That MULA jam is really really great...and after investigating in them a little more, most of their stuff is.

Do Femina from Argentina or Ile (sister from Calle 13) fit in this thread?
― curmudgeon, Monday, 29 August 2016 17:50 (seven years ago) link
I don't really think iLe does aside from the final track from the album, which I just posted.

I don't know anything about this, but it seems like it goes here.

I just heard Bomba Estéreo for the first time this evening and I'm really surprised that there is only one mention of them on this thread. They are pretty incredible.

Bomba Estereo have been mentioned on the various yearly Afro-Latin threads.
― curmudgeon, Wednesday, 31 August 2016 03:35 (seven years ago) link
La Lechera has talked them up a lot, maybe mostly not even on the Afro-Latin threads.

(Not feeling well and don't have the mental focus for much of anything, which is why I'm joining you in these go nowhere comments.)
― _Rudipherous_, Wednesday, 31 August 2016 04:24 (seven years ago) link
Yeah, I had a feeling I probably missed it somewhere. I don't think I've ever checked out those Afro-Latin threads before. Either way, it seems like it would fit in here.

I'm not crazy about Bomba Estereo vocals, but many of the rest of you seem to be fine with them
― curmudgeon, Wednesday, 31 August 2016 15:58 (seven years ago) link
I'm not a fan of the band in general. I don't dislike them, but they never really made much of an impression on me.

Another 2016 single that qualifies.

Listening to Natalia Lafourcade's Hasta la Raiz for the first time in a while. Man, this album is so good.
― jaymc, Tuesday, 4 April 2023 18:55 (one year ago) link
jaymc- that's a contemporary standard imo.
this song has come to mean so much to my life. idk man, can i keep going like this? not seen much chat about this band here and they're full of these sorts of delights. didn't know where else to post-

Some latinamerican hipster shit I’ve been enjoying in the past couple years:
(Mexico) Tonga Conga - Mira Bienhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCal34JvxfE
(Colombia) Cero39 - Hipnoticohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBAzpGPcRGk
(Chile) Chicarica - la noche de ayerhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xe71GxCSmTE
(Chile) Playa Gótica - Fuegohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aC-AjwVetU
(Mexico) Clubz - nagano feat. ela minushttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-uiiycDKaA
(Mexico) Disco Bahia - Necedadhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCIrRX70EVo
This one is from the 80’s but got revived earlier this year by hipsters. Lucia Mendez is a mexican celebrity mainly known as an actress for soap operas, and a popular ranchera and ballad singer… but she also made a post-punk song in 1983… years before several popular rock bands from Latin America were influenced by the genre which is a bit funny:
