soda%2Bstereo.jpgLast month Maegan told us about rumors that legendary Argentine rock band Soda Stereo might be reuniting, to commemorate the ten years that have passed since they split. Well, it looks like the rumor is confirmed. Venezuela’s El Universal reports that Argentine news agency Telam says that sources close to the group say they’ll be making an official announcement any day now.

…the famous trio is already rehearsing and the announcement of their return will be made at a press conference in Buenos Aires “between the 10th and the 15th of this month.”

The emblematic band, popular from the mid 80s until their breakup in 1997, “already has 12 concerts booked in Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia, Chile, Perú, Ecuador and Argentina, where they will play at the stadium of the soccer team, River Plate, and “perhaps in another city in the interior” of the country.

hola%20soda.jpgThe Argentinian pioneers of the rock en Spanish movement, Soda Stereo, may be gearing up for a reunion to mark the 10 years since they broke up. According to the NY Daily News, it was award winning Gustavo Cerati who first began speculation about a reunion. Then Héctor (Zeta) Bosio, the bass-player and co-founder of the trio said:

“This year is the 10th anniversary and it’s a key moment,” he says. “At times I thought that our music was superficial, but after 10 years I’ve realized that we introduced rock to a generation.”

And for us Latinos in the U.S. they taught us that rock in our own language could be cool. I hope they pull it together for a reunion, I’d travel anywhere for that.

7th Annual Latin Grammy Awards : Gustavo Cerati

Argentino Gustavo Cerati on winning two Latin Grammy Awards yesterday at Madison Square Garden.

So unfortunately , La Mala was live at the 7th Annual Latin Grammy Awards but you all couldn’t be because of the ahem, less than helpful tech team at MSG couldn’t hook me up online.

Gustavo.jpgDuring the pre-telecast awards, el Rock Latino ruled.
Gustavo Cerati, won two awards, Best Rock Solo Vocal Album and Best Rock Song for Crimen. For those like me, who have been following Cerati from his Soda Stereo days, will be disappointed to hear that Soda Stereo has no plans in the near future to reunite but that it’s never out of the question.

Julieta%20Venegas.jpgThe darling of rock Mexicana Julieta Venegas won Best Alternative Music Album for Limon y Sal.

Best%20tropical.jpgTropical music is such a huge genre, including salsa and merengue, that all its facets couldn’t fit in the telecast alone so some awards were given in the pre-telecast. Included was best Traditional Tropical Album which went to Andy Montanez. He dedicated the award to his wife and Puerto Rico, saying that his win was a dream come true.

summerstage_2.jpgWe may not have the greatest (read cleanest)beaches pero the big mango has plenty to get excited about during the summer especially when it comes to FREE musical offerings. One of my personal favorites is Central Park’s SummerStage that always offers up some hot Latino acts for all musical tastes. This year the lineup includes Ska Cubano, Seu Jorge, Jose Gonzalez, Alex Cuba Band, a noche flamenca, From Mambo to Hip Hop, and the 4th Brazilian Film Festival of New York: This Is Bossa Nova, Lenine. I will personally be hitting most of these shows (with my camera) but I think I’m most excited about the hip-hop rock en espanish mash up offered on August 5 with Puerto Rico’s Calle 13 and Argentino Gustavo Cerati (just writing about it is getting me all hyped).

Check out the complete SummerStage lineup at the official website
