CONEXIÓN SF

The reason why I call María José's album the "CD Mexico was not ready for" is because Mexico is not ready for Spanish hip hop. Even reggaeton caught on late. Maria Jose aka La Josa's CD is really good and the best part about her first album is that she doesn't sound like anyone else. Instead of releasing a CD with a bunch of well sung ballads and slow songs (which she can do VERY WELL), something that Yuridia has already proved success in, she released a CD with a mix of pop, R & B, rock, and hip-hop. Take it as if you are listening to Fergie en español. It is amazing that her producer, Aureo Baqueiro (who began in the 80's writing songs for Timbiriche, and has produced for Ha-Ash, Lu, Alejandro Fernandez and Sin Bandera) can write and make music almost as good as or even better than the popular songs heard here in the U.S. However, it is a shame that U.S. Spanglish stations such as LA KALLE ignored her first single, "¿Quién eres tú?" being that

Timbiriche's "Corro, vuelo, me acelero" is the song that reminds many people of their adolescence. At least for Timbiriche, this song marked a milestone in their career because the little girls were now growing and the song is proof of what Paulina, Sasha, Mariana and Alix were feeling at the time. Here are three different versions of "Corro, vuelo, me acelero" enjoy! "Corro, vuelo, me acelero" es la canción con la que muchos recuerdan su adolescencia. De menos para Timbiriche, esta canción marco una pauta en su carrera porque Paulina, Sasha, Mariana y Alix estaban creciendo y describe lo que sentían las chicas en esa etapa de su vida. Aquí les van tres diferentes versiones de una de las canciones más famosas de La Banda Timbiriche: The video to the original 1985 version El video de la version original de 1985 From La Movida with Veronica Castro in 1991 sung by Paulina Rubio, Edith Marquez, Bibi Gaytan & Silvia Campos En La Movida con Veronica Cas

Melodi Makers is a show where various artists of different genres are put together and in ONE hour they have to write the words of a song and create its music. A fiveteen minute spot was shown on Yuri's show, "Noche De Estrellas" and the whole process between the artists was shown on Telehit. In the following video, Maria Jose from Kabah, Rodrigo Davila from Motel, Mario Sandoval from Lu, Claudio Yarto from Calo, Beto from Nikki Clan, Rafa from Elefante, Toño from QBO and Rodrigo on the drums come together and make this excellent song, "Decir Adios". I hope Telehit or Televisa release an album with these songs, because this one sounds EXCELLENT! Enjoy! Melodi Makers es un programa donde various artistas de diferentes generos tienen que escribir la musica y la letra de una cancion en UNA hora. En el programa de Yuri, "Noche de Estrellas" pasaban un resumen de lo que fue la dinamica entre los artistas y presentaban la cancion en vivo. En el siguente vide

Next week I will be reviewing a CD that I have anticipating for a long time, possibly since July. It's going to be Paty Cantu's debut album "Me quedo sola". Para el CD de la próxima semana voy a hablar sobre un disco que he estado anticipando desde julio: Paty Cantu y su disco como solista: "Me quedo sola". If you have no clue where this chick came from, she is from Lu, the duo that sang that song on Rebelde "Por besarte". Here in the U.S. they actually cut out the whole episode where RBD goes to Guadalajara to a concert event and they bump into Lu and (back when they were together) The Kumbia Kings. She has also written and translated songs for Alejandra Guzmán ("Marta"), Nikki Clan (Their big hit, "No me digas que no" as well as "Grita y llora") and Jeans ("Tu falso amor", "Hello"). Si aun no conocen a esta talentosísima tapatía es nada mas y nada menos que la otra mitad del dueto Lu, interpretes

As La Quinta Estacion prepares for the release of their next album, "Sin Frenos", I just realized that they have become a duet! Not a lot of people may remember but their first hit was way back in 2002 when their song, "Donde iran" was the opening theme to "Clase 406" yes, the novela with Anahi, Dulce Maria, Cristian Chavez and Poncho Herrera of RBD. Back then there were four members and when they hit it big in 2004 with "El sol no regresa" they became a trio. It just seems weird to think of them as two and not as three. I saw them in concert back in April of last year and they are great. Natalia can SING and is very sexy, I'll post pictures soon. The group will also include a duet with Marc Anthony in their new album. In the meantime enjoy the opening to "Clase 406" and check out this article from El Informador: Se aproxima el lanzamiento del cuarto album de estudio de La Quinta Estacion y no me habia dado cuenta que se han convert

