It’s perfectly fitting that before filming could begin on Los Wálters latest video, for “Porsche” off last year’s breezy “Verano Panorámico”, the band had to first procure one luxury car to use during the shoot – echoing the song’s chorus of “solicito un Porsche”.

To easily describe the sound achieved in their single “Años Atrás” (Years Ago), electronic dream-pop group Balún coined the term “dreambow”.

Raquel Berríos and Luis Alfredo Del Valle are the troublemaking couple behind Buscabulla’s debut EP, one of this year’s most celebrated records coming out of the Puerto Rican diaspora.

Calle 13 currently resides at the top of the Latin American music industry. The massively successful group is Puerto Rico’s best known — as well as most revered and divisive — export, having earned a whopping 19 career Latin Grammys with 9 addition nominations for this year’s “Multi Viral”, the band’s fifth record and first independent release.

After delivering two hard-hitting, often intense records as part of the experimental rock group Tachdé, Fernando Samalot has carved a niche all to himself inside Puerto Rico’s music scene with his brand of meditative, soul-searching songs.

fAi is the brainchild of Puerto Rican producer and composer Héctor “Stonetape” Hernández and singer Beatriz Faísca, who’ve concocted bubblegum pop music of the sweetest variety.

When local indie-pop heroes Superaquello called it quits back in 2011, singer Eduardo Alegría found inspiration in the scene’s younger generation of musicians and assembled what has become one of the island’s finest rock groups. Alegría Rampante’s “Un cuarto más pequeño” is a tender mid-tempo number that showcases Eduardo’s masterful singing and the melodic interplay between the rest of his players.
