OFFICIAL STATEMENT REGARDING LOS FABULOSOS CADILLACS CENTRAL PARK SUMMERSTATE CANCELLATION

Unfortunately, Los Fabulosos Cadillacs have had to cancel their Central Park SummerStage performance, originally scheduled for Saturday, July 11th as part of the 10th Annual LAMC. The Central Park show was initially part of a larger tour but with the swine flu outbreak, many of these shows were subsequently rescheduled. As the Vive Latino Festival in Mexico City was postponed to the last week of June, a string of other shows were moved around that anchor date as well. As a result, this one New York show was no longer part of a bigger tour. We tried and tried, but at the end of the day, it was just not financially possible to fly to New York City for one show. The band is just as, if not more, bummed than anyone who wanted to be there. The Hammerstein show in New York this past April was a wonderful experience and we thank all of those who sold it out. Los Fabulosos will be coming back to New York in September as part of the next leg of their U.S. tour and do hope to see you.

Amigos Invisibles brought their Venezuelan Gozadera to 9:30 Club

One of the best known latin party bands has to be Amigos Invisibles (Venezuela/NYC). These guys attract a party wherever they are and routinely sell out the Black Cat and 9:30 club performing in DC at least twice a year. Judging from Saturday's latest concert it's not hard to see why. The show started off with Natalia Clavier (local alternative artist) followed by Batala (an all-female percussion band playing Afro-Brazilian/samba-reggae rhythms), followed by DJ Afro (Jose Luis Pardo Amigos Invisibles' own guitarist who plays music that will definitely get you into the Amigos Invisibles "Gozadera" mood!).

Amigos Invisibles' agenda for this show was to get the party going and never stop. They introduced material from their new album "COMERCIAL". Normally when a band puts out a new album the first few performances of the album draw blank stares from the fans that aren't familiar with the new songs. This was not the case at the 9:30 club show, people didn't break a step dancing from song to song, new or old. The drinks were flowing, the dance floor was packed, and the band was dead-on. Did everyone hear their rendition of the Lambada? I thought it sounded great! From start to finish the Amigos Invisibles know how to make an ordinary Saturday night into a latin feast.

Check out the fun by visiting the KestaDC Gallery Amigos Invisibles @ 9:30 club album: http://www.kestadc.com/gallery/album432

If you missed this concert and need to get your Amigos Invisibles fix, you have another chance this summer! They will be performing at the LAMC Celebrate Brooklyn concert in Prospect Park on Friday, July 10th along with Aterciopelados. Yes it's free!

FABULOSOS CADILLACS CANCELA SHOW DE CENTRAL PARK SUMMERSTAGE

FABULOSOS CADILLACS CANCELS NYC SUMMERSTAGE SHOW

The show is now scheduled to proceed with Calle 13 and Bebe on July 11, 2009 and is free.

=============================

Si chikos, escucharon correctamente... fuentes de confianza nos han comentado que los Fabulosos Cadillacs cancelaron su show planeado para Nueva York, Central Park Summerstage el proximo 11 de julio, 2009. El show (cual es gratis) ha sido reemplazado por:

Calle 13

y la diva del rap española BEBE

Para los que se perdieron el show de Fabulosos Cadillacs el pasado 5 de abril en el Hammerstein Ballroom (aki esta el link para el blog por si lo quieren repasar http://kestadc.blogspot.com/2009/04/hammerstein-mehanata-and-greyhound-my.html) lo sentimos mucho pero acaban de fusilar la idea de que los puedan ver en Central Park y de gratis! (Los tickets del show en Hammerstein Ballroom estaban a $100+ revendidos)

No se sabe exactamente porque ocurrio la cancelacion pero se comenta que tiene que ver con el festival VIVE LATINO en Mexico, DF (lee el blog aki: http://kestadc.blogspot.com/2009/05/vive-latino-2009-modifica-sus-fechas.html) que fue forzado a modificar sus fechas por causa de la influenza porcina el pasado mes de mayo... entonces como Fabulosos Cadillacs esta fechado para ese show tuvieron que modificar sus fechas para el tour de verano... resultado... cancelacion del show en Summerstage.... waaahhhh!!!

Y todo esto cuando ya pensabamos que nos habiamos salvado de la influenza porcina!Lamentable pero cierto...

CAFÉ TACVBA CUMPLE 20 AÑOS!

Café Tacvba, la banda mexicana de rock más importante cumple 20 años de trayectoria este año y planea celebrarlo en grande!

Lo que comenzó en un garage de una casa de Satélite, en donde 4 amigos que se habían conocido por la escuela llamados Rubén, Quique, Joselo y Meme, hacian sus primeras tocadas para presentar el grupo y pasar un buena noche de sábado bailando. Era sólo un buen comienzo de lo que hoy es una mítica historia de rock & roll.

