Welcome to the first podcast of WUBA Radio! WhatsUpBuenosAires.com is determined to bring you the best of arts and culture in Buenos Aires, and have therefore decided to start a series of podcasts featuring what's up in the Buenos Aires music scene each month. 

At the beginning of every month, check WhatsUpBuenosAires.com and download your podcast where host Allie Silver (alliesilver.com) will spin some of her favorite tracks, highlighting local artists as well as keeping you informed of the international talent in town. 

This month we are featuring Colombia in honor of the mass of Colombian artists playing this month, and also to touch on how Argentine musicians have taken Colombian rhythms and made them their own. 

We sat down with Sidestepper who kicked off Club Niceto's Colombian Invasion, a series of three concerts that began with Sidestepper and will continue with Bomba Estéreo and Systema Solar. 

The Colombian Invasion will continue this Thursday the 31st with Bomba, a musical project formed in 2005 by Simón Mejia that today has become one of the most important bands to come out of the new Colombian music scene. Behind the microphone is the explosive singer Li Saumet, whose live shows mix traditional folklore, dancy cumbia and modern hip hop flows. 

WUBA is raffling tickets to both Bomba Estéreo and Systema Solar, for more information click here: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=196514083705108

Whats Up Buenos Aires Radio Vol. 1- Colombian Invasion!

Del album MAGIN DIAZ REMIXES , konn recocords.

In 2015, after 10 years of recording and touring through over 50 cities in five different countries, electronic folk duo Lulacruza released Orcas, their critically-acclaimed fifth studio album, and most intimate work to date. To make the recording, Lulacruza traveled from their native South America to Orcas Island in the Pacific Northwest, crafting a both delicate and powerful album, which has garnered critical acclaim from Gilles Peterson to the Huffington Post, who wrote, “As musical alchemists, [Alexandra] Ortiz and [Luis] Maurette have achieved a harmonious balance between organic and inorganic sounds, creating a truly shamanic sonic journey.” 

January 15th, 2016 will mark the release of the first volume of Orcas Remixed, for which Lulacruza invited a select group of internationally renowned electronic music producers from across the globe to remix and rework their pristine, hyper-acoustic songs. The remixes will be released in five volumes of four remixes each through a “pay-what-you-want” download model, matching up producers from a wide range of genres and collectives, including digital cumbia from Argentina, New Mexican desert techno, transformational jungle kirtan and more. 

Orcas Remixed Vol. 2 includes remixes by Chancha Via Circuito, David Last, King Coya and MI. Other volumes feature remixes by Nicola Cruz, El Buho, SaQi, and Sleepers Work, Desert Dwellers, Paul Feathericci, San Ignacio, David Last, Montoya, EVHA and more. 

Lulacruza is releasing Orcas Remixed in collaboration with Colorado-based label, Black Swan Sounds. Since 2011, BSS has pursued a new vision for global music and has been a leader in the yoga and devotional electronic music scene, a unique match for Lulacruza’s deep roots of electronic folklore and ancestrally rooted music. Says Black Swan Minister of Music Joel Davis, “As a listener, I’ve been a fan of Alejandra and Luis’ music for several years, and as someone working in the record industry, I’ve admired their out-of-the-box, DIY approach. Given Black Swan’s aim to create a new paradigm for the 21st century record label, teaming up with Lulacruza on the Orcas Remixed project feels like a natural fit.”

Here is a mix I made dedicate to all those kids that we lost on a fire in Oakland on December second 2016. For all those kids, their family, their friends, our community and everybody else who felt very touch about what happened…


We Pray from the Depths of Our Hearts,

Fortunate Child ,

All that is Born will Die.  

Our True Nature is Unborn,

Infinite, Limitless, Eternal, Vast and Free.

Great Ones, Manifestations of Unconditional Love, Compassion and Kindness. 

Carry Us on Gentle Wings, 

Enveloped by the Infinite Light of your Loving Kindness, 

To the Realm of Great Bliss, Presence and Peace.

Rest in this Deathless Pure Nature of Being,

At One With All the Is.

CARACOL by TREMOR (King Coya Remix)

Lulacruza is an electronic folk duo operating at the junction of the hypermodern and the ancient.  Their music weaves together hypnotic female singing, South American folk instruments and electronic processing, while channeling pulsating waves from the source of creation.
Lulacruza combines songs, soundscapes and dance music with astonishing ease. In their live sets, they process and sample acoustic instruments, moving from tribal beats and songs amidst electronic textures, to beautiful drones and chants. 

Treating sound almost like a malleable plastic material, Lulacruza creates live and organic sonic spaces. Their music has the power to induce intense trance-like states, invoking otherworldly nature spirits and activating the resonant frequencies of the human body. 

Lulacruza is made up of Alejandra Ortiz (Colombia) and Luis Maurette (Argentina). Alejandra is an extraordinary songbird and plays the Colombian cuatro and percussion. Luis Maurette complements with electronic processing and sequencing, as well as percussion and charango. Live, they recently incorporated Pablo Paz (Argentina) on bass, electronics, and percussion.

Since meeting at Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA, USA, in 2005, Lulacruza has performed in over 50 cities in 5 countries and released 6 albums: Do Pretty! (2006), Soloina (2008), an EP of remixes called Canta (2009), Circular Tejido (2011, Esperando el Tsunami - Visual Album (2015) and Orcas (2015). As well as the film Esperando el Tsunami with French videographer Vincent Moon. 
Their music has been included in documentaries in Colombia, Argentina and Mexico, as well as compilations in Japan, Argentina, Italy, the USA and Venezuela. In 2007, they were chosen as Today’s Top Tune on Morning Becomes Eclectic KCRW 89.9. In 2008, they were Artists in Residency at the Red Poppy Art House in San Francisco, CA and were recipients of both the Zellerbach Family Foundation grant and the William & Flora Hewlett Foundation grant for their multidisciplinary performances and social reach. In 2009 and 2011, their second, fourth and sixth albums were included in the prestigious Club del Disco catalogue in Argentina. 

They are based in Buenos Aires (Argentina).


El Papachango 

Argentinian Dj sensation, El Papachango has been at the forefront of the West Coast Bass music scene since co-founding the legendary performance and avant-garde production crew, El Circo in 2002. He brought with him a love of music from South America that he blends with west coast underground beats to create a groove that is unique and infectious wherever he goes. His sound is characterized by sexy, soulful banging Global Bass fusion, with a Latin sazon that is quintessential to his name. He has headlined the biggest Festival stages across US and Canada, such as Lightning In  Bottle, Shambhala, Bass Coast, Symbiosis, and Burning Man, to name a few. The past year his performances have proven to be exceptionally electrifying since touring as a duo with live vocalist Dakini Star.
