The Budweiser One Love Nutrifest will feature World Beat music with a uniquely multicultural appeal on Saturday, February 18, 2012 at Grand Central Park in Downtown Miami! A cornucopia of music will provide a feast of delights as world beat music takes center stage in Miami. A melodic smorgasbord featuring a musical genre for every taste – including reggae, Latin American, Caribbean, rock ‘n roll, and more.

Hitting the stage is a unique group of artists whose musical brilliance is eclipsed only by its message of love and hope.“I carefully selected this lineup because every artist has devoted their life to spreading a message that is consistent with our purpose,” said ROCKAZ MVMT president and CEO Alfonso D’Niscio Brooks. “We are all striving to change the world for the better by empowering people to make a positive difference through the universal language of music.”

Midnite: The legendary St. Croix roots reggae group teaches us to “keep good relations” with one another, despite the corporate greed and political discord around the globe.

Cultura Profetica: Puerto Rican reggae band with lyrics that center mostly on socio-political and ecological issues.

Easy Star All-Stars (by now we should all know): With the “Dub Side of the Moon“, “Radiodread” and “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Dub Band“, they have defined themselves as one of the most powerful reggae production conglomerates outside of Jamaica.

Gondwana (Chile): Spreading the word of Jah Love, standing tall and strong in a peace-loving position of musical and lyrical creation.

Jahfe: Here to let the world know that contrary to popular belief, Jah is real and His word shall come to pass. Representing the power of the youth and the wisdom of roots culture, their music not only reflects Miami’s diverse music scene but also the true ability of conscious music to connect with people of all backgrounds.

Jean P Jam: A special blend of world beat music they call Deep Roots, deeply rooted rhythms with globally encompassing lyrics to share, inspire, and expand what we know as world music.

This year’s concert will include a food drive benefiting Curley’s House, an organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for low-to-moderate income individuals, families, the elderly, youth-at-risk, the abused, and HIV/AIDS infected individuals by providing the nutrition they need. Guests will be asked to contribute two or more cans of food as part of the cost of admission.

On event day they will orchestrate an “island festival” of tents that will feature new products, special drinks, foods, art, and more. In addition there will be a non-profit village with a host of foundations offering information, art & crafts village, food vending village, green partners explaining the benefits of going green, workshops, bounce houses for children, bike valet, YOGA in the park, eco village, compost village, farmers market, VIP lounge, Recycling bins will be placed throughout the venue along with signage alerting attendees to the importance of recycling.

The Budweiser One Love Nutrifest is scheduled for Saturday February 18, 2012 at Grand Central Park (721 NW 1st Ave) in Downtown Miami.

Feliz viernes! It’s been a while since we bring a Hip Hop video, that’s why today we decided to let you know about a really good one. Miami based Llamabeats released the video of “Sick of it all,” from their upcoming album to be released real soon. Miami New Times named Llamabeats as one of “Miami’s Top Ten Underground Rap and Hip-Hop Acts.” All their projects (which usually feature a combination of live instrumentation and samples) are available for free download at their website, so there’s no excuse to not check them out… Pulso Y Pa’ Lante!

Feliz viernes! Today we bring the new Navegante video: a remix of the song “All In Your Head,” featuring rapper Young Chris! The original track (which appears in the album Rebel Ship Rock) is great, but the remix takes the song to a whole new level… The video was shot at the Rocawear headquarters in New York City and was directed by Rik Cordero, who has worked with artists like Nas, Jay-Z and The Roots.

We hope you’re ready for this electro-funk journey, because there’s nothing like it out there… Pulso y Pa’ Lante!

Luego de dos álbumes bien recibidos por críticos y fans, MonteRosa vuelve con “Vivo En Tu Amor,” el cual ya está a la venta en CDBaby, iTunes y Amazon. El artista colombiano radicado en Miami nos habló desde su estudio sobre la grabación y producción del álbum, sobre las canciones, sobre planes futuros y de paso tocó una versión acústica de una de sus canciones en inglés titulada “Long Way Home.”

