Systema Solar are among the latest of the bad ass Colombian bands tirando fuego from their homeland. This musical spitfire is the combination of a whole bunch of genres including cumbia, hip-hop, bullenrengue, champeta, house, techno among others (apparently) which they’ve dubbed “berbenautika”. Adding Afro-Colombian vibes by way of Colombia’s Caribbean coast, you get a [...]
If you read Boomboomchik a bit, you know I’m partial to some funk/soul type ish. So when my friend sent me The Dap Kings and Prince of Ballard remix of Jay-Z‘s song “99 problems” I could only smile like crazy. With that smooth funk in the background, Jay-Z’s rap-rhythm comes to the foreground. Let’s forget [...]
Upon listening to Blitz the Ambassador‘s album, Stereotype, you can almost swear you are listening to a modern rendition of Phil Spector’s “Wall of Sound” method. You are hit with live instruments including a brass section (!); certainly, there are emcees out there that utilize musicians in their albums, but something needs to be said [...]
I’m Mishal, hear me roar! After listening to Mishal Moore’s opening set at Zee Avi’s show last weekend, I needed to know more about the woman behind the song “Makeup Sex”. Who is she, why does she play the guitar like a bass, where can I find more about this artist with such amazing breath [...]

Hooooowdy Ho, So what a crazy hot week it has been in NYC. The mercury never dips below 85 and I have heard it is only gonna get worse as the weekend comes along. Luckily some guy invented the air conditioner and saved humanity, maybe not the power grids, but at least I’m not sweating [...]
Thailan When is one of those musical finds that are akin to quantum mechanics – artists and music that are like atoms spontaneously coming in and out of existence. She may not release a record once every two years but her music always sounds timeless, as if it were recorded just yesterday off of a [...]
Boy is it hot in NYC. When you add that humidity into the equation it is unbearable. And what sucks even more is that you have to walk everywhere (unless your loaded and take taxis). On a happier note, summer is never a bad time to enjoy some tunes that get your booty moving. So, [...]
The amazing Mexican singer-songwriter Ely Guerra is BACK after a six year hiatus with a new album called Hombre Invisible (“Invisible Man”). I had NO idea she even released a single called “Colmena” (above) in December let alone released an album last week which is available on iTunes. Peep this, peeps. Peace, Radio Morillo
