Caught a great doc on La Lupe (the Queen of Latin Soul) on PBS. Often overshadowed by Celia Cruz, La Lupe (the Queen of Latin Soul) is a legend of Latin music in her own right. Her too sexy performance style, love hate with Tito, dance with Santeria and unfortunate fall from the music industry make for a compelling story. I'm being careful to always use her bi-line because she apparently wouldn't appear on stage without it. We heard the audio from the video above in the show this past week. Check out the rest of the playlist here.
Music from Gaslamp Killer also in this past week's playlist. His mixes, original beats, and general blurred sonic mashery are starting to make the rounds much thanks to his employer. He also has his own site with downloads and infos over there. I'm liking what I hear so far.
Also an excerpt from MPC's Baile Dancehall Mixtape. Can't remember who pointed me to this one (think is was Mudd Up) but who knew the slower side of Baile could get along so well with dancehall/dubstep? More from MPC here.
That's all for program notes. Thanks to those of you who came out Beat Research last Monday (be sure to go see DJ RNDM playing this coming week). And thanks for the great feedback on the mix. I know it's short but there's more to come I promise. If you still haven't gotten around to it, download it post haste! It's also the front page over at Ghostdad Central (with fancy flash player and everything oooooo). Another radio show happens tomorrow night. Join me then wont you?
