Madame Ur y sus Hombres ...transmitted on 09.04.12




"Miedo de mi Grandiosidad
Miedo de mi Tranquilidad
Miedo de mi Poder y mi Amabilidad"

Madame Ur Y Sus Hombres it's musical group from Tijuana, but their sound is cosmopolitan, the sound flies to all musical genres that are "cool," from Jazz to Cabaret, from Rock to Trip Hop and in between this trip, you can find several flavors of various musical styles, that makes the listener a passenger of this sonic vessel driven by Azzul Monraz, Toto Zuñiga and Joel Castillo. 

I had a chance to interview Azzul and she the most simple and down to earth woman I know, nothing like her alter ego Madame Ur, a sultry temptress that loves to chew man for breakfast and spit them out as used bubble gum, and her voice; her voice is a drug that let's you dive into a beautiful world that transport you to a different time. Hope you like this show as much as I and please look for them at this link http://madameur.com/, I know you'll thank me later. And the playlist is...

Llena
Mr. Garcia

Venada
Tengo Miedo

Happy Birthday Joe Strummer ...transmitted on 08.21.12


"Well it's a rockin' world, make no mistake about 
It's a shockin' world, 
that could be what's so great about 
A It's a rockin' world, 
there ain't nothing fake about it"

Well there are few people of the caliber of JOE STRUMMER, he was the leader of the Band that Matter, The Clash, here he change the way people looked at music, not only as a sign to rebel but also to think, smart lyrics and guts on every note sang, I consider myself a Fan of the truth and sincerity of his words, the Band call it quits on 1986, but he continue his musical career with bands such as The 101ersLatino Rockabilly WarThe Mescaleros and The Pogues. But on December 22nd, his life come to a stop due to victim of an undiagnosed congenital heart defect. But this didn't stop the legacy left by him. That's why I want to take this show and celebrate the Life of John Graham Mellor. And the playlist is...
