Though the years seem to take away more and more of my energy and ability to write, I still want to share the new music I encountered in 2017. Whether you want a new dance rhythm or something to sing along to, or just want to forget life and become sound, I hope you find something new to like!
Continuing with my traditional End of the Year lists— following the recent publication of my Music Highlights; you’ll see -as it is already customary- a lot of crossover picks. After all, good albums usually have some good tracks.
It’s been a daunting task to make my music lists this 2017. So without further ado~ these are my Top20 favorite albums this year~~~
Residente presents Desencuentro, a Franco-Spanish duet that features French entertainer Soko. The clip features Edgar Ramirez and Charlotte Le Bon in a disastrous serendipitous meeting at a picturesque French-styled cafe.
From strident Latin American rap to chill pop, jazz takes on classical works to unrepentant disco, along with the Utopia soundtrack (once again), songs of all sorts of styles stood out to me from the past year.
Puerto Rico’s Calle 13 release their fifth single, Latinoamérica featuring Peru’s Susana Baca, Colombia’s Totó la Momposina and Brazil’s Maria Rita — directed by Jorge Carmona and Milovan Radovic.
Calle 13 has always been known for their “in your face”, scandalous and raw lyrics. Their music is a widespread fusion of all things Latin American, music from merengue to salsa to traditional South American instruments, all over a base of steady rhythm hip-hop.
