POPULARITY
La música ciertamente no fue aburrida en 2004, decía NME. Desde el problema de vestuario de Janet Jackson en el Super Bowl, hasta el 'Re-Invention Tour' de Madonna, el año tuvo suficiente material para mantenernos entretenidos, y desde América latina comenzaban a levantarse discos y artistas de un nuevo movimiento urbano, ya no tan casual como el previo "Meneito". La transformación digital de la música comenzaba a darse desde la nube en iTunes, y los sonidos del Hip Hop y R&B dominaban la radio con Usher y Alicia Keys. Los artistas del pop/rock se consolidaban y comenzaban a darle la vuelta al mundo canciones como "La Camisa Negra" y "La Gasolina", porque 2004 produjo géneros tan potentes localmente como el vallenato "puppy" colombiano, el reggaetón puertorriqueño y la cumbia mexicana. Revisemos las listas, y escuchemos por qué no volverá a haber otro año como hace 20 años.
On today's episode we say goodbye to our little meneitos! We're on the verge of redesigning our format and have decided it's time to move on from these mini-episodes. But we've got one last for you where we talk about the songs we are digging right now. As usual, it's an eclectic mix--throwback Bronx bachata, queer Latin trap, Latinx pop and a tropical jam. We're also asking you to take a few minutes to give us some feedback about our show! We'd love to know what you like, what you don't like, what you want to see more of. Take a few minutes to fill out this survey and we'll send you a free Radio Menea sticker as a thank you: https://goo.gl/forms/JM6vGZTebaWMwjyp1 Featuring music by Xtreme, Kevin Fret, Bacilos and Cimafunk.

Estamos orgullosos de coincidir en el tiempo y el espacio con varias generaciones de artistas que han desafiado a las convenciones del flamenco, del rap, del trap y de todas las etiquetas que se pongan por delante.Los genes de Camarón abren y cierran el programa. Omar Montes canta el Soy Gitano con las hijas de Camarón y fundimos con el gurú del compás entero y verdadero desde el barrio de Santiago en Jerez: Diego Carrasco, Juan de la Morena, Maloko y los Gipsy Rappers.Así nos quitamos las telarañas del espíritu, que hoy en día se habla mucho sin pensar y sin escuchar. Nos damos un Meneito con Original Elías y Moncho Chavea y saltamos a París donde viven Ibeyi, las gemelas hijas de Angá, el gran percusionista cubano que hacen una colaboración con La Mala una mujer que ayudó a quitarle telarañas al hip hop español. Recordamos especialmente el día que se presentó con una big band del taller de músicos y el momento especial fue cuando se atrevió a cantar con el piano de Refree.Mola que Chavea y Haze colaboren. A Haze le despreciaron desde un sector del hip hop y el tío se hizo más fuerte, se fue a la universidad y se sacó un doctorado de literatura sin perder calle. Daviles de Novelda, Negro Jari y Ajierro 122 nos hablan de su realidades de lo que tienen cerca ya saben: “Vietnam”, “Cosas de gitanos” y “La costa del sur”.Y así nos vamos a la vieja escuela con Lola Flores, una mujer que rompió clichés, los de su época y las siguientes. Ella descubrió a Tomasito, un portento, un artista de esos que le cambian los pulsos y el compás al planeta entero. No provoca grandes convulsiones ni tsunamis virales, lo de Tomás Moreno te entra poco a poco y un día descubres que no puedes vivir sin ese ritmo, sin esa alegría. Tomás es como Lola Flores que todo lo hace a su manera. Le escuchamos con el inolvidable Moraito.Y escuchamos a los Gipsy Rappers por Lola Flores que comparten con Tomasito el barrio de Santiago y esa manera de jugar con las bulerías a Lola incluido en un disco titulado Jerez. Feria del caballo. A Lola Flores pese a todas las apariencias un buen disco.Los Tres Delincuentes que rapea Elena Andújar es un tema de Delincuent Habits que aparecieron en Madrid en el Festimad de 1997, un momento crucial para el hip hop en español. Recuperamos la vieja escuela y la nueva con Coke Céspedes del que recuperamos una composición del 2013 con Kiki Cortiña, joven cantaor que colabora con Tomatito y que se integró magníficamente en el proyecto Shongay. Cierra Mancloy. Si les gusta lo comparten; si no, no pasa nada. Pinchan en otro lado y tan amigos.
On this week's episode we've got our usual eclectic mix of música--a little salsa romántica, electronica with good vibes and a sweet dreamy track. Plus we share our thoughts about two pop culture offerings out right now: One Day at a Time and Black Panther. Featuring music by Rey Ruiz, Kaleema, Lido Pimienta and Vincente Garcia.
