Tu Ciudad Magazine’s Music Issue Rocks Los Angeles

“The August/September issue of Tu Ciudad Magazine, the English-language guide to Latino L.A., debuts its music issue on newsstands today. The 20-page music showcase delves into the world of L.A.’s local Latin music scene featuring articles and profiles on trendsetters and tastemakers including Academy-Award winning producer Gustavo Santaolalla, local guitar hero Dave Navarro, and electronica-alternative rock favorites, Kinky.

The Music Issue covers artists, producers, and talent inspired by the hypnotic, rhythmic, and eclectic sounds of rock, rap, ranchera, ska, Norteño, Mexican corridos, soul, acid jazz, and R&B. Read about Gustavo Santaolalla, the man behind the Oscar-winning movie score of Ang Lee’s Brokeback Mountain. He has also worked with some of the world’s top pop and Spanish-language stars such as Nelly Furtado, Julieta Venegas, and Juanes. Commenting on rock en español, one of the most popular Latin music genres, Santaolalla states, “We’re in a transitional period right now. But it’s always been like this: things get a little quiet and then, boom – there’s a whole new generation of artists doing new things.” “
