I don’t know what was more fun last night. All the amazing music I heard and danced to, or all the amazing people, including indie musicians, I met and spoke with. But why choose? Let’s just say both and be done with it.
Forro in the Dark was the ultimate culo shakers! And if you just think these guys are one trick ponies with Brazilian beats, you’d be very wrong. They had peeps dancing to cumbia and all their music has a little bit of rock in there (plus all the musicians are hot)

Guajiro, a Miami based rock, pero rock duro band, had people moshing. See for yourselves.
For more photos and videos of the LAMC events, check out my Flickr LAMC set. I will be continuously updating as the LAMC continues.

I am so psyched! I’ve been wanting to attend the Latin Alternative Music Conference since it started and this year VivirLatino will be there. The 9th annual LAMC features concerts with some of my favorite Latino musical acts including Julieta Venegas, Miranda!, Emmanuel Horvilleur from Illya Kuryaki & the Valderramas, Alex*Cuba and Forro in the Dark. There are panels, including a panel on blogging and the Latin alternative scene that I will definitely be at.
You can go too! Log onto http://www.latinalternative.com/ and register to catch what promises to be some of the best music and music talk this verano.
VivirLatino is a daily publication published by Mamita Mala Media, dedicated to featuring all the latest politics, culture, entertainment of interest to the diverse Latin@ diaspora.