As you can tell from the last post, Fey’s new single, “Lentamente” is already number one on oye 89.7 fm. I recall that Fey was very disappointed with her record label EMI Televisa Music because they did not give enough promotion to her 2006 album, “Faltan Lunas”. Now she is back and I honestly believe she’s kept it real with her public since that ‘99 scandal when we found out she really wasn’t as young as we thought she was. I wish her the best, and as soon as I get my hands on her new album, I’ll let you know what I thought. In the meantime, enjoy Lentamente. En el blog pasado (y a mi sorpresa), oye 89.7 fm ya tenia la nueva canción de Fey, “Lentamente” como la canción numero uno en su lista de popularidad. Recuerdo que Fey estaba muy descontenta con su casa disquera, Emi Televisa Music porque no le dieron la promoción justa a su disco pasado, “Faltan Lunas”, del 2006. Ahora esta de regreso y honestamente creo que desde que nos enteramos que realmente no tenia la edad que pensábamos

Four of Mexico's greatest artists will come to the bay area together in concert in less than a month. To prepare, let's remember some of their best live moments: Cuatro de los mejores artistas (cada uno con su estilo) que se han dado en México vendrán al área de la bahía juntos en concierto en menos de un mes. Para prepararnos, vamos a recordar sus mejores momentos en vivo: First, here is Aleks Syntek making a special appearance with Timbiriche, performing with them their BIGGEST HIT, "Con todos menos conmigo" Primero el Sr. Syntek en una actuación especial junto a Timbiriche cantando uno de sus GRANDES ÉXITOS, "Con todos menos conmigo": Surprise! Someone else joins them near the end! Y sorpresa! Se les une alguien mas... Here is Moenia in their HitsLive Tour in Mexico's Auditorio Nacional with their song, “Estabas ahi” Aquí esta Moenia con su gira HitsLive en el Auditorio Nacional de México con "Estabas ahí" Here is live performance with t

Everyone knows who Dulce Maria and Anahi are now but does anyone remember what they did before Rebelde and RBD? Hoy en día todos saben quien son Dulce María y Anahí. Antes de aceptar sus protagónicos en Rebelde y convertirse en superestrellas internacionales gracias a RBD, estas dos chicas hicieron sus intentos en el ámbito musical. Anahi has a huge advantage over the other five members of RBD because she’s been in the show business since she was a baby. She recorded three albums before hopping aboard the third season of Clase 406 as Jessica. Her last album, “Baby Blue”, was released in 2000 around the time she was filming Primer Amor: A Mil Por Hora. Her last solo album proved that she too, has the chance of becoming a pop princess. Here’s the video to her second single, “Superenamorandome”: De los seis integrantes de RBD, Anahí lleva la ventaja sobre los demás. Desde chiquita ha estado actuando y llego a grabar tres discos antes de entrar a la tercera temporada de Clase 406 como

They say I started singing before I began walking. Most likely I sang my first song way before I even spoke a word. Not that I wanted to become a singer, but there was something about those 80’s songs that just got stuck in my head. My aunts thought listening to 80’s Spanish pop songs was what I could keep busy with and their plan worked perfectly. I have pretty much listened to or kept up with Latin artists ranging from 1985 to the present, and there’s music out there that I don’t know about. That is why I created this blog to promote to you all sorts of things: artists you’ve heard of, songs you didn’t know were singles, songs that bring back nostalgia and most importantly new talents from Latin America that people should care about. Also don’t forget to tune into our show Conexion SF on KSFS Radio at http://ksfs.sfsu.edu/ hosted by Nelly Maldonado and yours truly on Sundays from 11am-12pm PST. We will try our best to connect our show with this blog and promote all sorts of
