An Apology Regarding the Amigos Invisibles Show

11:11 am By Jennifer Woodard Maderazo · Events| Music| New York City| VivirLatino · Comments Off

14 Jul 2008

I wish I were using this space to write about the wonderful time I had at the Amigos Invisibles show at S.O.B’s last Friday. Instead I’m using this space to apologize for putting up information that was a misunderstanding at best, false advertising a la bait and switch at best.

On the flyer for the Amigos Invisibles show, which I was provided from people working at S.O.B’s for me to specifically promote on VivirLatino, it clearly states that LAMC badge holders would be granted free admission. I would like to apologize to LAMC badge holders who found that this was not honored when they went to S.O.B’s on Friday night. I and about 30 other people were not granted admission that I personally witnessed.

Despite my attempts at getting an official explanation, it remains unclear what happened. I was told by one person who works at S.O.B’s that the free admission for LAMC badge holders was limited to the first 50 or so people. If this is the case, it certainly was never relayed to me, and it isn’t on the flyer.

My feeling is that it was a bait and switch job with S.O.B’s management knowing that people would be coming out to see the Amigos Invisibles show anyway, so they were going to ignore what they had already put out there.

I still would appreciate an official response because it really is shame that a place like S.O.B’s, that has so much history and a certain reputation for playing global music and supporting global music, would play people who themselves are musicians or are in the industry.

LAMC Tonight : DJ Showcase Latinoamericano at S.O.B’s

10:08 am By Jennifer Woodard Maderazo · Events| Music| New York City · Comments Off

10 Jul 2008

It’s not just all live bands at the Latin Alternative Music Conference, it’s also DJ’s, spinning Latin American beats in all their diversity. Check some of them out tonight.

DJs like Oro 11 and Disco Shawn, who recently founded their own Bay Area label, Bersa Discos, mix traditional latin rhythms like cumbia with bass-heavy beats for a completely original and unique sound that has entranced Latino youth on dancefloors across Latin America on the United States . Toy Selectah, the mix-master wizard for Monterrey ’s “Hip Hop en Español” pioneers Control Machete, created a whole new hybrid by mixing Mexican soundscapes with contemporary urban beats. Lately he has been galloping the rural rhythms of Colombian-Mexican Cumbias, hip hop, breakbetas and Reggae creating his own trademark sound, live Soundsystem and Band called Sonidero Nacional. Zizek, which originated as a bi-weekly party in Buenos Aires and toured the U.S. this Spring, including a packed show at SXSW, keeps crowds on their toes with emerging Hip Hop, Dancehall, and Reggaetón records, mixing them with electronic sounds like Grime, Crunk, Bastard Pop and Mashups.

LAMC Kicks Off Con Verano Alternativo at SOB’s Last Night

9 Jul 2008

Last night, as part of the Latin Alternative Music Conference excitement, BMI showcased a diverse range of Latino musical artists at Verano Alternativo, held inside S.O.B’s.

I arrived a little late, so apologies to LapDance, a new-wave indie electronic Rican band, and the Dominican, Marel.

The first band I did get to see was Origen, a rock band that leans towards the fun and jaunty pop sound. Fronted by the energetic and charismatic mujer Mirs, this is the type of music that I could totally see my older daughter getting excited about, as sort of a gateway drug into rock in español.

Happy Fourth of July : To Read and to Do in NYC

3 Jul 2008

La Mala is gonna take advantage of the long weekend and unplug a bit by campando. But for those of you staying in New York City or staying inside, here are a few things to keep you busy in my absence:

Since for many the fourth of July holiday is about U.S. patriotism, and to many that means military force, Colorlines has really interesting article on women of color in the military

In more of a party mood? If you’re in the Queens, NYC area head over to the Water Taxi Beach

The Latin Alternative Music Conference doesn’t kick off till next week, but on Domingo, SOB’s is playing host to pre-kickoff fiesta.

Have a fabulous long weekend everyone!!

