la Mala sometimes sucks at this pop culture stuff. I didn’t watch half a minute of the Grammy Awards. Despite there being a completely separate Latin Grammy Awards competition and show, there were some Latino and Latin American musical winners on Sunday night.
So put your headphones on and listen….

Puerto Rico Says Presente for Jorge Steven Lopez Mercado
10:43 am By Maegan la Mamita Mala · GLBT| Justice| Puerto Rico · 8 Comments
27 Nov 2009The day after Jorge Steven Lopez Mercado was laid to rest, Puerto Ricans took to the streets in his memory and in search of justice. Also, the Puerto Rican Department of Justice agreed to investigate the brutal murder of Jorge Steven Lopez Mercado as a hate crime, giving prosecutors and judges the ability to seek more severe punishment. More on that in a separate post later. Pero,having worked with families of those killed in hate crimes, it’s important for me to see that the family and the community that the person came from be centered in the struggles that follow. Here is Jorge Steven’s mother, who has released numerous courageous statements following her son’s death, his father, and his young brother.

Calle 13’s Sin Mapa Out Today On DVD And Through iTunes
6:26 am By Maegan la Mamita Mala · Latin America| Music · Comments Off
28 Jul 2009 
Set for release by Sony Music Latin on DVD and through iTunes on July 28th, “Sin Mapa” (Without a Map) is Calle 13’s documentary experience of this journey of enlightenment through the less traveled mountains, rivers and villages of Peru, Colombia, Argentina and more in a quest to infuse their artistry with a broader global understanding. Sounds something like the Rican Motorcycle Diaries.
The documentary will make it’s big screen debut at the NY International Latino Film Festival on Wednesday.
I haven’t been exactly impressed with Calle 13’s latest offerings and their newest released song/video hasn’t changed my mind. With florescent colors and hypersexual imagery, Electro Movimiento con Miami Band Afrobeta takes us to the Ochentas (except wasn’t Saturday Night Fever in the 70’s?).
Quizas I haven’t had enough coffee to appreciate.
Sorry for the ad you have to deal with in the beginning.
Calle 13 on Al Punto con Jorge Ramos Yesterday Morning

Al Punto con Jorge Ramos is my favorite Sunday morning show. Not because I particularly like Ramos pero he does have some good interview subjects. Yesterday morning he interviewed Calle 13. and I thought that I couldn’t love Residente y Visitante more than I did, pero I now do.
The conversation on the Univision news/talk show, was more about politics than music and I appreciate the fact that Calle 13 didn’t shy away from their opinions.

Calle 13 Brings Those Behind Them Along With Announcement of New Album
8:14 pm By Maegan La Mala · Music| Puerto Rico · 2 Comments
6 Aug 2008
One of my favorite Rican musical duos is set to drop their third album and based on the title alone, it promises to be as politically charged as ever. Calle 13’s new album, set for release on October 7th, is called Los de Atrás Vienen Conmigo, or in English, Those Left Behind are Coming with me.
Despite commercial success, the Rican hermanos haven’t been afraid to tackle controversial issues head on, like immigration and the FBI murder of Machetero leader Filiberto Ojeda Rios.
The first single off the new album, with the same name, is set to drop later this month.
Calle 13 at Viña del Mar
9:49 am By Jennifer Woodard Maderazo · Chile| Music · Comments Off
26 Feb 2008
Last night was the last night of the Festival de Viña del Mar. On Saturday night Calle 13 tore it up, even performing in the dark after all the tech people had left the ampitheatre in the Chilean seaside city. In classic Calle 13 style, they made their performance relevant by bringing in local performers to participate with them up on stage and by shouting out their support of the Mapuche struggle. They also defied the mainstream reggaeton movement by dancing onstage, not with the skinny booty shaking girls, but with real sized women.
