Domingo en Llamas (Venezuela) [from Club Fonograma compilation]

Hello Seahorse! (Mexico) [from Club Fonograma compilation]


You'll notice that I give mad props to Club Fonograma for putting together kick ass compilations. Half of the music for this podcast comes from their compilations. So go check them out... I admit it... they have better reviews and stay on top of things... unlike me... but hopefully my monthly podcasts are good enough to keep you folks coming back for more!

Marianne Dissard - "Les Draps Sourd" from "L'Entredeux"

Think of One - "Oppressor" from "Camping Shaabi"

Video: C'est beau la bourgeoisie

Song: C'est beau la bourgeoisie
Artist: Discobitch
Country: France

Discobitch is so hot in France, they named a Champagne after the group.
I know... It's EuroElectroPop and not everyone can stomach the pumping beats but think about it as experiment. Plus, you can't go wrong with a name like Discobitch. Why? Don't ask me alright just bobble your head and follow the pile of money that goes next to her, in France.

Video: Electro Movimiento

Calle 13 - Electro Movimiento


Song: Electro Movimiento
Artist: Calle 13 feat. Cuci from Afrobeta
Country: Puerto Rico

We post lots of Calle 13 videos. It's an obsession, we know. It's Bilingual Distortion's version of a LSD/pepas/crack with just a little bit of morphine and a side of opium. Not that we promote drug use, but it's a good analogy. Enjoy.

By the way... Here's some bonus material from the Myspace Sponsored band Afrobeta featured in the now infamous Electro Movimiento video... con el paso del robot.

I'll take Mr. Pedro Navaja (Ruben Blades) any day over Daddy McCain Yankee! Guess what reggaetonero is sad this week...