It’s Never too Early to Plan for the Weekend : 3 De La Habana First-ever Live NYC Performance at S.O.B’s

10:46 am By Jennifer Woodard Maderazo · Music| New York City · Comments Off

31 Mar 2008

What better way to start your Monday than by thinking about Friday. This coming Friday, April 4th, S.O.B.’s presents 3 de la Habana in their first-ever live NYC performance. Having just received political asylum in the U.S. in late 2007, this is the innovative trio’s first ever appearance in NYC and only their third U.S. performance, although the band has made numerous acclaimed appearances throughout Europe, Mexico and Latin America. 3 de la Habana play a mix of their own compositions and outside material in an eclectic fusion of traditional and edgy rhythms that range from traditional timba to alternative to reggaeton. Check them out for yourself after the jump.

Santo Who Day? Zizek: Urban Beats Club Tonight at S.O.B’s

7:57 am By Jennifer Woodard Maderazo · Argentina| Music| New York City · Comments Off

17 Mar 2008

Looking for a way to avoid the drunken throngs and puddles of vomit that seem to overrun NYC on St. Patrick’s Day (don’t act like you don’t know what I’m talking about). Take refuge tonight inside S.O.B’s (204 Varick Street, NYC), where the weekly Buenos Aires, Argentina party Zizek: Urban Beats Club takes over.

Zizek is about emerging Hip Hop, Dancehall, Cumbia, and Reggaetón sounds and their respective variations: Grime, Crunk, Bastard Pop and Mashups. The idea is to give these styles, ideas and rhythms an Argentine touch, with the aim of putting Buenos Aires on the map of the global music scene. The star of Zizek has been Cumbia, a Latin American sound born from the fusion of old and new worlds in Colombia that has been long looked down on as dance music for the lower classes in Argentina. Its distinctly syncretic roots promote robust adaptability and cumbia is being transformed by avant-garde musicians and producers from the USA all the way down to Argentina.

Also at the party will be the NYC alternative Latino party maestros, Nacotheque, with DJs, Amylu and Marcelo Cunning.

Just added : This party is the official after party for the Mala Rodriguez show, also tonight at Irving Plaze. S.O.B’s is offering free admission to anybody who comes with their La Mala ticket stub! That means two shows for one people!

Seriously someone come and watch my kids.
$10 Advance/$12 Day of; Available on Ticketmaster and the S.O.B.’s Box Office, 212-243-4940. Doors open 8pm.

Celebrate Dominican Independence Day : SOB’s Style

20 Feb 2008

Just because I’m Puerto Rican doesn’t mean I don’t like some Dominican flavor (forget the rumors of Ricans vs. Dominicans). I know from experience that one of the hottest Dominican Independence Day celebrations outside D.R. is in NYC, more specifically in S.O.B’s. This February 27 promises to be no different with a concert featuring merenguero Shino Aguakate, Frandy Sax and DJ Lobo. And where there’s good Dominican music there’s got to be good Dominican food. S.O.B’s is serving a full Dominican menu, completito con kipes, chicharron de pollo y pasteles de platanos (damn save me a plate!)This is the only celebration in NYC on February 27th, the actual date of Dominican Independence.

Ticket Info: First 100 Ladies free, $10 Ladies/ $12 Gentlemen; Available on Ticketmaster and the S.O.B.’s Box Office, 212-243-4940. Doors open 7pm.

Special Thanks to Alex Damashek at S.O.B’s for providing pics and info. Now someone quick : offer to watch my kids so I can go!

31 Jan 2008

After taking two years off, the Cubana songstress, Albita, performs tonight at the legendary SOB’s in NYC. Albita has recorded eight albums, seven have received Grammy nominations. Finally after she created her own record label “Angel Dawn Records” she won two Grammys for “Best Contemporary Tropical Record of the Year”.

If you’re in the NYC area, she is really not to be missed. I’ve seen her perform and she really shines in these smaller venues!
