When it comes to Latin rock, I really enjoy Omar Rodriguez-Lopez'z 2011 best-of-self collection, Telesterion. You can stream it and a ton of his other albums here:http://omardigital.rodriguezlopezproductions.com/

Zechs Marquise,Omar's younger brothers' band, also has a 2011 album. Getting Paid. It's uneven, but worth checking out here:http://zechsmarquise.bandcamp.com "> http://zechsmarquise.bandcamp.com

"Latin but cool" is kind of an annoying title but maybe there's a story to it.
So old man decided not to stay out late last night for the Maracuyeah dj collective end of the year event with guest NYC global tech/alt Latino dj Geko Jones (Que Bajo?! Dutty Artz ) + hometown djs: Bent (anthology of booty/africa is not a country); Mafe (maracuyeah); rAt (maracuyeah/anthology of booty); K La Rock & Brian Senyo (work the walls) all spinning Cumbiasalvaje, tribal guarachero, salsatronic, ochenteros, merengue ripiado, dancehall, y mucho mas

that reminds me, they played that one so-so recent eric rincon single at one of the gay mexican + colombian spots in queens - the music is usually mostly mexican cumbia, i think this is the first time i've heard tribal out

not latin-rock but re: omar rodriguez lopez, at the drive-in at st. andrew's church, college park md in 1999 was a defining show for me. they were opening for the get up kids and all of the guk fans pressed up front to secure their spots - once atdi's set started and everone started spazzing most of the guk people couldn't deal, gave up the front row and went to go wait the set out.

Only in Brooklyn-- the Williamsburg Salsa Orchestra does salsa covers of TV on the Radio, Arcade Fire and other indie-rock acts

Not impressed with the vocals or percussion on the TVOTR cut but the horns are ok

I think the Celso Pina cumbia cd on the AARP Ernesto Lechner compiled list came out in 2010 (according to Amazon and 2009 according to Wiki)

Just discovered Andres Landero through my wife, who's been listening to him on YouTube for a couple of weeks. I've downloaded two compilations - one's just called 16 Canciones and the other Grandes Cumbias - and they're both awesome, with only one duplicate track between them. His accordion style is really raw, and the rhythm behind him is super-primitive too; it's like the cumbia equivalent of Delta blues, low tech and totally potent.

Sorry to ignore cumbia talk, but not feeling all that in the mood for rootsy-cumbia at the moment (and I still don't know a whole lot about it, though I'm happy when cumbia attracts new listeners, in general).

Mon Rivera skipping. You know, this has been released on CD at least a couple times. I know you love your vinyl and all, but maybe CD would be a better choice in this case.

He's actually playing some Latin Brothers (desde Colombia). Isn't that nice and ecumenical?

This list seems to lean too heavily on the fact that these albums sold a lot. Most of this stuff is not all that good, imo. The Guatemalan alternative thing looks intriguing, but I dunno.

Great band leader and great (truly top notch) singer.
― Occidental Rudipherous, Friday, 30 December 2011 01:53 (twelve years ago) link
Did Rodriguez continue to play percussion over the years while singing and as a bandleader, or did he hire others?
Those 2 Titos were certainly rivals.
