Musica Fresca Launches

Haven't been posting in a while due to this project. I was brought on to the Musica Fresca tour to work with Yahoo!Telemundo and Kurfirst/Blackwell Entertainment via GlobeSonic Entertainment as Content Creator for the website. Below is info on this tour; when it kicks in I'll be posting regular redirects here to keep this blog updated to that one...here's the info on this amazing tour....

MUSICA FRESCA celebrates the innovative spirit of modern Latin fusion with an amazing array of musical acts. Banda hip-hoppers AKWID, reggaeton sensation VOLTIO and Latin funk collective YERBA BUENA team up on this forward-thinking tour. A production of famed music figures Gary Kurfirst and Chris Blackwell, with acclaimed producer Andres Levin as Music Director And Yahoo! Telemundo as a presenting sponsor, MUSICA FRESCA is destined to become the defining name in modern Latin music.

As America celebrates Latin culture with Hispanic Heritage Month this September, the MUSICA FRESCA (Fresh Music) tour will showcase bands on the leading edge of modern Latin fusion. The co-headliners, Mexican-American urban-regional pioneers AKWID, electrifying reggaeton lyricist VOLTIO and Levin’s celebrated Latin-funk collective YERBA BUENA, represent a dizzying spectrum of progressive sounds. These three critically praised headliners showcase the unique sonic culture occurring across Latin music in Los Angeles, New York and Puerto Rico. By combining their applied skills MUSICA FRESCA promises to be the most inventive, talked about tour of the year.

Audiences will experience distinctive combinations where hip-hop meets the brass sound of traditional Mexican banda and norteno, the MC skills of rap collide with tropical Latin tempos and dancehall and bilingual, propulsive dance rhythms are created from a Afro-Cuban-Gypsy fusion. In addition, MUSICA FRESCA will introduce U.S. audiences to RADIO MUNDIAL, a fast-rising New York-based Latin rock band that has already written for/performed with Carlos Santana.

Besides presenting the hippest Latin fusions around, MUSICA FRESCA is designed to showcase the hottest up-and-coming acts. The best of local music will be presented in every city as Yahoo! Telemundo presents a Battle of the Bands showcase prior to each performance. Never before has regional Latin-focused bands been given the opportunity to share the stage with such a unique roster of artists. The battle adds a whole new dimension to Latin music in America today. With stops in numerous major cities, such as New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Washington, and across Texas, the future of Latin music has arrived.
