Buya celebrated their One Year Anniversary at Multi-Kulti on Saturday, November 6th. What a great celebration it was. The energy from the bomberos y pleneros, plus the drummers, vocalists, poets, artists and everyone in general was outstanding. It was moving and inspiring. It was so inspiring, in fact, that there's talk of a collaboration between rock, reggae and bomba as a side project. How's that for creativity? Be on the lookout for that soon.

On this week's radio broadcast (89.5FM - Wednesdays at 7:30PM CST - Stream it at www.vocalo.org) I'll be sharing music from New York's Sonido Secreto and Chicago's own EchoNine (via Anthony Macias) plus the usual updates about new music, videos and more from the amazing world that is latin alternative entertainment.
Sonido Secreto Biography:
Imagine yourself in a labyrinth of sound, escaping from reality with abstract waves and then waking up to reality with the thunder of their rock sound. This is the sonic experience you get from this rock quartet. This visionary rock group was formed in New York City in the spring of 1998. Sonido Secreto’s founding members are Pozo, Gaia and Oveck. Pozo (Guitars/keyboards) is a painter that shifted his interest to guitar playing. Gaia (Drum/Percussions) started his musical career by playing drums for several local acts. Oveck (Lead Vocals/Guitar) was a childhood friend of Pozo and Gaia, he joined the band after the three of them came across at a rock concert in New York City. After the departure of three different bass players, Sol (Bass/Vocals), who happened to be a close friend and fan of the band was called upon the fill the void. In the early days, Sonido Secreto was categorized as a blend of Grunge and Psychedelic rock with subliminal sound effects and samples. As the band went through several members loss, their sound evolved into a more progressive approach by turning into blues and art rock. / I've had the pleasure of meeting and interviewing this band several times. (And be told 'Thank you for not asking the same questions everyone else does." Hee hee!)
