latin american hipster shit

I don't know if this counts as Latin American hipster shit or not, but the general style is my favorite recent Latin American discovery:

i really like that. but, yeah, hipsters probably wouldn't. whoever the hell they are.

I'm really into Belanova, have been since their first album. Also like almost everything that comes out on Nacional Records in the US.

x-pssst

I don't know. How would you describe this demographic, other than probably very horny young Mexicans:

(I know I'm guilty of linking to the same shit in multiple ILM threads.)

"I thought there were going to be more girls here."

huh not quite as much dancing as i would expect there

i like the sound of it though

That's what I was saying on another thread: the crowd looks like it's not sure it knows what to do with it. I think maybe Puerto Ricans need to steal tribal guarachero and claim it as their own and piss everyone off. At least there will be more dancing.

(I should give credit to fauxmarc for turning me onto this stuff.)

i was watching live footage of lenny dee spinning hardcore for drunk kids around the globe for HOURS the other night. lenny in scotland! lenny in croatia! i don't know what was wrong with me. well, i was stoned, but still...

has nothing to do with this thread though so just disregard.

Fwiw, I was really into Latin alternative stuff in the early/mid '90s (when people still called it "rock en español"), for a while there almost to the exclusion of everything else. Even went to Mexico a couple times to interview bands like Caifanes and Fobia. But none of this newer stuff has done much for me, and a lot of it just makes me shrug my shoulders. Probably I just haven't heard the right records. I did kind of like the Garotas Suecas album on American Dust, Escaldante Banda, this year, though.

zmog, why did you link to that... is that a parody site?

there's a lot of dancing in that rincon - i mean since tribal's "new" in musical years it's not like there's an official traditional partner dance for it - most of that bouncing seen isn't too different from what you see end up with when cumbia or pasito durango is on and people are dancing by themselves. with some self-consciousness added as i think that's mostly highschoolers.

but re: original thread latin american hipster shit is just as "precious" and tired as non-latin american hipster shit but with more ska as someone mentioned in another thread

x-pssst

Lol, I was not expecting partner dancing.

unfortunately the potential partner dancing is all i can see in my head now.

i wasn't really expecting partner dancing either, just a little more energy? oh well. what's this about not knowing how to dance to cumbia -- i always thought of cumbia as super trad (ie not at all hipster)?

nah wasn't saying cumbia isn't traditional, just comparing the solo-bouncing you can find at cumbia parties with what's in the rincon vid, but i hear what's said re: energy

what are some antecedents?

Plastilina Mosh.

dear balls,

saw that you gave javiera mena some p+j love. are you currently writing for anyone? would read if so.

i love the shoutout to old school cumbia song "pollera colora" here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZXlgNMDK3E

they qualify as hipster because they're playing the empty bottle in chicago and also only hipsters shave half of their heads
if you like the tougher side of shakira but wish she weren't so groany, this is for you

i guess should mention for searching purposes that the above post is "fuego" bomba estéreo -- which i realize is a couple of years old, but they're touring now and i bet this will be their big summer

no one cares, but i am going to see this band ^^ on saturday and it's going to be a bombazo

Well have enjoy it and just ignore ILM's obliviousness (mine included).

pedantic point: el guincho is from the canary islands which are in europe

Moderatto are also pretty hipster. They make "ironic" hair metal covers from well-known latin pop hits.

Also: Titan - corazon

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cn9Bz6c-674

And while they're not hipster musicians per se latin hipsters love terrible cumbia artists like Tigresa del Oriente ironically.

This was pretty massive a year or two back: http://soundcloud.com/losmacuanos/pueblo-muerto-feat-scout-klas

man, i was a cunt a year ago

all said, i go back to mexico continually and lcd soundsystem has a surprisingly huge presence there. i gave some girls from guadalajara a ride and they played a cd and i remember them being blasted on the stereo when i was at a kinda hippie-dippie beach hovel in sayulita. def would never have expected this.

for the last year the biggest search engine hit on my blog by several orders of magnitude has been "mexican hipster boots"

Been playing "Cómo puedes vivir contigo mismo?" a lot recently:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWaf8Ndcr18

Particularly recommended to anyone mourning the lack of a new Kelley Polar album (though I guess it's a bit dancier than most KP). First read about it on the Singles Jukebox but don't know if it has crossed over to ILM at all.

The rest of the Alex Anwandter album is solid too, if not quite as massive as "Cómo puedes..."

does gepe fall under hipster shit? a lot of his stuff is kinda twee but i like this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFNDKsTtFXw

loving gepe and a lot of indie pop + hip-hop chilenos for years, glad to see his been getting around stateside, we just had him in dc this past weekend

that alex anwandter is great.

this isnt really what this thread is for but i figured a nerdy genre-specific compilation of obscurities at least partially qualifies as hipstery:

That's Selma Oxor.

The Sexy Fi album is some decent Brazilian art rock hipster shit that I haven't seen many people pick up on:

wouldn't call this hipster but it's latin, bose is good as usual and the lady looks stunning.

In Nueva York Saturday night

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.

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

agreed, awesomely laid back, really great song. will listen to more of their stuff

No mention of Maria Usbeck upthread. She belongs.

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.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgjRPk4E6Eg
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QaJ_TMYR8Y

Bomba Estereo have been mentioned on the various yearly Afro-Latin threads.

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.)

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

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.

Modular - Fiebre En La Disco
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omFjFIyjjVg

Love this new MULA: https://mulaband.bandcamp.com/track/fugitiva

Listening to Natalia Lafourcade's Hasta la Raiz for the first time in a while. Man, this album is so good.

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-

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAmCQ_vL7w8

bomba estereo - "el alma y el cuerpo" (2012)

i don't even know if she fits in here, but this ely guerra tune is so dreamy and glorious. get lost in that guitar. wow.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpO6b4DdWQ4

ely guerra - "colmena" (2009)

I thought the Alex Anwandter album from this year was pretty good

Some latinamerican hipster shit I’ve been enjoying in the past couple years:

(Mexico) Tonga Conga - Mira Bien
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCal34JvxfE

(Colombia) Cero39 - Hipnotico
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBAzpGPcRGk

(Chile) Chicarica - la noche de ayer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xe71GxCSmTE

(Chile) Playa Gótica - Fuego
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aC-AjwVetU

(Mexico) Clubz - nagano feat. ela minus
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-uiiycDKaA

(Mexico) Disco Bahia - Necedad
https://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:

Lucia Mendez - Margarita

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_GOQ3aXybw

It’s also non-ironically a pretty good song.
