Toreros Muertos

Well, the idea is more or less the same misskprimary via FlickrThis antique band is probably the most epic band of the 80's in Spain since all of them are notable trolls, this song is a sample:
Mi agüita amarilla (My lil' yellow water) is the water cycle explain it very thoroughly where the starting point it's a drunktard taking a leak, just figure it out guys...
So you guys probably asked themselves why we posted this song while we promise a full week enterely devoted to Día de Muertos or Halloween (the same thing), well, we do it because they're los toreros muertos, the dead bullfighters...
(...)
Ok, we will post more about día de muertos or Halloween tomorrow, then, enjoy the music of these geniuses.

Cuca

First we offer apologies because our lack of activity last days, to recover the wasted time we post about this awesome band: Cuca.

Cuca was a band from Guadalajara, Mexico, that rocks in the 90's , If you mix together hard rock with some slices of gothic and a lot of humor and a very mexican sense of the music you got them. Cuca disbanded when José Fors, their frontman, quit to became a painter and manage his own side project (Forseps), but now that he fail at this purpose they reunited for some few presentations and discs, any of them relevant at all so far.

This was their first hit: Señorita cara de pizza, lols ensued.

Irreverent

Bersuit Vergarabat is a band created at the lates 80's and came out from the underground circuit of Buenos Aires during the 90's. Appearing at festivals at neighboring countries. The band became popular among the youngsters of that time because of their compositions, that combined a rebellious and disobedient actitude and Latin rhythms like cumbia, vallenato and hip-hop with rock from the slums and some metals. Anything could happen in their crazy-ass concerts.

Sr. Cobranza (Mr. Collection) - Bersuit @España 1999

Psicodelic riffs? In my rock en español?

Yep, bros, it's more likely than yo think. Since Mexico had a very cute and nice version of Woodstock named "Avándaro" (Valle de Bravo, wey), a lot of bands emerged from this festival, like Three souls in my mind, Love and Peace,Trolebús and (of course) Love Army, whose frontman was named Pájaro Alberto, he came from the happiest place on Earth (Tijuana) and certanly the guy was too advanced with respect to his time, just check it fellas.

Pájaro Alberto, Viaje fantástico (Fantastic trip).

Comedy and rock… La Orquesta Mondragón!

Notice: every time that the official seal of approval of Pedobears appers here, is because the rock band or the rockstar get in troubles with Teh Man for lolitas' issues. Enjoy this post.

La Orquesta Mondragón, AKA the singer Javier Gurruchaga and his fella in crime and also comedian Popotxo Ayestaran get together at Spain in 1976 to create this band. Their style is very scenic and their songs are plenty of humor.

Now-a-days they continue, but they had a break after some problems, we mean that Javier Gurruchaga has his ass in jail for some loli's affairs, but seems that El Siete Pilas (the spanish version of Bubba) didn't take his ass... or we don't know.

After all, Gurruchaga returns to the rock scene and they're not tired...

Enjoy this track: Caperucita Feroz (Big bad red riding hood, we told yah guise) :P

Green, supergreen

Charly García. En la Casa Rosada. Buenos Aires...

Charly García delivering lulz while he supports Chile Wikipedia (c)

In one of his best songs, Charly García assumed that he, when he was a child, "never was so smart" and also "played the piano like an animal".

That was a utterly lie. In fact he was the typical überkid able to found an off-key string of a guitar just hearing it. As a young man he became a rockstar and today he is a legend. No, srly.

He's not Bob Dylan because he's more musician than poet, this don't means that his songs lack of poetry, the point is that his music has a lot of humor. You surely note it seeing his mustache, one half is blonde and the another one is chesnut. One half of his being is awesome, the another one goes nuts.

One of my favorite songs is this one, Estoy verde y no me dejan salir (I'm green and they don't let me go out, supergreen anyone?). When a boy isn't mature enough to go out and have fun at Latin America he's green, like the green firewood that cannot burn well. This is the metaphor that Charly García alludes with this song.

His bands were Sui Generis in 1974; Porsuigieco, La Máquina de Hacer Pájaros, and his solo career began in1982. Estoy verde... is then his first hit.

I hope you like it. This is a classic.

No dejes que...

Caifanes was an original product of Mexico City, circa the 80's, but they're reach the top at the middles 90's.
This project, an avant-garde band similar to The Cure, found its way to an audience at 1987 after being underground heroes doing a cover from a cumbia hit named "La negra Tomasa", cool.
But they were actually a pretty good band, maybe the best band in Mexico at the earlies 90's. This is a sample of their greatness.
The worst part of this story is how they broke up: very badly. Just like Guns and Roses did it. Yep, bad like this. With this I saying that even with a little number of reunion shows and a new band spawned form Caifanes named Jaguares never was the same thing.
This track is "No dejes que" (Not let that...") and fit perfectly with this band and its issues.

CAIFANES- NO DEJES QUE
