Sinatra/Jobim. Frank said he hadn't sung this softly since he was a boy. But he fell in love with Brazilian music. Francis Albert Sinatra and Antonio Carlos Jobim. Dindi.

You gotta put me on.

"Cachao is our musical father. He is revered by all who have come in contact with him and his music," Andy Garcia said in a statement Saturday. "Maestro . . . you have been my teacher, and you took me in like a son. So I will continue to rejoice with your music and...

What ever happened to .. . and then DJ de la luz sent me youtube link to some LIME stuff and a link to them on Wikipedia and it kind of went from there.Suddenly, you couldn't stop the freestyle, disco, whatever you wanna call it. Music people in Miami love. Read the...

Are pretty much my favorite artists. You know, Beck, Leonard Cohen, Hansel y Raul. The trinity. When we launch the Miami-centric part of our site in a few weeks, you'll be able to read the big, long Rolling Stone style interviews I did with them back in the 90s....

appears alot in the typography bit below. It's by Koos Dekker in the Netherlands. It's from the Big Lebowski, which Satch turned us onto, made us fans (fanatics) of, years back. Hipped to these vids by Jim Emerson at his Scanners blog. This vid contains the F WORD....

This one is for the one that turns heads when she walks into the benefit, dress cut all the way to her thigh. The one that glows like Madonna in 1985 and Lulu in Something Wild , the girl that chases it, stalks it, follows it, goes to the movies alone. She's a slight...

and speaking of Bill Conti, I could have uploaded Redemption, that great number that starts Rocky II or Alone in the Ring (which hundreds of people on youtube upload their homemade versions of), or his great score for The Right Stuff, but here's the end of Victory,...

Too bad there's no video for Linda -one of the best songs ever as far as I'm concerned. Sampling Genius of Love waaay before that Mariah/ODB jam (but after the Grandmaster Flash sample back in the day) from Mellowman Ace's 2nd album 'The Brother With Two Tongues'....

Wait till Fergie starts rappin' or scrub forward to that part. This is sweet. A mash up of London Bridge and Genius of Love. That dog is bananas.

I saw this at the Trail theater on Calle Ocho, home to Roblan for years. The company that released the film had a stratagy of renting out movie houses being used for other things and putting these massive speakers in, as if it were a concert. The sound was great....

Arielle Castillo in the Miami New Times has the straight dirt on Jose El Rey. He gives out Pastelitos and Malta at his shows. He hangs at the Jamaica Motel and Piccadilly Cafeteria in Hialeah and ¡ñoooooo Que Barato! It's a goof on Freestyle and that bad 'ol 80s, 90s,...

Also gorgeous ñ crush Tina Fey hosted SNL and this milkshake sketch rocked it. Check it out at TV crunch. Better than thinking about the Raul C. farce that's goin' on in the papers. Here's the milkshake/There Will Be Blood dirt from you USA Today. Novela was ahead of...

It's Friday. And that means music. So, lets honor the great, perfect Machito & His AfroCubans with Graciela. Stick around for the interview with the Japanese host after the jam. Worth waiting for just to hear how super smooth Machito is in an int. Did a cooler person...

We know Valentine's Day is over. It's from Seasame Street.

Jacob M. Ruefer is the bomb. A musician who has great kinda Johnathan Richmond-like originals, like 'Trophy Wife", but also, importantly, a buncha amazingly cool and original covers of obscure songs from the likes of M.I.A, Fleetwood Mac, Blondie, Sonic Youth, Pixies,...

Russia. James Brown. Apollo Creed. Carl Weathers. Directed by Sly. It's presidents day.

Orquesta de la Luz (with Tito Puente & Oscar de Leon)

If it's Friday, it must be Mambo. Damaso Perez Prado.

Paul Williams wrote that baby. Litte Enis, in Smokey and the Bandit. He didn't know the half of it. J.lo knows the rest. A valentine to 'even when it seems perfect, there's always round two'. Everybody moved on. Everybody was fine.
