In an interview, Santos said he was happy and excited for the performances to be at the National Auditorium the next 20, 22 and 26 June, and will be meeting again with the capital’s fans, which always treated him well when he was in his former group.

“Mexico has always been one of the most important places for any artist, with Adventure I did very well, but now as a soloist is to reconnect with the public, I feel blessed and grateful”, said the singer of Puerto Rican descent.

“I want my audience to feel good from beginning to end and that there is no dull moment, I want you to leave satisfied, will be a very broad repertoire interpret over nearly three hours”, he said.

When recounting his musical tour after his foray as a solo artist, Romeo Santos said he never expected to have the success he enjoys today, as I was conscious to go on without his group would be like starting from scratch, a situation that did not happen years away that way.

“I feel blessed and in a dream to be in this stage of my life where everything happened so quickly. Never expect you me, I had prepared me to start from the bottom, I never thought that the recognition would so quickly”, he said.

Therefore, the singer said he was never prepared for the success that you currently have, but trying to assimilate and thank each submission and although not stated nor denied going to have guest artists during his performances, Santos said that his followers will satisfied and happy to see an artist more prepared and complete.

“I’m always looking to provide one hundred percent to each ‘show’ that I offer, I try to connect with the audience, and I like that I can appreciate my fans at my shows I try to give myself entirely”, he concluded.

VOX has produced much of the amplifiers used the legendary British group in their concerts, but wanted to enter the world of guitars with this piece, which sought to “find a unique sound”, said the auction house executive director of EfE, Martin Nolan.

Lennon played this guitar mahogany for the song “Hello, Goodbye” in 1967 and Harrison used it that year for “I Am The Warlus” during the historic tour “Magical Mystery”, when the group was at the peak of his career and was even the subject of a film with the same name.

The instrument was given as a birthday present to a good friend of the band Alexis Mardas, so in the back you can see a plaque with a dedication of Lennon in which he said: “For ‘Magic Alex’. Alexi thanks for being my friend. John”.

The guitar was missing until 2004, when Mardas sold at Christie’s, and could raise a lot more of the range provided by Julien’s, since almost a decade ago that same auction house sold one of George Harrison for $ 560,000, explained Nolan.

The instrument is the “star of the sale” of objects music icons to be held this Saturday and which also may find a custom-designed layer of Elvis Presley for his concert “Aloha From Hawaii”, which has a estimated price of between 120 000 and $ 140 000.

“It was a very important show for Elvis and of course, as always, wanted to impress the public, so I asked him this layer will design I wanted to symbolize the United States, so the back is an eagle with the colors of flag”, said Nolan.

Elvis fell down the first time we tested the garment over 5 kilos, so at the last minute had to ask them to make a new one with the same design but make it less heavy to carry in concert, the first which was broadcast by satellite.

The auction has a total of 438 objects of other music legends like Jimi Hendrix, the Rolling Stones, Michael Jackson, Guns N ‘Roses, David Bowie, Whitney Houston, Madonna, Bette Midler and James Brown.

It’s Amygdala, the second long Moroccan but based in Hamburg DJ Koze, which has turned 180 ° in the proposal presented in his debut. The result could not be better. After leaving Kompakt and currently residing in the Pampa label, you cannot say that change has gone from bad to worse precisely.

Nothing more and nothing less than eight years later, DJ Koze has recurred in long format, having released several EP and collaborated with other producers, going all out to international music map. Moreover, this is not a late return arrives in any way to cover record. Since you’ve been so long without releasing anything big who care wait some more time to polish every detail. And this is how we have this Amygdala, an album full of sonic edges leisurely and unhurried taste.

While Kosi Comes Around had a debut midway between minimal and techno, with a very rich palette of sounds textures, building a schizophrenic album, made ​​between beats predestined to the dance floor, other minimalism and other filled with indelible house, now these features disappear. After last time, has outpaced production anarchy to shore up his music with a more elegant and qualitative proposal, joining a house record that has passages that make your hair stand on end by the sensitivity and talent shown.

Amygdala is one of those albums you listen quietly, to taste the different textures that offers always from the same perspective: A bumpy house without too many sharp bends, but very colorful melodies, close to the last work of Matthew Dear. And it is no coincidence, in fact he and others working with premier producers. Soak the work of these artists has channeled his music until less minimalism dollars and close to techno, with multiple effects that open the way to spring.

