OLDIES SUNDAY: La Lupe – Puro Teatro (1969)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Welcome to the month of March, and it’s the start of “Women’s History Month“. On “Oldies Sunday“, we highlight a number of Women who have made significant contributions to music. Today, we salute the Island of Cuba, and we feature La Lupe, one of the Island’s most energetic Vocalists, and “The Queen Of Latin Soul“. We check out her track, “Puro Teatro“.

Released through Tico Records in 1969, La Lupe sings about a love that wasn’t real from the start, but she fell for the charm in, “Puro Teatro (Pure Theater)”. Known for her powerful vocals, Lupe commanded the listener’s attention immediately, as she shares her disappointment in this affair. “Puro Teatro” was featured on the 1969 album, “La Lupe Es La Reina“, and is loved by many fans worldwide. Having established her presence in Boleros, Guarachas, and Latin Soul, her live performances would at times shock viewers because her voice was so powerful, but it didn’t stop her from getting bookings, and collaborations with some of the best Musicians and Artists in her time.

Since the release of “Puro Teatro”, La Lupe went on to become a big name with a number of albums and singles to her name. Her popularity went on the decline in the late 1960s/70s due to the rise of Salsa Music, and by 1980, she would retire due to religious reasons. Life wasn’t always kind to her over time, and in 1992 she passed away at the age of 55. La Lupe continues to be inspired by a number of Artists, and lives on in music and Film.

THANK YOU LA LUPE FOR THIS TIMELESS SONG!

Kickraux, DJ Crazy Neil, Abel & Lexo Make The Connection In “Tell Mi (Verdad)”

Posted on by swadedavillain

It has been said before that Reggae Music is universal, and it continues to be that way today. You can drop a pin on any part of the world, and hear someone either enjoying some Reggae selections, or making their own Reggae song or Riddim. When it’s done in combination with other genres, it can be a beautiful thing. US-based Producer Kickraux has been cooking up lately, and what he has in store for the rest of the year is life-changing. This time around, he gives us an Introduction to a duo who look to cause a major shift this year. From Venezuela we get Reggaeton Artists Abel & Lexo, and we now check out their single, “Tell Mi (Verdad)“.

Featuring the “Mobay President” DJ Crazy Neil, Kickraux brings Reggae and Latin Music together for even more vibes with Abel & Lexo on “Tell Mi (Verdad)”/”Tell Me The Truth“. When things don’t seem right in the air and the person you care about seems shifty, the duo pick up on the cues and just want the truth to come out. Is it deception? Is it just a bad day? Talk up! The classic Reggae production blends well with the duo’s lyrics, and listeners can’t help but dance to the sounds. “Tell Mi (Verdad)” is just one of the few releases through Kickraux and 11often in the past few months including “If It’s Too Heavy” with Yaksta, and with Abel & Lexo at the forefront, we will be hearing even more leading to an official project from the duo. ¡Dime la verdad!

OLDIES SUNDAY: Luis Días & Sonia Silvestre – Baila En La Calle (1984)

Posted on by swadedavillain

The month of February is recognized as Dominican Heritage Month. The month (January 27-February 27) honors those born in the Dominican Republic, and of Dominican descent in the United States, who have contributed to the community as well as made cultural achievements. The month ends on the Country’s Independence Day celebrations. Today on “Oldies Sunday“, we recognize an Individual who made significant contributions to the musical development of the Dominican Republic. This Man is known as the “Father of Dominican Rock“, but many know him as Luis Días a.k.a. “El Terror“. Today, we check out, “Baila En La Calle (Carnaval)“.

Arranged by Jorge Taveras and featuring Sonia Silvestre, “Baila En La Calle (Dance In The Street)” was Luis Días’ way of building unity, promoting positive vibes, and enjoy good times in the Dominican Republic. Released through Secretaria De Estado de Turismo in 1984 (but premiered in 1983), Días was commissioned to compose a theme song for the 1984 staging of the Dominican Carnival. The release was a success, and it quickly gained popularity in the Country, and in the diaspora, prompting a number of covers over the years, including one made famous by fellow Dominican, Fernando Villalona. Días would receive a national award from the Government of the Dominican Republic for his composition, and it would go on to be sampled by Wyclef Jean and Shakira for their classic collaboration, “Hips Don’t Lie“.

Since the release of “Baila En La Calle”, Luis Días would go on to be a cultural figure. He composed hundreds of songs that would later on be covered by numerous Artists, he composed music for a number of Films, worked with UNICEF and various Government entities, and was considered a “National Cultural Patrimony” in his homeland before his passing in 2009. “Baila En La Calle” is still played and covered to this day. Big up the Dominican Republic!

THANK YOU LUIS DÍAS FOR THIS TIMELESS HIT!

Rytikal Links Up With Kybba & @JBalvin For “I Love It”

Posted on by swadedavillain

When Dancehall and Latin Music collide, it’s a party! Italian Producer/DJ Kybba is here to liven up with the place with 2026 vibes. He steps out with, “I Love It“.

Featuring Colombian star J Balvin and Dancehall Artist Rytikal, it’s time to party with the ladies on Kybba’s “I Love It”. This one is for the ladies who know how to move, know how to command the scene with their sex appeal, and keep the temperatures rising. We get a blend of Latin Music and Dancehall (some say BassHall), and they’re paired with good intentions. The track is accompanied by a music video directed by My Old Skin, and we get visuals of the nightlife that many are accustomed to in the Caribbean, and in Latin America. Rytikal makes a big move with this collaboration, and we look forward to him expanding his catalogue with more star-studded releases. Play this one LOUD!

Bad Bunny Makes History At Super Bowl LX Performance

Posted on by swadedavillain

Fresh from creating History at the 68th annual GRAMMY Awards on February 1, Puerto Rican star Bad Bunny doubles up with his appearance at the Super Bowl LX/Apple Music Halftime Show. Since its announcement in 2025, Bad Bunny has been met with praises, but was also met with negative feedback from Conservatives in the US, with threats and shady remarks daily on Social and traditional Media. Despite it all, the Artist holds the spot for being the first Artist to perform primarily in Spanish, and what a time was had.

Bad Bunny entered with that Puerto Rican energy, and a load of culture as he kicked off his set with a series of tracks from his growing catalogue. Joined by a Band, a few Dancers, and a couple that got married on the set, he made a statement throughout his performance, highlighted elements of Puerto Rican life locally and overseas, brought out Lady Gaga, Karol G, Jessica Alba, Cardi B, Pedro Pascal, Ricky Martin, and his GRAMMY award, and performed tracks like “Yo Perreo Sola“, “Monaco“, “DtMF“, “EoO“, “NUEVAYoL“, and “Tití Me Preguntó” before shouting out North America, Central America, and South America in closing. He did it for the culture, and negative forces couldn’t stop it. Salute Bad Bunny! The only thing more powerful than hate, is love.