Eran finales de los ochenta y Café Tacvba era un grupo que alternaba con grupos de rock y tocaba en bares dedicados al rock pero que no seguía los mismos lineamientos ni las mismas estructuras.

Después del garage tocaron por primera vez en el escenario del legendario Hijo del Cuervo en junio de 1989; a partir de este momento comenzaron las tocadas por el circuito de antros que existían entonces: El 9, El Tutti Frutti, Rockotitlán y El LUCC.

Y hoy, 20 años después son la banda mexicana de rock más importante en el mundo.
Con motivo de esta gran celebración Café Tacvba tiene preparadas muchas sorpresas para sus fans este año.

Tras haber estado en el Tour SINO los meses anteriores, se tomarán un breve respiro para preparar lo que será la celebración de su 20 aniversario, el Tour “20 años, 20 ciudades”.

Tour “20 años, 20 ciudades”
21 de mayo – San Salvador, Salvador

23 de mayo – Caracas, Venezuela

27 de mayo – Bogotá, Colombia

29 de mayo – Quito, Ecuador

30 de mayo – Lima, Perú

3 de junio – La Paz, Bolivia

5 de junio - Santiago, Chile

6 de junio - Buenos Aires, Argentina

9 de junio – La Habana, Cuba

11 de junio – San Juan, Puerto Rico

13 de junio – DF, México

16 de junio – León, México

17 de junio – Guadalajara, México

19 de junio – Monterrey, México

21 de junio – Tijuana, México

24 de junio – Los Ángeles, Estados Unidos

26 de junio – Chicago, Estados Unidos

28 de junio – Nueva York, Estados Unidos

13 de julio – Londres, Inglaterra

25 de julio – Barcelona, España

Por otro lado, la banda planea celebrara a lo grande;
Café Tacvba cumple 20 años de trayectoria este año, y la Revolución Cubana celebra su aniversario 50, ambos eventos se estarán celebrando al mismo tiempo.

La banda publicará 2 libros:
Trabajado por Rubén (Vocalista) y un viejo colaborador de la banda, Román Martínez, este libro se basará en la historia gráfica de la banda. Un libro biográfico a través de conversaciones con el reconocido escritor Enrique Blanc.

Una película documental de larga duración del Tour SINO que abarcará Japón, Sudamérica, Estados Unidos y España. Y nos mostrará momentos históricos de la banda durante esta gira.
Durante estos 20 años Café Tacvba ha recibido mucho cariño y lealtad de sus fans, hoy es tiempo de regresarles todo con mucho amor.

Si viven cerca de cualquiera de estas ciudades no se pueden perder este show historico!

Amigos Invisibles brings you their live "Commercial"

Los Amigos Invisibles spent two years working on ‘Commercial’ during breaks in their heavy tour schedule. “The title of the album came out of our desire to make a more accessible record for even bigger crowds,” Pardo explains. “At first, we were hesitant to use the word but eventually we decided to come straight and use it as a concept. In a world where almost no one listens to an entire album and everyone has their thumb ready to press ‘next’ in their iPods, we just wanted to be more focused without taking out what we love about playing.”

Los Amigos Invisibles moved to New York City from their hometown of Caracas in 2001 and entrenched itself in the local scene. “From a musician’s perspective, being in New York exposes you to every kind of music that you can think of,” Pardo says. “It has been a great place to get inspired and to get our shows tighter. On the other hand, being away from Venezuela makes you realize what you had sometimes taken for granted."


With their electrifying live show, the group began building a considerable fan-base across the U.S. Collaborating with artists from Louie Vega (Masters At Work) to Dimitri From Paris, Los Amigos were able to establish themselves in the dance music scene and expand their sound. While raking in Grammy nominations year after year and performing on programs like the Jimmy Kimmel Show, the group continued to establish themselves.“Being a touring band is a great way to test songs and to try out new ideas,” Pardo says. “We now write most of our music with the purpose of fitting them into our live sets. Playing so much live makes you really aware of what kind of stuff gets people this way or that way. Aside from testing songs, we can't hold new tracks for that long. As soon as we think a song is ready to be played, we let loose. It's like having a new weapon, a funky weapon.”

“Commercial” features a variety of special guests from Jorge Gonzalez (of Chilean rock legends Los Prisioneros) and Mexican songstress Natalia Lafourcade to Senor Coconut vocalist Argenis Brito and Los Tetas’ C-funk. Los Amigos also enlisted production work from friends like Dimitri From Paris and Cachorro López (Belanova, Miranda).

Upcoming Shows (Full Tour TBA):

June 20 – 9:30 Club (Washington, DC)

July 7 - World Cafe Live (Philadelphia)

July 10 – LAMC/Celebrate Brooklyn @ Prospect Park (Brooklyn, NY)

August 5 - HOB Anaheim

August 6 - HOB San Diego

October 2 – Austin City Limits Festival (Austin, TX)