A mi siempre me gustaba hacer experimentos en las clases de química en la secundaria porque no sabía que esperar de ellos. Para mi sorpresa, sucedió lo mismo cuando escuché por primera vez la banda Xperimento de Miami. No me esperaba esa mezcla de Cumbia, Reggae, Merengue, Ska, Salsa, Funk y otros elementos que me dio ganas de pararme y moverme al son de ritmos multiculturales. El disco “Second Floor” es uno que comienza bien y termina bien. A través del álbum se pueden apreciar distintos ritmos en distintos idiomas, haciendo que ninguna canción se parezca a otra y haciéndolo muy entretenido, tanto para bailar como para sentarse a escuchar.

La banda que denomina su música como “Latin Reggae Urban Soul” comenzó hace más de dos años uniendo músicos de Argentina, Puerto Rico, Venezuela y Colombia para así formar una mezcla interesante de ritmos latinos que solamente se puede dar en Miami. “Second Floor” es el primer álbum de la banda, el cual ya está disponible a través de iTunes.

A pesar de que los experimentos a veces pueden salir mal, parece que Xperimento es uno que salió bien. Está científicamente probado que su música es perfecta para la gozadera de día y de noche.

Aquí pueden ver el video del sencillo “Candela (Algo Muy Especial).”

¡Feliz viernes! Hoy sintonizamos la frecuencia de Elastic Bond, sonando desde Miami con un estilo único. La banda ha lanzado el video de la canción “Frecuencia Natural.” para promocionar el EP del mismo nombre. Han estado cinco años en la escena musical miamera llenando todos los clubes del sur de Florida con una interesante fusión de ritmos y melodías que ha sido muy bien recibida por el público. La banda se encuentra trabajando en el próximo álbum que se titulará “Real,” así que seguiremos esperando pacientemente mientras disfrutamos de “Frecuencia Natural.” ¡Pulso Y Pa’ Lante!

Sofy Encanto and producer Andres Ponce have been spearheading the blend of Afro-Latin, artsy soul-stew called Elastic Bond since back in the days of Myspace. Along with the evolution of times, sounds and personnel, the band has since established musicians Buffalo Brown (guitar) and El David Burgos (trumpet) as co-pilots on the mothership connection. Their latest indie-hatched EP “Frecuencia Natural” has brought the band along the east coast from North Carolina, up to crowds in Williamsburg. Last summer they showcased as one of the Local Bands We Love at LAMC in NYC; even garnering airplay on KCRW, as well as overseas. According to their upcoming music video written and directed by Benito Portes, this band has also recently been to outer-space… paradise and back. The “Frecuencia Natural” music video takes us through the fantastic voyage of a cosmic star-child fallen to Earth, all while Elastic Bond throws down what the Miami New Times describes as “Danceable, loving righteousness.” Frecuencia Natural! Te pone a gozar!

The release is set for this Friday, December 2nd for an Art Basel afterparty premiere at PAX Miami, where the band has been holding a residency on the first Friday of the month. This special night will feature DJ sets by Mr. Brown and Y Diz, a unique performance on stilts by the actors of Prometeo Theater with original music by Elastic Bond, live painting by Dexos, art by Eddie Earthtone Vegas, Frecuencia Natural remixes, and more. Check out a SNEAK PREVIEW of “Frecuencia Natural” below:

Here’s a little sample of what you’ll be hearing on the dance floor tomorrow night: http://soundcloud.com/djstereo77/november-2011-promo-mix

Happy Friday! Today we bring you something we wouldn’t cover, but it’s way too good to ignore. We’re talking about Gloria Estefan‘s new hit “Wepa“! Now, Gloria Estefan doesn’t need much introduction, most of us know who she is, but something worth mentioning is the fact that she is one of the most versatile artists in music today. She can sing from the most romantic ballad and sentimental bolero to the hottest dance track, in both English and Spanish. On her new album “Miss Little Havana“, Estefan took a bet on Tropical Bass (or at least what we would like to denominate as Tropical Bass) and made it her own! These tropical rhythms are slowly, but surely becoming the new sensation in the mainstream music arena; “Wepa” is the proof. Some people may think this is bad news for a genre that has been very exclusive and very underground, but it has made its way to the surface with it’s contagious rhythms that can throw even the stiffest mummy onto the dance floor. So dash off to your favorite club tonight and ask the DJ to put on some of that Tropical Bass. If they don’t have any, just school them on what it is and we’re pretty sure they’ll be more than willing to play it, no doubt about it. ¡Pulso y Pa’ Lante!
