Kassin +2
The trio of Moreno Veloso, Alexandre Kassin, and Domenico Lancelloti has just completed a trilogy of albums (each appended with +2) where the band name changes as each member takes his turn writing music and overseeing the production process.

Camilo Lara
Camilo Lara is the man behind Mexican Institute Of Sound, but he's also a top record exec for EMI Mexico with his ear glued to the underground, as well as an author on the verge of his print debut.

After six years away from the studio and a couple of extensive American tours, Latin rock rebel Manu Chao is back in the spotlight with La Radiolina—perhaps his most urgent and political statement yet.

Federico Aubele
Travel is an ongoing theme for Argentinean songwriter Federico Aubele, whose Panamericana is named after the famed highway that stretches from Alaska to the tip of Argentina. Not only does he let everything he comes across influence his music, but he spins it all into a rich, sexy tapestry that jibes perfectly with the ultra-hip Eighteenth Century Lounge label headed by Thievery Corporation. GR catches up with Aubele to get to the bottom of his travel bug.

Jesus Alemañy And Cubanismo
Renowned for a lean brass section and a freewheeling, danceable jazz style, the powerhouse ensemble Cubanismo is back with Greetings From Havanna. Led by trumpeter and frontman Jesus Alemañy, the group sitrs up a wicked brew of guaracha, son, rumba, mambo, and Afro-Cuban jazz—a full-blown musical assault with so much swing, it could make Congress rethink the U.S.-Cuba embargo.
