Gaby Moreno & Van Dyke Parks – "Across the Borderline" (feat Jackson Browne)
Bilingual songstress, Gaby Moreno, will be releasing a new album the first week of October. It’s a collaboration with famed arranger/composer Van Dyke Parks entitled, Spangled (on None Such Records). To tease it up, she released this live track featuring Jackson Browne… singing in Spanish.
Olmeca – "La Balacera"
This past August, bilingual hip-hop artist Olmeca released a great album titled, Define. His ability to switch from English to Spanish on a single verse, and his unique stylized flow and diction are definitely what have made him a stand-out for the past 15 years. On Define, he teamed up with Alex Chavez of Chicago’s Dos Santos for vocal support, and it definitely elevates Olmeca’s sound. Check out the video for his second single "La Balacera," in which he comments on gun violence that has plagued communities of color.
El Dusty – "Nueva Generación" (feat. Charli 2na, Ozomatli & Mr. Vallenato)
We keep it socially conscious today with this insane collaboration from Corpus Christi and Latin-Grammy nominated, nu-Cumbia DJ/Producer El Dusty. It’s a simple lyric video but it features vocals from legends Charli 2na and Ozomatli. Acclaimed accordionist Mr Vallenato also plays on this would-be-banger, that decided to keep the message of activism as the highlight of the song instead of fat drops. It’s kinda perfect tho.
