Please, allow us to remind you that Pernett is one of today's most intriguing and creative personas in Tropical music. The Colombian musician is way more than your average 'Latin Fusion Exotic' act (you know, the kind that European festivals love), this guy has a dynamic scope of making anything he touches into something truly special. This time, he surprises us with a killing 'cumbiambero' remix to another master with an afro, our father Tego Calderón. "Tu le diste al switche" is a rare unreleased track by Tego; actually, it's a demo that leaked prior to The Underdog/El Subestimado [...]
Para muchos de nuestros lectores, ésta imágen será de lo más acertado para publicar lo que será nuestro querido post de hoy. Debido a que hoy, presisamente hoy quisiera que iniciaramos la semana de una manera diferente, "PERREANDO", como vulgarmente se dice, ya sé, suena terrorífico, no?! Pero me gusta el ritmo, apuesto que no sólo a mi, pero ya muchos se lo guardarán. Acá los ritmos diferentes a lo que comunmente manejan blogs y webs similares al nuestro serán bienvenidos siempre, pués sé que es esa una de las grandes virtudes de syntheticrocks. So... les [...]
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 [...]
You have no idea how much I like Tego Calderon, my frustration of people misunderstanding his art is now gone; as expected, I think pretty much by now he's proven to be the institution for Latin Urban and to me, if there's a god, he would be as cool as this ugly mofo. See, I think that if he was given a fare chance within the alternative groundings, he would be as popular and iconic as Calle 13, he's an amazing figure, worthy of among other things, headline any music festival out there. As Tego's music continues to transcend, reggaeton [...]
I still can't understand how Wisin y Yandel and Flex are now Latin Grammy winners, before urban god Tego Calderon , I'm sorry but that's seriously fucked up. Anyway, this post isn't much about him as he only does a tiny collaboration here; the shining protagonist here is Chyno Nino. His name is Andre Rodriguez from Puerto Rico, according to his MySpace he is "the favorite rapper of your favorite rapper." I am deeply impressed by the supremacy and command of his lyrics, a comeback to classic Hip Hop. He might not belong to the [...]
CONTRABANDA, PATO MACHETE EMI, México *** Rating: 64 By Carlos Reyes I've discussed in several posts how important was Control Machete , so much that there is a before and after, after their breakup it's been truly difficult for me to trust the hip hop made in Mexico. The three members of the alternative urban act from Monterrey are all currently working on individual projects; Toy Selectah is revolutionizing cumbia, Fermin IV explores [...]
One of our favorite song of 2007 got his video ! Apparently they wanted a video treatment à la Cité de Dieu . Seems like 'Ni Fu Ni Fa' it's the next single from Tego 's last album El Abayarde Contra-Ataca and it would be great if it pops up in the chart :) TEGO CALDERON - 'Ni Fu Ni Fa' Video posted by UrbanaNew.blospot.com
Almost exactly one year ago , we praised Tego Calderón 's previous album as the only good reggaeton album recorded up until then.. The Underdog is the new sound of the latin urban genre, a sound that blends Afro-Carribean influences with some of the hottest beats around. It's hip hop and reggaeton with soul and fuego . It took Tego a label change, a big budget, and almost two and a half years to complete the album. So I was slightly surprised when I heard he would release his next CD merely [...]
Tego Calderón is known and loved for his politically correct, 'alternative' reggaeton, often injected with traditional latin music elements. Though he kinda missed the big reggaeton hype, he is still regarded as one of the three strongholds of the genre (along with Daddy Yankee and Don Omar). The Underdog/El Subestimado is his major label debut, so you might expect a more mainstream gangsta sound
