Most people associate Cinco de Drinko Cinco de Mayo as being the Mexican holiday that recognizes a day of Independence. When in fact, the day is more of a fabricated holiday, much like some of the other holidays we observe here in the US as a marketing ploy to make some quick bucks. In actuality, Cinco de Mayo is the win in the Battle of Puebla over the French. El 16 de Septiembre (16th of September) is the true day of independence celebrated in Mexico. To commemorate the Bicentennial, Nacional Records will be releasing, [...]
You may remember my little rant last year about Outside Land's ridiculous choices for their 2009 line-up . This year I am no longer angry at their choice of bands; this time I'm more...confused. It's quite obvious that Outside Lands is lacking on budget and local support. The once three day long juggernaut that boosted acts like Radiohead, Tom Petty, Dave Matthews , and Pearl Jam has now become a fraction of festivals like Bonnaroo, Coachella, and Sasquatch. It was once a worthy opponent, but now I'm not so sure. Lets start with the headliners; [...]

De acuerdo al recuento oficial, más de 75.000 personas asistieron diariamente a esta versión del festival de música Coachella, en la ciudad californiana de Indio. Artistas como Jay Z, Vampire Weekend, The Dead Weather, MGMT, Gorillaz, Thom Yorke, y más, fueron los encargados de animar esta onceava versión de uno de los festivales de música más grandes del mundo. El tráfico en la carretera, las más de tres horas de espera en la entrada, las frecuentes e interminables colas para los servicios básicos, y el agobiante calor valieron más que la pena para ver tocar a nuestras bandas favoritas, todas [...]

If you are like me, you want to go to Coachella this year more than anything .. but sadly cannot.

This does not mean, however, that you or I cannot get a small taste of the Coachella experience! Check the list ( h/t CoS ) below, for the band's who will be broadcasted via webcast for this year's festival. I have bolded the bands I would like to watch .. from my couch. [...]

If you're not into a night with a psych-rock act, than maybe you'll be interested in hitting one of these [...]

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Exclusive In Latin America, particularly Mexico, Coachella is much more than a music festival -- it's an obsession. Every year, "pre-Coachella parties" are thrown in cities such as Tijuana, Guadalajara and Mexico City, featuring DJ sets by acts who have previously performed at the festival. Organized travel packages to Coachella sell like hotcakes, with Mexican hipsters crossing the border each Spring in the name of rock music. Since its founding in 1999, Coachella has distinguished itself as one [...]

As first alluded to in our recent interviews with Bonnaroo co-founder Ashley Capps, the Manchester, Tennessee based music festival will look to expand on the success of last year's "Africa!" themed tent by bringing a Latin themed tent to this year's edition.

Included to take part are Ozomatli (who will also MC the stage), Los Amigo Invisibles, Aterciopelados, the Mexican Institute [...]

Yo no sé si soy la única, pero supongo que sí soy de las pocas personas que nunca ha asistido a un Festival Vive Latino . Francamente, cada vez que veo el nuevo cártel me pongo a pensar cuántas de esas bandas ya estuvieron el año pasado, o el anterior, y el anterior a ese. Además, muchos de esos grupos aparecerán también en otros conciertos, como abridores, etc. Total, que si de verdad quisiera verlos, tengo muchísimas más oportunidades. De hecho lo más atractivo del Festival desde hace unos años han sido las bandas extranjeras, [...]
