EL GÜERO Y SU BANDA CENTENARIO NOMINADOS AL GRAMMY® COMO MEJOR ÁLBUM BANDA

TAMBIÉN NOMINADOS COMO ‘GRUPO DURANGUENSE DEL MOMENTO’ EN LOS PREMIOS GALARDÓN A LOS GRANDES

El video musical de “Enamórate de Mi” se estrena hoy viernes en el programa Al Rojo Vivo de la cadena Telemundo.

(Los Ángeles, CA – viernes 3 de diciembre, 2010) El grupo radicado en San Antonio Texas, El Güero y Su Banda Centenario siguen cosechando éxitos y por segunda vez están nominados al GRAMMY como Mejor Álbum Banda por su disco Enamórate De Mi bajo el sello A.R.C Discos.

Sobre su nominación El Güero, líder de la agrupación expresó: “Es un honor recibir ésta nominación por segunda vez. Estoy muy agradecido con la academia por éste importante reconocimiento.

Enamórate De Mi es un disco lleno de energía y sentimiento sin perder el estilo y esencia que caracteriza a la agrupación. Fusionando a la perfección el Duranguense con Reggaeton, R & B y el Pop, éste álbum es sin duda alguna uno de los contendientes más fuertes a estos importantes premios, en los cuales también estuvo nominado en la edición pasada en la misma categoría.

De éste disco se desprende el más reciente sencillo promocional “Enamórate de mi”, un tema escrito por Rafael Guevara e Ismael Gallegos. Se engalana con la voz única de El Güero. Es un viaje musical versátil y emotivo, un mensaje que se extiende entre el verdadero amor y la esperanza, un tema que retrata la experiencia de un intérprete que se consolida como referente de la música popular mexicana y lo hace de una forma magistral.

Cabe mencionar, que El Güero y Su Banda Centenario también están postulados en la categoría Grupo Duranguense Del Momento en la próxima edición de los premios Galardón a Los Grandes, a realizarse en Houston, Texas el miércoles 8 de diciembre.

“Enamórate De Mi” ya está a la venta en todas las tiendas de discos y sitios de descargas digitales entre ellos iTunes.

Los Tigres del Norte in Austin, Nov 24, 2010

What’s ups boy and girls!  Quess what/ Latino Hit Street blog is going on it’s FOURTH YEAR on-air.  For those of you who are new to this blog, welcome…bienvenidos!  Right here it’s all things Latin music.  Coming out of Austin, Texas, it’s all we do and pass that passion along to you guys!

Here are some of what we are into right now…

DJ Dus Interview: SXSW 2010

ORIGINAL ARTICLE HERE SPINNER:

http://www.spinner.com/2010/03/10/sxsw-2010–dj-dus/

With a strong connection to the artists that have paved the way for DJ’s like himself, Dusty, aka DJ Dus, combines a respect that runs deep with his ancestral roots which run even deeper. Combining hip hop with Cumbia, DJ Dus brings a sound that not only reflects his culture, but holds appeal to the masses. Spinner spoke with DJ Dus about his music and his upcoming performance at SXSW.

Describe your sound in your own words.

Cumbia crunk – hip hop mashed up with cumbia. It has an underground sound. I take stuff from everywhere, stuff like Jamaican dancehall, old Colombian rhythms, all kinds of influences. Then I throw hip-hop into it and put it together into a DJ set.

How did your band form?

It pretty much fell into my lap. I started DJing when I was 12, back in 1992. I wanted to be a scratch DJ. Then I got into making beats, and now I’ve been producing for the past 15 years.

What are your musical influences?

I come from hip hop production, so of course I like DJ Shadow, J Dilla, people like that. Even guys like Will.I.Am and Rick Ruben, they’re all dope producers. Now that I’m doing the DJ thing, though, it’s a different sort of game. I’m the artist now, versus producing tracks to give to someone else to play.

How did you come up with your band name?

I was never the kind of guy to have a DJ name. People have been calling me Dus [short for Dusty] since I was a little kid, so I decided to go with that.

What’s in your festival survival kit?

My laptop and turntables, and sometimes I work off of a APC40 Ableton controller. I want to start incorporating that more into my set.

Who was your first celeb crush?

Definitely Billie Jean.

What’s your musical guilty pleasure?

All that goofy new electro. Those huge David Guerra-type tracks. If you don’t like ‘em, you’re a jerk.

What’s the craziest thing you’ve seen or experienced while on tour?

Nothing I’d want to put in an interview [laughs].

What’s been the most influential piece of advice you’ve received?

Learn beats. There are so many rhythms coming from Africa, Colombia, all over the place, and a lot of them have been around for hundreds of years. Traditional beats work for a reason. If you learn your beats and know how to put them together, people will respond to it.

If you were to create a meal inspired by your music, what would you be eating?

Cilantro and lime on spicy chicharrones, barbacoa, bacon and refried beans.

Emilio Navaira returns to the stage

Tejano music star Emilio Navaira returned to the stage for his first public performance in two years Saturday night, singing a duet with country music star Clay Walker at the Pearl Stable in the Pearl Brewery complex.In dark pants, a white shirt and his trademark cowboy hat, Navaira sang “It’s Not the End of the World” with Walker and his band. Navaira’s voice was strong, and he acknowledged cheers from the crowd of about 200.

He left the building immediately after the song and did not comment.

The surprise appearance came at the end of a 45-minute set by Walker, who sang for a fundraiser for the Miracle League of San Antonio, a nonprofit organization that runs a baseball league for children with disabilities.

Navaira suffered a lifethreatening brain injury when he crashed the tour bus he was driving from a Houston club date March 23, 2008, and was ejected through the windshield.

In October, Navaira’s son Emilio Navaira IV told the Express-News his father was singing at home.

“We have a little studio at the house. He goes in there on his own. It sounds great.”

According to the May 2009 article, Navaira was suffering from memory and motor skills problems, and he still wore headgear to protect an area where a piece of his skull had been removed.

“I know there will be a day when he will be back on that stage. He’d just rather wear a cowboy hat than a helmet,” his son said.
