I gotta admit, my obsession with Latin rock music sometimes gets the best of me. That is, if I feel there aren’t enough Latinos representing the stages, like in mega festivals in the USA per say (as yesterday’s post may have reflected). Yet I do understand that this is a “music industry” situation and not an artist issue. It obviously makes total sense for someone to get all pissy, especially when in about a decade from now, Latinos will overcome one-fourth of the entire USA population, aguaaas. These are some serious numbers, folks. So love us, hug us, and get used to us spreading our Latin love and music to your ears, and of course, your corazones.
And to my main point: here’s another festivity to get excited about, and this one’s in Bogotá, Colombia’s Rock al Parque (July 1st-4th)! Feast your eyes on the wicked lineup from international rock bands, punk bands, reggae bands, Bogotá tribute metal bands, Bogotá bands, Colombian bands. Bands, bands, and abundance of Latin bands! Yeayy! Including Bay Area’s kickass punk kings Dead Kennedys, Jamaica’s reggae legends Black Uhuru, Portugal’s progressive kudoro masters Buraka Som Sistema, South Africa’s experimental rockers BLK JKS, and lots more.
