And they're a huge deal in Latino music. They're also a lot of fun in concert. Never seen so many chicks jump up on stage before to hug a female singer, but Andrea has something special. "Gozo Poderoso" is my favorite album of theirs and made my Top 10 that year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486244714643027014.post-47343396931953324062007-08-11T15:02:00.000-07:002007-08-11T15:02:00.000-07:00You did NOT say "kwaito!"

Dogg Murras is one of the big names in the genre, but I've got a few songs from a Frederic Galliano compilation .<BR/><BR/>Sorry, I'm not familiar with "Kingpin," but now that you've refered to the music I'll keep my eyes and ears open.bklyn6https://www.blogger.com/profile/03878143211808703104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486244714643027014.post-39006494983505160572007-08-11T12:18:00.000-07:002007-08-11T12:18:00.000-07:00I'll check out calabashmusic.com.

Haven't heard of it, so thanks for pointing, Jena6.<BR/><BR/>Yeah, the two biggest, best revelations for me in this New Millenium, musically speaking, were Rock en Español and kwaito (South African house music). There's a wonderful out there, you're right. And you gotta look totally beyond the mainstream U.S. TV-radio infosphere to know about it.<BR/><BR/>As for finding music for TV shows, that job usually goes to a "music supervisor." But on "Kingpin," since I was the boss, I kept that job for myself. Because I love music and I know <EM>exactly</EM> what I want in a given scene.<BR/><BR/>Early on the "Kingpin" development process, I had the idea that it could be like "Miami Vice" in its cinematic use of music. I am so proud of the music in that show.Undercover Black Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08704721024820668555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486244714643027014.post-90272961435481702332007-08-11T08:16:00.000-07:002007-08-11T08:16:00.000-07:00Cool song and video!

Recently,it occured to me that aside from some Bob Marley and Latin dance music, my music collection didn't contain a whole lot of international flavor.<BR/><BR/>Then I discovered calabashmusic.com! *swoon* (Aterciopelados's music is there too.) So much wonderful music. I sort of wish that I heard more of it on the radio or tv. I also wish more Americans were exposured to lesser known international artists.<BR/><BR/>Is finding music for tv shows part of your job description, UBM? I've fantasized about doing that for movies/tv because I love music. (How's that for kinky?)bklyn6https://www.blogger.com/profile/03878143211808703104noreply@blogger.com
