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!!

Natalia LaFourcade En Vivo

Bazuca and The Conga Room Present

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 …

So as July gets closer, we’ll being having some post about artists performing at this LAMC.

I just confirmed with our friends from Nacional Records that the talented songwriter Natalia Lafourcade  will be performing at the LAMC in New York City.

Thats good news for everyone attending the 10th annual Latin Alternative Music Conference.

Check it out, Natalia will be playing two different sets on June 9th.

The first will be at the Bowery Ballroom for the LAMC showcase @ 4pm. The other set will be at S.O.B’s- Acoustic Showcase @ 8pm.  

Don’t miss out on her performances because she’ll definately rock!

I’m especially stoked that Natalia will actually be coming in my hometown, San Diego, California on June 10th @ the Exa Showcase.

And Yes I do plan on going!

Her latest album was just released and I recommend you hit her up on www.myspace.com/natalialafourcade

Quick Fact : Did you know she participated on Julieta Venegas’ MTV Unplugged album??? Well she did.

 
Check out her latest stuff!

The Latin Alternative Music Conference soon approaches, and so we’ll be having lots of coverage on artists who will be performing at the event! Interesting enough, since we started our site, we have already featured a few of the headlining acts: Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, and Los Amigos Invisibles.  We’re excited to find out that some of our favorites are going to be at the conference, hopefully you all can make it as well!  We’ll also be providing coverage on the  press and companies that are sponsoring the particular events. We want to give you  some background information on the magazines, media groups, companies/business that are all collaborating with the scene! As for now, enjoy of the complete schedule, its a lot of information to digest, so read it over a few times so you won’t miss out on anything!! We’ll be providing some pre-coverage of the shows we feel are going to be worth while and also doing the same for the panels that are going to be a part of the LAMC.  By the way, an inside source, a friend of Gurus has just confirmed to me that Natalia LaFourcade is going to be performing at S.O.B’s in New York on July 9th.

hasta la próxima,
