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 …
Los Rakas Abrazame Video
Following their excellent turfed up video for Soy Raka, our favourite Panamanian/S.F. duo Los Rakas come in with another banger of a video for the Uproot Andy remix of Abrazame (summer anthem). Got to admit that even though I’m a tough guy, this makes me come over a bit tearey eyed, but don’t tell anyone. …
Panama Turf War
Everyone’s favourite Panamanian-Bay Area reggaetonica hyphie rockers, Los Rakas have just dropped their sick new video for ‘Soy Raka’. As you can see it’s mad sunny and full of nuts dances I can’t do. If you haven’t got it yet, grab their Hold Yuh refix by Uproot Andy that Boima posted and their highly awesome …
Down South with Poirier
Not content with his bashment-soca-dancehall maelstrom, Montreal’s excellent Poirier takes his dancefloor armageddon to South America for some latin tinged hammers with the ZZK crew. His new EP Las Americas Vol 1 features reggaeton inspired vocals from MC Boogat and its a killer as you would expect, named Kalima Shop Titi (after him out of …
Colombian Dancehall con Champeta!
Regular readers here will know that we are big fans of Colombian Champeta. Today at WFMU I posted a Colombian Dancehall tune with what I hear as Champeta influences, produced by DJ Buxxi, one of the big producers from the island of San Andres. I was put on to San Andres by the great Geko …
El Remolon Winter Heaters
El Remolon’s La Bonita was an awesome piece of colourful dubby cumbia that is perfect for chilling time. Not content with firing out more cumbia heat than is possible, ZZK have dropped a free bundle of unreleased El Remolon goodness. Similar to Villa Diamante’s excellent mash ups, these skillfully blend reggaeton dem bow drums and …
Alien Vocal Wars: Panama Vs Nigeria
I’m watching Duffy on MTV playing a live concert in Europe someplace. The sound is off. Even the crowd look bored. I’m bored! So I was thinking about crazy vocals. The autotune is kinda tired but there are some tracks out there that take it to another level. From Panama Cocoman’s ‘El Marciano’ (The martian) …
Ghetto Bass Reading Room
Right now I’m reading The Brief Wondorous Life of Oscar Wao. Proximo libro voy a leer Reggaeton. So , in celebration de mi actividades literarias diarias, voy a salirme de las paginas y me voy pa Tormenta Tropical tonight in San Pancho para chequear Maluca, y la HOME GIRL Isa GT. Who’s with me?
Mexican Rave Cave
I’ve been waiting for this for time. Toy Selectah’s just hit us with his crazy brand of Mexcican fire power in one neat package of Raverton Bangingness. 15 of his remixes smashing up loads of jams from A Milli to My Moon My Man. It’s bloody awesome, the kind of music you’d hear after an …
