A few weeks ago Rupture was quite rightly bemoaning the lack of coverage the Cosmopolatino media were giving to the man with the world’s greatest voice, Omega. How things change in a short period of time as here he is co-hosting Alex Sensation’s weekly top 5 tropical countdown. It’s good to see Don Omar’s Danza …

The People’s Princess
Maluca couldn’t be more New York even if she tried. Since Mad Decent dropped her debut Mixtape , I’m loving her crazy mash up of Caribbean sun kissed jacking merengue, rude reggaeton riddims and acidic tweaking clubby basslines. Large Up on Okayplayer have just made this exclusive webisode clip of Maluca reminising about illegal NY …
The Don
I don’t know who Lucenzo is, but he got Don Omar on a Kuduro-Funana beat and that’s okay with me. Gotta love the dialogue in the beginning! In case you don’t have it here’s the Don’s throwback jam that I’ve been hearing everywhere lately: Don Omar-Hasta Abajo Remix feat. Daddy Yankee And, if that one’s …
Mambo Peligroso en la Calle
Today some brain warping Mambo/Merengue de calle/Merengueton (Wot U call It ? – Very fast amazing Dominican rap business.

Rapido! Ahorita!
When it comes to the the shear innovative riddims of the Caribbean, it don’t get much more tropical than Dominican republics’ Speed merengue. I heard this stuff booming everywhere in Central America, there’s even loads of remixes of rap tunes blended with bachata guitar samples and raved up salsa horns which sound truly fresh in …
Volcanics Mix Erupts!
A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to return to Nicaragua for a little trip. Bootleg Cd stalls lined the street and the sound of cumbia blasted out everywhere. The music in Central America is pretty special because it has a huge melting pot of influences from South America, the US and the Caribbean, …
Donkin in the Caribbean
Ok I’m lying again. Its not quite. But its pretty much a Donk track till the amazing merengue comes in at 1:04. Stand up Dominicanas !!! Pike – Electromerengue
Trans-Atlantic Merende Style
It seems a good time to finally post on a connection that I had made, which may be superficial, but remains an exciting discovery for me to make. The past couple Sierra Leone parties/events that I’ve been to, I noticed a fast, double-timed drum music, programmed on synthesizers, that for some reason I’ve been associating …
