Bazuca Magazine

Polo y su banda

Being the first pocket size magazine to hi the Latino market since 2004, now Bazuca is online being pro-active about the scene, covering every important event in the areas of music, film and culture. Bazuca’s content is aimed at targeting latinos between the ages of 18 and over, and has done so successfully through the past few years.

Bazuca is definately a pioneer in the Latin Alternative niche, and has always provided an excellent coverage of artists and events. More importantly, each time you visit their site, theres something new and exciting to read, so I highly suggest you take a visit today.

Polo and company, great job! We’ll continue to follow your posts and events! You guys are definitely Latin Media Gurus!!

Los Amigos Invisibles Release Commercial

The boys from Caracas have released their newest production, Commercial, through Nacional Records…

The Amigos’ vision of creating dance music is once again visited in this album, as contagious latin grooves are fused with a sort of acid jazz/dance elements…

Its a dance party waiting to happen a la LAI….

I’ve always been a great fan of having my favorite artists collaborate, and Commercial features a few talented vocalists/musicians  like Jorge Gonzalez from Los Prisioneros, and the gifted Natalia Lafourcade adding their own flare to the album.

Check out these tracks por favor: “Mentiras”, and “Oyeme Nena”….

Is it another great reinvention of latin funk/dance or is it ‘mas de lo mismo’??

This is an interesting topic. Do you like to hear your favorite band evolve and use new sounds?

And if so, how much?

Or would you rather have artists stay within the lines of their style or musical genre and continue to give a sort of reinvention of their old material???

What does ‘Mas de lo mismo’ mean?? Well, if you Literally translate it it means “More of the same #$%@”. I would use MANA as an example since many accused them of doing it in their last albums.

What do you think?? let us know by leaving a comment :)
