This past weekend, Austin, TX's Fiesta Gardens hosted the fifth annual Pachanga Fest on May 11 and 12, a celebration of Latin art and culture's influence in America. Numerous genres were represented on the three stages, from rock, tejano, mariachi, cumbia, salsa, electronic, funk, hip hop, to indie, and although the origins or the artists were just as varied, all attendees were united by the appreciation of the vibrant and eclectic art. Day one started at sundown, and Peligrosa, Austin's DJ troupe, entertained between Houston's Chingo Bling, New York's Outernational , and Puerto Rico's Calle 13, [...]
Oh, Bonnaroo . You do it to us every time. Year by year, over 80,000 people make the pilgrimage to a field in the middle of nowhere, Tennessee to camp for four days in the blistering heat with little to no refuge and more dust than anyone should be able to handle. That sounds kinda miserable, right? How then, you might ask, did Bonnaroo make it to this, their 10th year? I think that can be summed up in their newfound theme song, by the Del McCoury Band and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, "Bonnaroo (Feel the Magic)". [...]
Beirut - "O Leaozinho" (Caetano Veloso cover) by znaki.fm Beirut, the music project headed by Zach Condon, is going on tour. Good news. He's going on tour with Arcade Fire, the National, and Twin Sister. Better news. He's also contributed a track to the Red Hot Organization's benefit album, Red Hot + Rio 2 : a cover of Caetano Veloso's classic Tropicalia ballad, "O Leãozinho." David Byrne was the one who brought this sweet, haunting love song to the American [...]
Since Coachella and Sasquatch! sold out before some folks even had a chance to crack open their wallets, there hasn't been much need to add a Prince, let alone Die Antwoord . But Bonnaroo is a different type of animal, especially since the Manchester, TN-based festival all but has an unlimited capacity. Plus, with two main stages, three tents, a comedy castle, a cinema, and countless other performance areas, organizers usually take their time in revealing all the planned festivities. Now, two months after the initial 2011 lineup announcement , Bonnaroo has [...]
Desta vez, não há por aqui grande tempo, nem paciência, para listas inacabáveis de discos e afins. Só concertos, e mesmo assim, com pena de não ter assistido a dezenas e dezenas de espectáculos que aconteceram ao longo de 2010 e nos quais, pelas mais diversas razões, não pude aparecer. Este é aliás um dos anos em que assisti a menos concertos. Deu ainda assim para juntar alguns dos que mais
"In Brazil, forró literally means party," says Forró in the Dark's Mauro Refosco , a member of Thom Yorke's super-group Atoms for Peace and percussionist for David Byrne . "It's a gathering, a good time. The objective is to make people dance." That's exactly what Forró In The Dark have been doing since 2005 at their weekly residence at East Village nightspot Nublu . Their signature blend of down home forró and urban cool have made them one of the city's most creative...
Having a Brazilian sister-in-law certainly has it's advantages. Like being fed amazing rice and beans and the greatest guacamole ever created by man (or woman) when I visit her. It's also opened up an entire country's worth of music to me.
Mauro Refosco (tambor zabumba), Davi Vieira (percussão), Guilherme Monteiro (guitarra), e Jorge Continentino (saxofone e pífaro) são quatro brasileiros emigrados em Nova Iorque, como tantos outros. Músicos, como tantos outros. Mas os quatro formam também o colectivo Forro in the Dark, único na forma como casa o forró do Nordeste brasileiro com outras músicas, do rock ao jazz, numa maneira,
São sete os novos nomes a anunciados pela organização do FMM de Sines, todos oriundos do continente americano. A saber: La 33; 34 Puñaladas; Céu; Novalima; Las Rubias del Norte; Grupo Fantasma e Forro in the Dark. O "programa latino" do FMM 2010 começa ainda em Porto Covo, no dia 24 de Julho, com a actuação de La 33 (Colômbia), uma das mais interessantes orquestras de salsa da actualidade. Formada em 2002, em Bogotá, La 33 grava o primeiro disco, homónimo, em 2005, tornando-se a sua versão salsa do tema da Pantera Cor-de-Rosa, de Henry Mancini, um êxito [...]

It's been a while since I've posted anything from Pelski favourite Solo (for those who missed it, check out his criminally underrated remix of The Heavy and as well as his recent Wiley re-rub ). And now New York's Nublu Records just dropped this gem into my inbox, a Solo remix of Ferro In The Dark's 'Perro Loco' - seeing a full release on 23rd March. Solo brings his trademark thud of percussion, that borders on the tribal, interspersed with disco pads and an impossibly uplifting sax. Addictive listening: Forro in [...]

CD REVIEW Forro in the Dark: Light a Candle (Nat Geo Music) So I'm making lists and taking names. Not in some elfin devotion to Christmas, no...these are lists of my favorite albums of 2009, names of the bands who created the music. One that has been simmering in the back of my mind for some time is the latest CD from NYC-Brazil troupe Forro in the Dark. It hasn't been at the top of Spin The Globe's playlists, but on [...]
Filed under: News , Songs , Exclusive Brett Dennen initially garnered attention -- rapidly and organically -- back in 2004, when he came out of the gate with great folk songs that were deeply humanist, driven by emotion but laced with political undertones. His innocently disarming voice and awkward mannerisms didn't hurt either and his charm hasn't escaped his fellow singer-songwriters. In fact, in the past couple of years he's been joined by a single-file line of noteworthy accomplices: he's sung duets with Mandy Moore [...]
It's another stellar week for new releases, with the highlights being a fierce psychedelic offering from the Flaming Lips and what's sure to be a divisive Christmas album from none other than the Hibbing Jew, Robert Zimmerman, better known as Bob Dylan.
Here at WSIBTW HQ, it's our mission each week to steer you towards the new releases we think you'll find most deserving of your attention. With that in mind, you can rest assured that we have no intention whatsoever of pointing you at the high-profile Christmas albums released this week by two of the most beloved singer/songwriters to emerge from the '60s. We're not naming any names, but if you're thinking they rhyme with Job Killin' and Steal MyFund, you might not be off the mark. Instead, we've lined up some up-and-coming electro pop, some Brazilian bounce with a world-dance [...]
Playing in a small club Friday night, Radiohead's Thom Yorke debuted his new band in a "low key" but very public dress rehearsal. Backed by some of music's greatest, Yorke played his entire 2006 solo album, The Eraser, along with some alternative takes on Radiohead songs and premiered four new songs, which he performed completely unaccompanied. ("Open The Floodgates", "Lotus Flower", "Skirting On The Surface", and "Judge, Jury, & Executioner" ) The band consists of Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea, Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich , Beck/R.E.M. drummer [...]
