Today Calle 13 and Cafe Tacuba’s tag team cancion Nadie Como Tu hits the radio airwaves. The single is the first official release from Calle 13’s highly anticipated third album: Los de Atrás Vienen Conmigo.
You can listen to the single here.
I love Calle 13 and Cafe Tacuba pero I’m not sold on this joint effort. No se. What do you all think?

28 Dec 2007This time of year is chock full of lists looking back at the year that is ending and VivirLatino is no different. 2007 was a year of great musica and I have my favorites. Here they are in no particular order:
Calle 13’s Resident o Vistante. How could my Ricans not be on my list. I was blessed enough to go to the release party and get close and personal with the chicos and I saw them sweep the Latin Grammy Awards in Vegas. Their lyrics are unbeatable and musica with a message always makes la mala happy.

I was able to hear/see a preview of Cafe Tacuba’s new work at Summerstage and now everyone can hear what the first-ever Latin act to headline at Lollapalooza has got. Sino is incredible. I am listening to it right now and I am deeply moved. The slower tracks like Seguir Siendo are beautifully composed and lyrically mesmerizing. Sino is the first new studio release in four years for the innovative quartet. Double Oscar-winner Gustavo Santaolalla is a producer on the album and the first single off the album, Volver a Comenzar has a great video (think artistic psychedelia with social commentary and cool guiyar riffs!)

Today is the last day of Lollapalooza in Chicago and what better way to close out a concert than with Cafe Tacuba. I already told you how much I loved them and the crowd they brought out here in NYC
and tonight the Midwest gets some of that musica. It is the first time a Latin-music group has ever received such an honor as headlining in such a mainstream concert. Tonight at 7:15 pm the Mexicano alternarockeros will be at The Adidas Stage as a sort of prelude to their first new/original album in four years, to be released late next month. Cafe Tacuba’s bassist-vocalist Enrique “Quique” Rangel said this is what they have planned for tonight according to an interview with the Chicago Sun-Times:
We are rearranging some of our standard songs. The sound of the new album is transforming the way we play live. We are getting closer to a pure rock sound on this album. Meme [Cafe Tacuba's Emmanuel del Real] is playing guitar instead of keyboards. And Ruben also is on guitar. We’re very happy with this sound.

Yesterday Cafe Tacuba rocked Central Park SummerStage. Opening for the rockeros Mexicanos were Rican reggaetonera/rapera La Sista. Her Afro-Caribbean rhythms had me moving my hips but she wasn’t that greatly received by the crowd. Pacha Massive was more welcomed with their more electronic sound even though I thought the Summerstage sound system did them no good. But the main act, Cafe Tacuba packed in Summerstage in a way I have never seen before. So much so that many a fan was left outside because the gates were shut.

I love living in New York City in the summer. Yes it’s hot and humid but the city offers some of the best free entertainment around. This fin de semana is jampacked with Latino events, thanks in large part to the Latin Alternative Music Conference. I hope some of you can make it. Maybe even you’ll find me!!
Tonight: In Brooklyn’s lovely Prospect Park bandshell Spain’s The Pinker Tones, Monterrey’s acclaimed vocalist Chetes (of Zurdok and Vaquero fame) and Mexico’s popular alterna-rockers, Zoé (and the suggested donation is only $3). For directions click here.
Calle 13 is playing in Times Square at the Nokia Theater.
Brooklyn’s a little far for me and I didn’t get Calle 13 tix so I’ll be staying closer to home in Queens to catch a little Brazilian flavor via the Queens Museum of Art Passport Fridays.
