Rock Cochabambino ---> Cartel Afonico

Hi Guys,

I hope you are all doing great today!
Thanks for listening to the most recent episode of Latin Soundzz: Music of Bolivia.
If you missed the LIVE show, you can still listen to it at soundcloud.com/latinsoundzz!

As you may know, during the Bolivia episode, we played some Bolivian rock!
Although we do not have enough time during the show to go over a lot of great artists and bands, we always try to pick something interesting & give you a little taste of the music genre we talk about.
It's really hard to fit everything into just 1 hour, therefore there are a lot of songs/artists/bands that are left out.

I decided to write this post, so you
can do some research on your own and get to know the great Bolivian rock band we talked about on Monday a little more. I personally loved their songs ever since I found out about them last week while preparing for the show. Cartel Afonico is a band from the Bolivian city of Cochabamba. During the show last Monday, we played 2 of their songs: "Maldita" & "Rock Star", but they have many more great songs to listen to!


I encourage you to check them out, and keep on expanding your musical horizons.

Besitos & Saludos,
La Guerita

Experience the musical richness of Bolivia!

Hi Guys, it's La Guerita :)

Next Monday, on October 12th, Latin Soundzz will take you to one of the most interesting places in Latin America. That's right! We are going to give you a dose of some great music from one of the very few countries in the world, where all of it citizens rejected McDonalds, and boycotted all of its restaurants across the country! 

Let us take you on a musical journey to BOLIVIA.

The cultural and musical richness of Bolivia are extremely impressive. Bolivia remains one of the most culturally linked countries to the indigenous people throughout all South & Central America. Its music has a very long history. Despite the period of Spanish domination and European influences, the people of Bolivia managed to preserve a lot of their indigenous folklore and traditions.

Traditional Bolivian (and other South American) musical instruments include the charango, charangón, ronroco, hualaycho, zampoña, quena, bombo, huancara, reco reco, chiapya box, pinquillo, tarka, toyos, pututu, Andean saxophone, and sheep hooves formed into a kind of shaker, as well as European musical instruments such as the violin and guitar.

Musical forms such as the Bailecito, Kullawada, Tonada (or,directly Tinku), Taquirari, Carnavalito, Lamento, Saya, Tuntuna, Taki Taki and Cueca are prominently featured in Bolivia's cultural music. As we prepare for the show about Bolivia, I want you to keep in mind that we are carefully selecting the best songs from each genre for you. I can't wait to share our Bolivian treasures with you! Listen to us on October 12th at 10 A.M. (PT) at ksfsmedia.net/radio.

Don't be an ignorant! Listen, learn & have fun with Latin Soundzz! hehehe;)
