We LOVE SXSW


the Lone Star state's coolest city, Austin hosts - and we party - but our intrepid ñ correspondents -
they never reported in with thier final say - too much Lone Star Beer and Killer Texas Tacos and long sweaty music filled nights - here's the NY Times Jon Pareles instead.

WECOME to LATINO DOT - ALT. ALT BABY.


From Argentina's Juana Molina to Colombia's Bomba Esterio. Maluca, Calle 13, Natalia Lafourcade from Mexico and a gang of other acts - including gen n faves Los Amigos Invisibles and indie stalwarts Aterciopelados - In fact, more worthy Latin acts that you can imagine descended on NYC last week for the 5 days and nights of pure Latino Alternative brilliance - everybody did their own thing - everybody brought their own unique magic. The NY Times' Jon Pareles takes it in, HERE.
That's Maluca above and the pics is by Chad Batka who has a sweet slide show at the times link above. Listen to some of the bands in the posts below and above this one.

The Times incomparable Jon Parles has the story. Pic by Chad Batka.

The excellent Jon Pareles in the NY Times reviews the Juan Luis Guerra concert from this weekend and says it was quite great right here. Remember that Terra.com launch party when they played in Miami? Only the best party ever thrown down here. This pic is from the NY Times photog Robert Caplin.
