Let's chill, shall we? We haven't chilled in a while. It's the middle of a long holiday weekend here in the States, so it seems like a good idea to me. And if you're looking to step out of your indie comfort zone--temporarily or just for a special occasion--you should try one of these bands. They're from Russia, Poland, Montreal, Argentina, and Japan, in that order. Très international, no? VFSix -- "Tears" mp3 off VFSecret ( buy ) [...]

argentinian singer-songwriter // latin guitar // downtempo The energy of Up, Bustle and Out, the passion of Gotan Project and the chill-out feeling of Thievery Corporation combine to form Federico Aubele's rich sound collage. His hypnotic guitar lines and mellow rhythms cross and layer with jazz and Latin music, for a thrilling, yet soothing sound. Federico is releasing his long-awaited album Panamericana in September, a follow up to his seminal 2004 album Gran Hotel Buenos Aires. "En el desierto" perfectly captures the feeling of this passionate new album. Distinctly [...]
I'm having an affair with another blog. I've recently started reading a Bay area blog called "I Pick My Nose" and I'm helping the owner and Standford KZSU DJ, Adrian, out with his " Song Obsession Fridays ." It's a weekly post that includes recommendations from from other DJ's and a few friends. Here is this week's post. Head on over to I Pick My Nose sometime and check it out. Adrian : Benni Hemm Hemm - Brekkan I saw these guys last Friday [...]
Song obsessions are those songs that we listen to on repeat. I noticed that my obsessions are often a week long. I also thought that other people might have similar obsessions. I've collected a panel of a few like-minded individuals and gotten their "song obsessions of the week." Quite often it's easy to explain why the song is good; it's much hard to explain why we're obsessed. Maybe you'll become obsessed with one of these. - Adrian ( me ): Benni Hemm Hemm - Brekkan (mp3) ( [...]
Has it been two years already? Damn! I could write an extensive post remeniscing the good ol' days , when this blog was written in Dutch and had about 20 daily visitors. Fact is, I still massively enjoy writing and designing La Onda, and I hope to spend much more hours looking for rare latin music and sweating over minuscule design details! Of course we're doing another giveaway for the occasion! You can win one of these two sparkling new and super hot albums: Calle 13 - [...]
Here in Belgium we have all the luck: two true masters of latin lounge music regularly provide us with their much-needed chillout tunes. Sven Van Hees and Buscemi have both played sets all over the world (including latin america), and since their first releases over ten years ago little changed in their style, or in their success. We're gonna review Buscemi's most recent record (which is all over the radio here), so you'll have to check out Sven Van Hees on your own. Retro Nuevo is Buscemi's fifth album, [...]