After passing through Kompakt and small techno rhythmic contortions, surrounded by the likes of Apparat, Matthew Dear Caribou or shape have made ​​an album very close to the sound of those artists, especially the last two, although it is true that German also fits this mold, as it has changed their sound patterns lately. In any case, disappear to let you step minimalism sound layers brighter and with more typical stylistic devices of the people he has surrounded himself to consummate the Amygdala.

Spring is coming, and with it the good weather and these moods always better, even more are accompanied by tropical network weaving together with DJ Koze Caribou in the cut that starts the album: ‘Track ID Anyone?’ It is an interesting symbiosis between the Canadian Swim and details that the Moroccan walked in his debut. Then continue the hand to gather the felt house by DJ Koze, always implicit in their productions, with that part of Ethereal techno Apparat has been able to practice in various sections of his musical career.

This second LP exploits hear details that always costs if you’re not careful, so it is advisable to listen to the album with headphones and with pinna on alert. In that case, we can see the effects and second lines Matthew Dear brings, after his last approaches to pop in the disc. ‘Magical Boy’ and ‘My Plans’, and especially the second, are pieces of jewelry perfect sound with the pop and house its main carats. And of course, with the powerful voice of Matthew Dear own, that add a touch of class which suffered Kosi Comes Around.

Despite being a more careful and quiet, within this sea paradise there are different patterns that offer slight variations. DJ Koze approaches very soft textures and Ada marked ‘Homesick’ side almost touches the soul with Tocotronic vocalist in ‘Das Wort’ and how not dropped by the minimalism of La Duquesa, where we note that Moroccan not forget your brain electronics side when he alone who is responsible for sculpting his songs.

Probably fruit of all this, and with the intention to reward to the fans that have accompanied in the tour of presentation of Weather Systems, the band of the Cavanagh brothers has determined to publish through Kscope a double vinyl in which they collect the concert that they gave next to the Plovdiv Philharmonic Orchestra in the Roman theatre of Philippopolis of the Bulgarian city.

The double LP called Untouchable and can be booked from now until June 24, the day that will be offered for sale in that format. In addition, during the month of August will be selling traditional editions on CD and DVD. The tracklist is as follows:

Actually we miss the presence of some disk issues as Judgement or Eternity (The Silent Enigma know it’s too much to ask), but it is totally understandable that prefer to give prominence to their last two albums seeing the success they have had. Fortunately I have my DVD of ‘A Moment in Time’ and ‘Were You There?’ to enjoy their old songs live and from the living room of my house. In short, you have what to do with those 22.55 EUR to which you cannot find target.

A Madrid has reached its 66 years exhibiting literally chest and very recent album with The Stooges, “Ready to die” (Fast Possum Records), which speaks of “depression, global insecurity, bad religion, the crisis, sex and money”.

“Money is an evil god”, says James Newell Osterberg Jr, alias Iggy Pop, one of the stalwarts of the punk movement in the 70′s stood up to the excesses of capitalism in the UK, and believes that, compared with their beginning, “the world is colder and more fragile”.

It then goes back to his childhood, in which there was so much it was so pavement or grid. “Nor had global communication, or luxuries calls or opportunities of the new world”, he admits, but now everything depends on something.

“The financial system is like an old pin-ball machine, which is necessary for the money to flow constantly and very quickly and without it, people die”, he laments.

These are not, however, times more bitter than Iggy Pop has proven firsthand. “1973 was a bad year for me”, recalls the days of struggling to bring up his album “Raw Power”, “no rights, no money, and no recognition”.

There were few who then paid attention to that album, the third of his career with The Stooges, and the band broke up a few years later, but with the perspective that gives the time, “Raw Power” has remained as one of the cornerstones on which he built a punk.

There were times that required aggressive lyrics and staging chord. “In some performances may have broken glass, but in a couple, just as raw meat, etc., etc.”, says the musician, who attributes the press and people have made bigger gossip that legend.

“It would be stupid if I go to your house for tea and spit on the carpet, you hit and yell at your wife, but if I act on stage as if to drink tea, that would also make me a stupid, so I always try to act in line with where I am”, says Pop, who for journalists in Madrid reserve his kindest ways.

