Bostitch+Fussible
Via INDSCENE
After recently rocking the main stage at Mexico's Vive Latino festival for tens of thousands of Mexican fans, Nortec Collective Presents: Bostich+ Fussible will bring their critically-acclaimed stage show to the sold-out Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, California on Saturday, April 11th and 18th.Things have come full circle for the duo, with their announcement that their latest album, 'Motel Baja', would be their last under the Nortec banner and Coachella performances flanking the early years of Nortec (they played the festival in 2001) and now closing out this chapter in their musical career.
Los Rakas
Bringing some international flavor to the stage is the dynamic duo made up of Ricardo Bethancourt and Abdull DomÃnguez, also known by their performing names Raka Rich and Raka Dun. A tag team hailing from Panama but now residing in the golden state of California, Los Rakas blends hip-hop, plena, reggae and dancehall music with Spanish and English lyrics. The two cousins work together bridging the urban culture of Panama and Oakland, creating a "Panabay" sound. Before their Coachella debut, they'll be touring with Zion I, Locksmith, and Vokab Kompany.
Chicano Batman
Another group hailing from the city of Angels, released their second album, Cycles of Existential Rhymein 2014. The band consists of four Mexican-American artists, Bardo Martinez (lead singer), Carlos Arvelo (rhythm guitar), Gabriel Villa (drums) and Eduardo Arena (bass). Their 70's sound is sure to get you dancing with their retro beats and soulful rhythms. If you can't catch them at Coachella, be sure to check out their packed schedule for other stops in their U.S. tour.
