Watch the bukkake-inclusive video for Los Punsetes’ “Tus Amigos”:
Torreblanca is fronted by Mexico DF singer-songwriter and talented pianist Juan Manuel Torreblanca, who earlier this year released a remarkable debut EP titled Defensa, in which Natalia Lafourcade and the girl from Hello Seahorse! who looks like Lisa Loeb (aka Denise “Lo Blondo”) had guest appearances.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT—Heineken MezclaSonic Tour, the country-wide concert series that has hit up Miami and recently New York (headed now to LA), made a stop in Chicago on June 25, with its well-equipped artists in tow: Argentina’s Babasonicos, and the MezclaSonic DJs (Camilo Lara project Mexican Institute of Sound, and New York duos Nacotheque and D’Marquesina).
The Heineken MezclaSonic series highlights the clashing of cultures and music styles, enabling its DJs to create tailored mashup mixes for the masses.
Watch the video for exclusive behind-the-scenes footage and for some insider words of wisdom from the DJs themselves. Also check back in for the upcoming New York video edition, coming soon!
Upon first glance, the guys of Telegrama look like Ivy League types. You know, the kind of guys who are bored of summering in the Hamptons because how passé, right? So, they decide to backpack through Eastern Europe after freshman year and then come back all bohemian-like, except you know they still send out their laundry and can’t prepare a meal more complex than a bowl of cereal. And this persona is exactly the one that Telegrama is playing up in their second album, the aptly-titled Country Club.
The blue-blood style trio, formed in Caracas in 2005, is (at least aesthetically) Latin America’s Vampire Weekend. In their golf-ready khakis and pastel polos, they cleverly pair tongue-in-cheek lyricism with even cheekier pop-punk instrumentation. Telegrama declares in “Jamas” that they will never change, no matter how hard anyone tries to change them. And you believe them in the way you believe your teenage sister, who is going through her rebellious phase.
In “Prisionero,” which samples the Los Prisioneros anthem “We Are Sudamerican Rockers,” we encounter the familiar narrative of Creative Person becoming Boring Person when they get a haircut and a suit and the dreaded first office job. This is slightly frightening, but the storytelling makes it mostly just hilarious.
You can download “Jamas” and “Prisionero” below (watch the unnecessarily angry “Prisionero” video as well) and let Telegrama soundtrack your next trip to the tennis courts.
Mexican Rock pioneers Maldita Vecindad and Spanish futuristica-pop chavitos The Pinker Tones will be performing at Central ParkSummerStage today.