“Iguana Rock” has not lost the touch yet “punk”. In his interview with Efe the singer barefoot upon arrival of the press conference in which he introduced the new “Lemon Dry” Schweppes.

He admits that for some – “or many” notes-his umpteenth collaboration with brand advertising takes away credibility to your speech, to become part of the system. “But others think that I am more credible now”, he defends.

“Everyone is a target. Thing we are advertising for example, politicians … Some people want your money, become a slave. If you marry, your wife can sue and can even shoot street. In my case, I am a target even higher, because I’m more visible”, he explains.

Anyway, here follows, in active and seemingly unattainable over time thanks to the practice of chi-kung, said. Looks back, his plump wife, the tumult that still causes his path and, with their bright blue eyes, his deep voice and that smile a bit devilish and mischievous, blurts to the terrible 1973: “Revenge!”.

What if she comes back with Chris Brown, that if die young like Amy Winehouse, if shadowy form part of the 27 Club. The truth is that around the artist turns a multimillion dollar business that she holds in her power to stop. Without going any further, this week it was announced how in a few hours had exhausted lipstick named “Riri Woo”, which was put up for sale in online stores.

Tomorrow’s news because finally will release new DVD and 777 Tour documentary, chronicling the tour that took her seven countries in seven days to offer seven concerts in November 2012. On Monday, an edited version of 44 minutes will be broadcast on FOX TV in the United States.

The singer made history in November 2012 when she led a group of 256 journalists and fans, from 82 countries, aboard a Boeing, to be witnesses and protagonists of a dizzying tour of Mexico City (in El Plaza Condesa), Toronto, Stockholm, Paris, Berlin, London and New York.

777 Rihanna Tour includes hits from Unapologetic, “Diamonds” and “Stay” and crowd favorite “Fresh Off the Runway”, “We Found Love”, “S & M”.

“The documentary shows the inside of this ambitious and sometimes turbulent tour, from the sound of champagne on the plane to uncovering the backstage chaos and a look behind the scenes of life on the road with Rihanna”, reports the Universal label Music.

As this happens, the song “Stay”, the Barbadian recorded with Mikky Ekko and according to the humble opinion of this writer is a reflection of the enormous talent that is born this new pop music star, reaches its tenth week the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100.

The issue is part of the album ”Unapologetic”, which since its release in 2012 and has sold two million copies. To give an idea of the power of Rihanna is the first artist in the history of pop music to collect 10 songs number one on the Nielsen BDS radio / Billboard Pop Songs airplay.

When the young artist demos (was 15 in 2003 when she learned of her existence and her talent) came into the hands of the mighty Jay-Z, the producer and Beyoncé’s husband did not hesitate to hire her for her label Def Jam Records.

In 2007, Rihanna became world famous with “Umbrella” and since then her transit through the music industry has been a long-range phenomenon, with over 20 million albums and 60 million singles sold.

The nearly two-hour special shows Romeo performing many of his hits, exclusive interviews, previously unseen footage of Romeo during the days before the concert, in addition to stage performances with guest artists such as P. Diddy, Usher, Wisin & Yandel, among many others.

This concert tour not only celebrating the release of the singer’s solo career was born in the Bronx, but his debut album “Formula Vol 1″. The March 12, 2013, the album Romeo tied the record for Enrique Iglesias for nearly 20 years with the most number one songs one album in Latin Airplay lists of Billboard.

“Formula Vol 1″ also was recognized by Billboard as the No. 1 Latin album sales in 2012.

The special will capture the attention of music lovers (both existing fans and those who soon will be) with songs that defined a generation, taken both the catalog of Adventure and the thriving solo career Romeo Santos, including the song that reached the top of the charts, “Promise” performed on stage next to the icon of pop and R & B Usher.

However, a musical by Stephen Sondheim ready to be adapted to the big screen does not seem such a bad idea, and that is how the study is said to enter into negotiations with the very talented Depp and Meryl Streep to star in Into the Woods.

The musical won several Tony Awards, revolves around a baker and his wife who are bewitched by a powerful witch, and from there are transported to a world of large scale which includes characters from classic fairy tales and Jack and the Beanstalk or Little Red Riding Hood. The story itself is completely original, which comes from other stories are the characters involved in the lives of the baker and his wife. Incredibly, the musical comes to Broadway touring productions and many throughout the world since 1986.

