and deepest selections of dance-floor flavours from all across the globe, as performed by Central Florida’s most diverse and forward thinking DJs and musicians.

Beats From The Barrio offers the listener & club-goer alike, an alternative approach to what “Dance Music” can sound like … Tropical Bass soaked in Afro-Caribbean flavors or slow and low Disco vibes from a universe unknown. How about some Latin influenced dance-floor Jazz, House, Dub and Funk? In short, a global movement via sound, inspired by and from the barrio.

For lucky number 7, the FSR crew unites to celebrate 7 years of rocking the Central Florida airwaves on WPRK 91.5 FM! Featuring live DJ sets from Pranksta and Dennis Mero, and a live performance from FADERKEY (Stereo 77 & Jorge Collazo.)
Not enough for you? Our friends from La Empanada Food Truck will be cooking up the finest Empanadas to energize you while you dance all night!

As a music lover, I’m always looking for new music and innovative sounds around the infinite cluster of music that exists today. In the quest I stumbled upon Camellia Sessions, a record label releasing a series of albums with a cool concept behind them, which they refer to as “Re-Lived” Music. Camellia Sessions has selected classic songs from throughout many decades and features a select lineup of musicians and artists re-recording them with a fresh and contemporary sound. These recordings reminded me of a lot of songs I’ve heard before, mostly in my childhood when my grandparents listened to these classic tracks on the radio, and I must say, these “Re-Lived” tunes give justice to the original songs. The only way to prove it is by listening to the releases:

“Neo.Son” by Neo.Son: Comprised of sultry vocalist Natascha Bessez and electronic music wizard Gabó, Neo.Son’s music is a whole electro lounge experience. They recorded fun, sensual and loungy versions of Buddy Holly’s “Everyday”, Nat King Cole’s “Perfidia”, Donovan’s “Mellow Yellow”, Desi Arnaz’ “Babalu”, Sammy Davis Jr.’s “You Are My Sunshine” and more.

“After Hours” by Charlie Sepúlveda: You should make yourself comfortable for this one. The inviting sound of Charlie Sepúlveda’s trumpet accompanied by a lonesome guitar will make you wish you were on a lounge hanging out with your buddies with a cocktail in hand. Sepúlveda “Re-Lives” classics such as Hoagy Carmichael‘s “Stardust,” Ray Charles‘ “Georgia On My Mind,” Tony Bennett‘s “Skylark” and Xavier Cugat‘s “Cachita.”

TROPICALISMO: Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month

You can RSVP at the end of the article!

With a foot in the Caribbean and another in the Pacific, Colombia is at the crossroads of the Americas. Its privileged geography is also a musical boon, as the confluence of African, indigenous, and European influences has produced one of the world’s greatest countries for live music – from cumbia to salsa to champeta and beyond. Based in Calí, Colombia since 2007, the UK-born Will Holland has been playing under the umbrella name Quantic for over 15 years as a producer, musician, and DJ. On Wednesday, October 12th, he will be at Fluid Nightclub for the Tropicalismo monthly to help Philly close out Hispanic Heritage Month.

Deemed “at the forefront of a new global sound” by Gilles Peterson of BBC Radio 1, Quantic has been evolving and involving various styles like funk & jazz to electronic & folk music through to Latin, reggae, dub & cumbia through his over ten-full length albums on Tru Thoughts. His latest is “The Best of Quantic) and it spans the breadth of his music. As Holland explains, “I try to make music that encourages people to explore outside of their usual listening circles and check scenes and genres they may otherwise never be exposed to.”

Here’s a link to a mix by J.Rocc, of Quantic’s music: http://soundcloud.com/tru-thoughts/best-of-quantic-mix-by-j-rocc

Pernett’s “folkclor progresivo” (as he also calls his music) pretty much sounds like what we imagine traditional Colombian

Quantic

music will sound like in 2111: a psychedelic, electro hybrid of Afro-Colombian percussion and rhythms with funk, techno, pop and hip hop. He came to the blend by marrying his two passions: computers and music, in particular the Afro-Colombian and coastal rhythms like cumbia and champeta heard in his native Barranquilla.” (As written by Monika Fabian for MTV Iggy’s ‘Artist of the Week’)

Quantic and Pernett embody the musical spirit of TROPICALISMO, Philly’s Afro-Latin-Caribbean monthly blending old-school rhythms with nu-skool riddims. Resident DJ Juanderful, himself of Colombian descent, will be proudly pulling out his old Discos Fuentes’ vinyl as he sets the tone for a raucous night of claves, trumpets, and lots of drums.

He’s also producing some great sounds, check out his SoundCloud page. His events (The Boom Bap, Body Rock…) and guests invited to the area are top-notch. Rolling deep with the Ill Vibe crew and doing the Eavesdrop radio show as well. I can continue but you must know by now that this night is going to be nitty nasty, sweaty funky good times.

Desde Puerto Rico, la Orquesta El Macabeo está compuesta por 13 rockeros que están poniendo la salsa al día. Si los ves en la calle nunca te imaginarías que tocan en una orquesta de salsa ya que no visten como salseros, e incluso algunos de ellos portan tatuajes. Es algo que no cae bajo ningún estereotipo tradicional y así mismo es la música que crean. Es salsa de la dura creada por punkos, por eso es que el sonido del Macabeo es tan diferente y refrescante. Llevan creando y tocando música desde el 2008, haciendo mover a los bailadores y contagiando al público con el sonido salsero lleno de impurezas provenientes de otros géneros, impurezas que crean algo puro y nuevo.

En diciembre de 2010 lanzaron su primera producción musical titulada “Salsa Macabra”. En el álbum se pueden escuchar canciones que son simplemente para vacilar, como “Charlatán” y “Macabiónico” y también canciones más serias, como “La Noche” y “La Culpa”. Es un álbum muy diverso y trascendental que promete complacer y poner a bailar a cualquier fanático de cualquier género musical.

El disco fue grabado en Monopolio Records y fue mezclado y masterizado por José Ibáñez, bajista de la orquesta.

¡Aquí tienen el link a dos canciones gratis de “Salsa Macabra”! Una seria… ¡y una pa vacilar!
