Podcast 42 - NuCumbia

So much good news this week. Not only did my lovely wife give me a beautiful daughter on Monday but I also have a new podcast for you! And if I must say so myself this one is absolute fire. Since I first heard some bits of latin electronica I have been on a quest to find more. I introduced some of it back in Podcast 22 but I discovered so much more since then. There are so many different labels and sub-genres but it seems like NuCumbia fit this mix the best though that is surely inadequate. Words never do the music justice so plug in and turn it up.

Editor's Note (on lack of editing): Why do I always insist of pronouncing Jeremy Sole as "Solay" instead of the correct "Soul"? I noticed my error during editing and I wanted to keep reference to him in the mix but was too lazy to go rerecord it so Jeremy, my apologies.

It's that time of year again. Time for Austin's largest concentrated music festival, ACL. I won't get to be there this year being that I live in Los Angeles now and have baby number 2 on the way any day now but that doesn't mean I can't share some of my favorites for the upcoming show. I really like putting this podcast together because it forces me to check out music outside of what I am currently listening to which is always a good thing. I am consistently blown away by how much good music there is out there. I'd never heard of at least half these bands before thoroughly going through the ACL lineup but I feel like I've found at least two new favorite songs, and they're acoustic! Hope you enjoy the mix and if you're going to the show well, I know you're gonna love it. If you get any good pictures or videos at the show, share them on the facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/activelistener
