Last Minute Christmas Gift Ideas : Drugs

Thu, 20 Dec 2007 11:50:18 -0500

Ok, I'm totally kidding (I would never advocate the selling, buying, or distribution of drugs) but this picture that arrived in my inbox was way too good to pass up. Apparently there are three people licensed to sell the hallucinogenic cactus peyote in the United States and this guy is one of them.

In all seriousness, Peyote is a sacred plant, used, like many other plants, for religious ceremonies by many indigenous tribes in the Southwest region of what is now the U.S. In the U.S., the use of Peyote is protected but only as part of a religious ceremony (sorry druggies).

Last Minute Navidad Gift Idea : The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao

Wed, 19 Dec 2007 10:29:50 -0500

Ever since his breakthrough short story collection Drown came out almost 10 years ago everyone wondered what the Dominican writer Junot Diaz would do next. At long last we have an answer via The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao. Released earlier this year with much fanfare, Diaz has become the Latino darling of the literary world, again. The tale of a Dominican geek who gets no play is linked to larger Dominican history. The book is making the must read list of critics and pop culture mags alike.

"Los Cocorocos" is a concept that was born to relive the famed 70's clubs that thrived nightly throughout the Caribbean, specifically in San Juan, Puerto Rico. It is just the right CD for the true salsa fan, but also weaves newer breeds of sound like urban reggaeton.

The debut single is "Los Hombres tienen la culpa" by Gilberto Santa Rosa y Don Omar and can listen to it, here (Real Media)

But that's not all, folks... Vivirlatino has 5 CDs to give to our readers. If you are among the first 5 readers who can tell us another three latin artists that participate in "Los Cocorocos" you'll get the CD rdelivered to your door.
