We’ve hyped Jazid and MiamiAlterLatino.com’s collaborative effort to expand your party horizons until our fingers grew tired. In fact, we’ve even told you about Fiesta Argentina previously.So why bring it up again? Because we’d be remiss if we failed to mention the opportunity to catch some noteworthy live performances at…
Let’s face it, everybody loves Top 10 lists. And everybody loves Transit Lounge, whether because of the ample beer selection, the reasonably priced drinks or their undying commitment to providing quality live shows. So, combining two things of extraordinary awesomeness into one, here’s something everybody is bound to love twice…
Enrique Iglesias honors his Miami upbringing with a new bilingual album
It’s Tuesday and you know what that means: Rock Star Karaoke at Transit Lounge. Yes, we’re sure you already know that every Tuesday you can take the embarrassing display you put on practicing to Rock Band in your living room on the road and actually embarrass yourself in public. Okay…
Yes, you read that right. Suenalo and Lanzallamas Monofonica are going to be laying down the nasty on the same stage at Transit Lounge tomorrow night. How the hell is that stage going to handle so much energy? Good question.How’s Transit going to contain the over the top descarga that’s…
No, this isn’t the Latina La Roux, though admittedly her hair is funky and awesome. Karina Iglesias is a local girl. She’s sultry, smooth and soulful. And though she may not be what first comes to mind when you think of Miami’s live music scene, perhaps she too should have…
The ongoing kickass series brought to you by the venerable SoBe live music haunt Jazid and MiamiAlterLatino.com continues to roll on, providing partygoers with a weekly passport to far off destinations.If you’ve been keeping track, you know that since tomorrow’s the last Thursday of the month, it’s time for Brazilian…
Radioboxer, the Readers’ Choice winner for Best Band in New Times’ 2009 Best of Miami issue, is now up for national recognition. I, for one, feel it’s about time — and you can help the fivesome along by voting for them in the current Dame Un Break contest sponsored by…
You might well be one of a large constituency who’s already had in reserve your tickets to one of Roger Water’s two shows this November 13 and 14 at the BankAtlantic Center for a few months now. Hell, you might be one of those who’s diligently procured some sort of…
If you haven’t caught Bachaco live, you’re missing out. Sure, you might be following them on Twitter, or friends with them on Facebook. Or maybe you sit at work jamming to tracks off their Myspace page. But the fact is, very simply, if you aren’t catching them live, you are…
Well, it seems that Miami’s most famous Colombian resident is once again making waves, and this time it has nothing to do with heated debate over Juanes’ well-meaning Peace Without Borders concert in Cuba (which didn’t go quite as planned). It’s not even about the release of his upcoming and…
The 28-year-old chanteuse Cat Shell had it right when she titled her debut album Cat’s Outta The Bag. Anyone who’s heard or seen her is no doubt in on it. Sure, Cat’s a true beauty, with all-American, girl next door good looks (if you happen to be a lucky neighbor)…
There was a time, in the not so distant past, that you would’ve turned the radio dial to just about any Latin station, east or left coast, and would have heard DJ Kane’s voice. That’s because he, along with Frankie J (then Cisco), were the lead vocalists for the group known…
What’s up, fans of Jazid’s International Thursdays? The series that has brought you such jammy jams as the Brazilian Cabana Cachaca, Rockea en Español, Noche Argentino and Parranda Colombiana adds a new theme to the apparently ever-growing sampling of international Latin landscapes. This Thursday it will break out Reggae Latino…
Let’s rehash one of those classic nuggets of wisdom that’s cliche but oh so true: “Things aren’t always what they seem.” Take, for example, that recently released bomb Splice, which seemed on the surface like a modern sci-fi manned by a respectable cast, but was in fact just crap wrapped in…
What would you call someone who recreates Sublime’s “Summertime” in lush, horn-laden jazz? What about someone who gives Outkasts epic hip hop-psychedelic slow jam “Spottieottiedopalicious” and gives it a facelift with an instrumental lounge vibe? Or someone who’s played with Beach Boys’ “God Only Knows” like a kid building sculptures…
As I’m sure you know by now from previous posts this week, last night was Premios Juventud and some of Latin music’s biggest names convened on the 305 to take part in the festivities. Sounds like a good time to hit afterparties, no? Well, that’s exactly what I did. In…
La Secta Allstar plays at Grand Central Saturday, July 17
Mexican rock trio Camila plays the James L. Knight Center Saturday, July 16
Are you literally giddy with excitement over Premios Juventud tomorrow, and tickets to the show be damned? Or perhaps all Spanish language tunage isn’t necessarily your thing, but you do like to get down to the dulcet ghetto-tones of reggaeton. You know, do a little perreando. Get your boricuada on…
When your most popular single is practically your native country’s second national anthem, I guess it’s safe to say you’ve made it. But then, Diego Torres had pretty much made it once he released his eponymous debut in 1992, which eventually hit triple platinum in his homeland of Argentina. Joined in…
Award season may be well behind us, but then, Univision doesn’t really know the meaning of the word “season” does it? After all, between the Latin Grammies, Lo Nuestro, Juventud and possibly a few others we’re forgetting, they seem to air one a week. Still, this one–Premio Juventud, for those…
