How Babasónicos has been able to keep it cool for over 20 years (with virtually no creative flops) is something almost inexplicable and remarkable. Just last year, the legendary band was one of the few experienced acts to attain critical success in an Iberoamerican pop scene that's mostly packed with young blood. In an album where potential hit singles are omnipresent, it doesn't come as a surprise to see the A Propósito's compositional womb getting the promo spotlight. In this golden, ornate clip for "Tormento," the band goes historical and futuristic, in the best of the Babasónicos aesthetic. [...]

Some of my favourite electro pop artists are back at it again with another amazing remix. These guys literally spit fire, it's mind blowing how this duo from Chili is coming out with massive tunes comparable to almost anyone out there today. I'm loving their new remix of Babasonicos original "Muñeco de Haity". To be completely honest, never even heard of the original. Do I need to though? Probably not when Mawashi can provide us with a amazing electro pop remix of the original. I wonder if they've ever tried Hola Dancing? Hmm... [...]
Llegó el sábado y hoy le traemos una nueva lista de recomendaciones . Entre las bandas aparecen los grosos de Babasónicos, que lanzaron una nueva producción hace poco, Pony Bravo y un poco de música sevillana y el disco de la semana de Little Dragon entre otras cosas. Esperamos que disfruten las canciones como nosotros y conozcan una que otra cosa que todavía, quizás, no tenían en cuenta en su repertorio. "Muñeco de Haiti", Babasónicos El pop rock con tintes de funk nuevamente se hace presente a través de [...]
Y yo seguiré el consejo de Adrián, seguiré perdiendo el tiempo hablando de música con mis amigos, haciendo cosas tan improductivas y ociosas como escribir de ella (la música) y agradeciendo que por hacerlo, hoy puedo decir que conocí a un ser lleno de magia y encanto que sólo los afortunados muggles como yo podemos ver.

Allá por abril, Babasónicos realizó el lanzamiento de A propósito , el décimo álbum de estudio en sus veinte años de carrera. Con aquel disco, el grupo liderado por Adrián Dárgelos no sólo se mostró erguido frente al paso del tiempo y los infortunios que encontró en el camino –como el fallecimiento de Gabo Manelli , miembro fundador y bajista–, sino también ante un contexto devenido en un puñado de noticias que pusieron en evidencia la notable crisis del mercado musical argentino y de la identidad del rock nacional , como [...]
Transnational labels often get things messed up within their branches, which is why those of us based in the States never got a chance to watch Babasónicos' video for "Deshoras." This time around Universal Music got their act together for the release of "Muñeco de Haití," one of the most upbeat tracks on their latest album, A Propósito . Like in the quality of their albums, Babasónicos rarely disappoint with music videos, and their latest is yet another visual knockout. The video starts with Babasonicos looking like Ghostbusters or astronauts of some sort, until they release a village of [...]

A Propósito, Babasónicos Universal Music Latino, Argentina Rating: 80 ★★★★ By Carlos Reyes My first memories in becoming a rock & roll aficionado take me back to my sophomore year in high school (2003), a fortuitous year in every sense of the word. I'm not exactly sure when I started listening to rock, but I remember my twin brother and I would save money to buy the Latin Grammy [...]

De pronto se complica llevar a plazas fuera de la capital un concepto tan grande como es el Festival Vive Latino, porque no todos los estados cuentan con algún inmueble que pueda albergar a tal cantidad de personas y/o equipo, y así poder realizar a cabo un evento de [...]

It's been long (way too long) since we got to hear anything new from Babasónicos, when they released Mucho , Club Fonograma wasn't even around yet. Their new album is finally on its way. We often whine about how Latin Rock History got it all wrong, but bands with this caliber say otherwise. Like their cult-pop similar Los Planetas or Cafe Tacvba, Babasónicos is one of the hardest working bands in any circuit, and one of the few that have never failed us. With not a single bad record under their arm, there's nothing but anticipation for their new [...]

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 [...]

You're witnessing our return to college! Ok, so we couldn't post it this morning and by this time, it's old news. But such wonderful news! Coachella has announced five of our artists to perform at the festival, we would've liked to see something like Bam Bam, El Guincho, Natalia Lafourcade or Hello Seahorse! in there but hey, all this is going somewhere. So, congrats Aterciopelados, Babasonicos, Calle 13, Ceu & Zoe. Full lineup HERE .

El sábado pasado tuvimos una pequeña celebración con motivo de our dear lad´s b-day ( @diegosynthetic ). Una noche muy divertida y perfecta musicalmente hablando, fuí FAN total del playlist de la nite. So, para este post dejaremos atras el "synthetic", quitando así los altos niveles de sintetizadores, beats y demás que nos acompañan frecuentemente en este blog, para darle más vida y presencia al "rocks"... Esperamos que este post pueda permanecer online y a nadie [...]
We got the new Banda de Turistas CD a few days ago and it sounds pretty good, honestly, we didn't know about them until recently. Their previous 2007 release, Magico Corazon Radiofonico was one of the most praised rock albums of last year, how did we not picked up on it? I have no clue; it's one of those rare occasions that remind us that we are settled in the U.S. and people say it takes longer for music to get to us. Or maybe we were just too occupied with Prietto Viaja Al Cosmos Con Mariano. [...]

Empeza por aceptar tu maldad Un poco de autocrítica no te vendría mal Me agarraste desatento.... es que anduve por ahí, desprolijo porque si, En el arte de fingir me ganás, Aunque yo me esmero mucho. Si te presto mi confianza abusás, Me devolviste el corazón pertrechado. Algo pasa entre nosotros dos Y no quiero entusiasmarme con palabras Ya no hago más que especular, Mejor seria [...]

Mis favoritas de los babas!!! Babasonicos - Examenes Babasonicos - Fan de Scorpions Babasonicos - La Fox Babasonicos - Gratis

Pues para empezar el último sencillo (creo) de los Babasonicos, a quienes pude ver en el Vive Latino mientras me echaba la comida (hamburguesa), la verdad es que se rifan cada vez más. Pijamas Unas de Julieta Venegas, de la pelicula "Quemar las naves": [...]