According to a report by Variety, Streep will be playing the wicked witch in the film, while Depp’s role is not safe for the moment, as it might be, or the baker or the narrator of the story. As if that were not enough, Into the Woods will be directed by Rob Marshall, with new compositions by David Krane, and a screenplay by James Lapine, author of the book that gave birth to the music.

This adaptation, however, can be a big disadvantage for those who wanted to see again the duo Marshall / Depp on the big screen with Pirates of the Caribbean, mainly because the director has not announced his return to the franchise and, although know that there would be no Jack Sparrow franchise, there is the possibility that Disney will give permission for your actor to engage in a project over the other. Both Into the Woods as Pirates of the Caribbean 5 would be shooting at the same time, which makes everything more complicated.

Regarding Depp also, this would be the second adaptation of Stephen Sondheim starring after Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, though this film was directed by Tim Burton. Streep is no stranger to musicals and more of a fan of the actress will be excited to see the Academy Award winning singing again on the big screen.

Into the Woods begin shooting in early 2014 for a release sometime in 2015. We will notify you when there is more news on the project.

Did they know about Into the Woods? Do you think Johnny Depp and Meryl Streep are correct for the musical?

Cafe Tacvba has very clear where it wants to take its sound. The band knows that anything is possible when you are sheltered in the genre who love: the rock.

The 2013 mark for grouping a fertile creative period. First, with the promotion of the object formerly disk plate which reaped good reviews among specialists and managed public favor. Second, with the concert promotion offer on June 2 at the Auditorio Telmex alongside other Mexican music legends: Los Tigres del Norte.

What does the mix sound weird? Cafe Tacuba is not afraid to experiment on stage. The band, composed of Ruben Albarran, Quique, Meme and Joselo, has already shown earlier that know to take advantage of the sounds that apparently not part of the rock. They are appropriated and transmuted to give a new face.

Joselo, prodigal guitarist Satellite Town, explains that the concert next to the northern side emerges as an invitation that originally came from the International Music Fair (FIM), which this year canceled its activities to resume them until 2014.

And although the idea of the show was not born from any of the two teams, the project was on the table, and it sounded so tempting, it was impossible to say no.

The band formed in Tampa (Florida) and led by Jon Schaffer introduced there in the middle of his world tour, their last studio album, Dystopia, the first of a successful career with their new singer Stu Block.

This tour served to rubber stamp what we already said when we talked about Dystopia: the former Into Eternity was the singer needing Iced Earth. Block not only up to scratch with the recent material group, which fell to six songs, but also about their review note of the old songs, but not with nostalgia misses the huge Matt Barlow.

So, Live in Ancient Kourion is the best element to assess whether to Iced Earth has to give a vote of confidence. And yes, you can still expect much from them but Barlow recent years slowed the progress of a formation that was destined to be the largest in the international metal.

In this second live album by Iced Earth find full concert that magical night when nothing went wrong and where impeccable repertoire of twenty subjects filled the expectations of the band.

The sound of Limassol is superb and the DVD images are not to miss them. And yes, Stu Block off the record stands that offered more aggressive with his former death metal band, showing a very interesting middle tone. It also maintains a variety of surprising range.

‘Dystopia’, a theme that gave title to his latest album, was the first of the unforgettable night and a kind of fist on the table Jon Schaffer of Iced Earth to reaffirm that will still give a lot of trouble. And there’s Stu Block offering overwhelming records that range.

Something that will be constant throughout the concert that there are many glorious moments such as ‘Slave to The Dark’, with the public backing vocals, epic ‘Setian Massacre’, the memory of Dark Saga with ‘I Died For You’ and ‘The Hunter’, cut with which ended the second encore and performance, or ‘Burning Times’ and ‘Melancholy (Holy Martyr)’ of Something Wicked This Way Comes , in addition to ‘Wolf’ , ‘Dracula’ and ‘Damien’ the superb Horror Show.

An impeccable set list Live at Ancient Koruion by and for fans of Iced Earth that cries acquiring a combo deluxe edition with two CDs and two DVD s that in addition to see the full concert, delights us with a making of a half hour, a small report of Dystopia World Tour and a photo gallery.
