We don't know about Europe, but over Panamérika the sun is shining and springtime makes itself felt as the coldest winds seem to fade. Unexplainably, the birds still seem very angry, so we'll play them some tropical tunes to make them happy. Come and get carried away by the anger of our avenging birds! Las Chicas Lindas and BN Loco welcome the journey with 'La Cumbia De Los Pajaritos Emputados', followed by Grupo Maravilla and their 'Angry Birds Cumbia', and 'Villa Alemana', a cumbia villera homage to Kraftwerk by The Peronists. We also have a song for all the upsetters [...]
mp3: Jerry Green and The Passengers - Puerto Rico When Puerto Rico was released on Atlantic in 1964, drummer Jerry Greenberg already had his own label and was immersed in the music business. Ten years later, aged just 32, he became President of Atlantic records; apparently the youngest person to ever to head a major. He went on to work with ABBA, Led Zeppelin and Michael Jackson, among many others. But, who really cares about all that? Today's selection is a top-notch Latin-infused tittyshaker -- that's the main thing.
Put on your cowboy boots 'cause the dancefloor is filled with stingy bugs. We brought a very sharp collection of insidious and even deadly songs. Let's start this incursion into desertic terrains with 3Ball MTY and their smash hit '"Ritmo Alterado'. To intensify the pulse Tijuana's Los Macuanos appear with the song that, thanks to a contest by Red Bull Tour Bus Videotheque, will soon become a video. After that we'll make an excursion to the dangerous state of Durango in Mexico - infamous for its desert scorpions - where we'll listen to tracks by Los Primos De Durango with [...]
Michel Telò , dopo aver spopolato in mezza Europa, cerca di sfondare anche oltreoceano con la versione americana del tormentone di questo inverno. E così esce fuori "If I Catch You", traduzione letterale dell'ormai celebre titolo "Ai Se Eu Te Pego". Anche il testo di tutta la canzone subisce una traduzione molto fedele all'originale ( e questo non sappiamo se è un bene). In linea di massima quindi non ci sono stravolgimenti notevoli nella struttura del brano. A cambiare invece è il video ufficiale (qui in alto il contributo). C'è sempre lui che canta (prossimo al [...]
Summer sounds that much closer after listening to Rene Lopez's, Shing-a-ling Is What I Bring. Has that old school Marvin Gaye summer time sound, but in the barrio. Rene Lopez - Shing-a-ling Is What I Bring Press Release: Rene Lopez will be proving that February is the month of love with appearances at Nublu every Thursday during the month. He will additionally be appearing for a performance at Arlene's Grocery on February 28 th [...]
La cantante rumena Inna viene molto apprezzata (magari più per le sue forme che per la sua musica). Pare che sia proprio il suo il remix del tormentone "Ai Se Eu Te Puego" di Michel Télo che sta spopolando in quest'ultimo periodo. Anche in questo caso, come nell'originale, tanto gaudio e spensieratezza colorano la canzone. Una cover femminile più dance che non mette da parte le atmosfere danzanti che caratterizzano la versione madre. E voi quale preferite tra le due? "Ai Se Eu Te Puego" (Michel Télo). Canta Inna [...]

Video: Sazon Booya - "In Your Eyes" You guys, we've been talking about how amazingly talented Mr Vega is since way back in 2008 when he used to send us remixes of blog house hits the day those tracks would come out (doing his edits on the actually MP3 files, which still seems absurd) and now, going in to 2012 with his newest project Sazon Booya and his own productions, we can't wait to see what's going to come next. Godspeed!
Anthony Joseph is now one of our 'resident DJs' with this third mix, the second part of his The Rubber Orchestras Paris DJs Mix: From the Plantation to the Revolution and also the third volume of our World People series. We had the chance to meet him last week in Paris, and even if we knew it while listening to his albums and mixes, we can assure you the man has got the vibe! We've put up a few photos from this day up, check them here . And it's still time to rush into a record store [...]
L'atmosfera natalizia contagia i frequentatori del portale Play.me e, come per magia, anche la nostra Streaming Chart indossa il vestito delle feste: fanno il loro ingresso in Top-ten l'immancabile All I Want For Christmas Is You di Mariah Carey, alla #10, e Santa Claus Is Coming To Town nella versione di Michael Bublè, alla numero 7. Alquanto estraneo al Xmas Mood risulta invece l'altra new entry di settimana: è Fuck With You di Bob Sinclar ft Sophie Ellis Bextor, alla posizione 9. Fa decisamente più veglione [...]
Did you pass on La Verdad , the latest Bio Ritmo album released at the end of the summer on Electric Cowbell Records ? If that's the case, then you've missed the Salsa album of the year, no less. The only letdown of this fantastic and frantic record is its length - under 40 minutes - definitively too short, but explainable by the fact that it's also available on a (heavily recommended) vinyl. Rei Alvarez, one of the main forces of the group, prepared for Paris DJs a mix of his old vinyls, the only kind of records [...]
Couple légendaire de la musique portoricaine, Rafael Cortijo et Ismael Rivera se rencontrent en 1948 alors qu'ils ont à peine vingt ans. Ils jouent pour la première fois ensemble dans le Conjunto Monterrey, "Maelo" au congas et Cortijo au bongo. Ils deviennent très vite amis et aiment à se retrouver pour jouer ensemble, tandis qu'ils se produisent professionnellement pour diverses formations. En 1954, Rafael saute le pas et décide de monter son propre orchestre où bomba et plena , les deux styles traditionnels de l'île, seront à l'honneur. Rivera est [...]
Between his releases under the Nostalgia 77 name (with a fourth album released earlier this year on Tru Thoughts Recordings, The Sleepwalking Society), collaborative projects such as the afro-jazz of Skeletons, the Afro-Latin of The Rhythmagic Orchestra, or the Funk-Rock of The Broken Keys, producing music for Alice Russell, Lizzy Parks, his own UK jazz label Impossible Ark Records… and a plethora of remixes, Benedic Lamdin just seems unstoppable. He's at the forefront of today's Jazz musicians in the UK while always exploring new styles. His new album is empowered with overtones of blues and folk, while the remixes available [...]
When we stumbled upon the World's Funkiest Covers compilation just released on US label Cultures of Soul Records, we exclaimed: 'Damn! Those cats have really been Molesting Laura the Paris DJs way!!'. Their selection, available on CD and glorious vinyl, carefully selected by DJ Deano Sounds, features indeed some of the funkiest covers from around the world and throughout time, from deep funk to latin soul, hard salsa, soul, afro beat, and even cumbia. We couldn't pass on the opportunity to invite the label to do a special Molesting Lauramix and they nailed it for real!! Enjoy these [...]

Même s'il surfe sur la vague mambo-chachacha qui envahit l'Europe à la fin des années 50, le groupe Chakachas est tout ce qu'il y a de plus belge. Ou presque. Flairant la bonne affaire, le percussionniste et arrangeur Gaston Bogaert monte un groupe et embauche la chanteuse Kari Kenton, d'origine cubaine, seul apport latino authentique. Dès l'année 1958, le groupe fait un tabac avec " Eso Es El Amor " et enchaîne les singles. Imitant avec une facilité déconcertante les styles de l'époque, le groupe parvient même à se glisser dans le classement [...]
