Antonio Carmona keeps Latin alterna-pop strong (one of his songs is this weeks free song at iTunes Latino)

While mainstream Latin pop has enjoyed a resurgence of late, particularly through a flurry of Mexican acts such as RBD and Camila, and urban Latino remains strong (Wisin and Yandel, Angel and Khris are still high on the charts), the middle ground of Latin alterna-pop is still flourishing. Making music that appeals to a young adult audience, artists that began their careers as experimenters are creating lush new hybrids that modernize traditional music while updating pop conventions.

Antonio Carmona is best known as the lead singer of one of Spain’s original fusion flamenco groups, Ketama. That group was enormously successful in making salsa and flamenco compatible, with Carmona’s soulful vocals easily flowing with Afro-Caribbean rhythms. His new album, “Vengo Venenoso” (Surco-Universal) is neither a flamenco nor a flamenco-fusion album, but it retains the intoxicating qualities of Carmona’s voice.”*
