On February 2 we are releasing two great albums by Banda de Turistas (a group of really cool young guys from Argentina) and Misterio (Señor Flavio from Los Fabulosos Cadillacs + his 10-year-old son on drums!). Both are available for download on iTunes NOW, but if you want to get the CD copy of Banda de Turistas or the vinyl copy (no CDs being released) of Misterio you’ll have to wait until next week.
However, if you live in Chicago, San Francisco and Austin you get an exclusive chance to listen to the albums this week and next week! Check the flyers below for listening party details.
Stay tuned next week for information about a listening parties in Philly and NYC.
Los Fabulosos Cadillacs bassist - Sr. Flavio teams up with 10 year old son to form MISTERIO. Their song “La Momia Negra” is off their upcoming US debut album called 10 Year Old Zombie. I love this video. It’s cute, funky, and fun - bringing the old style back into play.
And the day is here for all us music fanatics! Coachella has posted up their line-up for the 3 day festival. Here at the Nacional offices we celebrated a little extra since Aterciopelados is on the roster for day two! Wooooo! Coachella will be held April 16 -18 this year in Indio California. Come out and support the arts and awesome music!
Hola Nacionalistas -
We thought it would be fun to share the music that our office and many of our artists have been listening to throughout this year. It’s clear with our lists that we all have so many different musical influences. Hopefully you are able to find a new favorite or three in here…
Now tell us what were YOU listening to?!
