Latin Acts for 2009

[Stainofmind]

Since no one has been mentioning the Latin Acts to play next year. I'll start it.

If there are a few bands I want to play it would be MANA (Mexico).

I would want for them to headline the main stage for one of the days because they are that big enough but since none of you guys would be open to that idea it be cool if they could be a sub-headliner.

Also I wouldn't mind having Julieta Venegas (Mexico) playing the fest again. She put on a good show in 07 that I got chills.

Juanes (Colombia)


Enanitos Verdes (I forgot where they are from)

Molotov (Mexico)

El Tri (Mexico)

[HunterGather]

Juanes would be amazing! He's totally coachella-worthy

[PassiveTheory]

Nortec Collective and Sidestepper.

[orbit]

all those bands fucking suck.

except molotov.

[orbit]

this would be my suggestion. traditional latin american sounds with electronic beats

novalima.

[PassiveTheory]

all those bands fucking suck.

except molotov.

WTF dude? You hate Nortec Collective?

[orbit]

i was talking about the first post.

[PassiveTheory]

Okay. That's cool.

[zenidogx]

mana? wouldn't happen. too mainstream. but i would watch them if i could. they're headliner material, but unfortunately not coachella headliner material.

Vicente Fernandez for stagecoach 09!

coachella gets a lot of mainstream bands and that doesnt mean they suck

mana sucks!!

[zenidogx]

too mainstream for a latin band is what i mean.
consider how much bigger they are (at least in socal) when compared to cafe tacuba. they sold out the staples center i think 4 days in a row.

damn 4 days. Knowing their fans, Majority wouldnt pay so much just to see one band. I'm assuming that most of them are just into spanish music the most.

right? that really would happen.

*yawns*

uh huh

did you catch Julieta Venegas performance?

El Tri put on a good ass show. Everyone gets into it.

[summerkid]

Mana fucking blows.

[theripped]

Gilberto Gil

[bigc1]

os mutantes

[gaypalmsprings]

Juanes sings a song for NASCAR. He's also at Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio May 14.

May I suggest a sing-off between Menudo & Jupiter's Ring.

[fiyahhh!]

Yes to Nortec Collective, no to Mana.

[Stainofmind]

Juanes sings a song for NASCAR.

I don't believe that. As Far as I know Latinos don't watch NASCAR. If they did I be talking hell of shit.

[mr powerful]

Insite...(de nada Daisy)

ZZZ, el tres z, ese naco de Mexicali

Calamaro to headline the Outdoor Stage on Friday or Saturday

[brando4n82]

Should we start threads for African American and Asian bands too?

[lubita77]

Central America's bands only or are South Americans bands alowed? If so, could name a few bands that maybe would do better than Bonde do Rolê.

Central America and South America are part of Latin America so yeah put down your suggestions.

yeah why not

[zenidogx]

right? that really would happen.

a joke of course. but chente live would be awesome anywhere. i've heard stories. 3 hours, getting drunk, and breaking shot glasses.



as for south american bands:
Kassin+2 and Seu Jorge again (i missed him in 06 for Editors, stand by my decision).

fuck stagecoach, chente for coachella.

beer sales would triple

[gaypalmsprings]

I don't believe that. As Far as I know Latinos don't watch NASCAR. If they did I be talking hell of shit.

Here's the results of last month's NASCAR race in Mexico City

i don't like the title of the thread, maybe "spanish language acts"


when i see "latin act" i think of someone like juan luis guerra or something.

coachella is more "rock en espanol" type acts.

and yeah mana would be HUGE, i doubt it though, considering when they tour they do a pretty grea job of selling out venues.

plus Mana = my mom wanting to coachella. i don't want to go to coachella with my mom


and juanes? he's the jack johnson of latin america, only not quite as sucky.

Molotov would be perfect for coachella. i kinda hoped they would have been booked for 08.

enanitos verdes, maldito vecendad, or even Los Illegales (although they maybe too punk for coachella)


EDIT: Pastilina Mosh would also be perfect, why i didn't think of them earlier?
