Las de la intuición by Shakira

The past friday I just watched the musical video of "Las de la intuición" or "Pure intuition" by Shakira.

I have to admit neather I'm a pop fan nor a fan of Shakira, but this song (in the same way as "Moscas en la casa") has something that hooked me on :-P. I don't know, maybe there's a secret pop fan in my dark side, chuckle.

Here's the video, maybe the only element left in this video is the singular movement of her humps :-P (that's the Shakira's personal sign).

Enjoy it ;-)

Pure intuition




Las de la intuición

Porter

Hey, it's been more than a month that I don't write anything, I apologize for not updating this blog but I had personal appointments and issues.

On the other hand and about more interesting things, this post is to comment about Porter a mexican band from Guadalajara, Jalisco that is currently having a great grow in Mexico. They are considered as an Indie Rock band but as they say in their space their genre is: Undefined :-P, and this is because when you listen their songs you'll find several kind of sounds, silences and rythms so that they are not easy to be cataloged.

Porter are:

  • Giovanni Paolo Lechatelli (Drums)

  • Villor (Guitars, Piano)

  • Juan Son (Vocals)

  • F-Air (Guitars)

  • Bacter (Bass, synthetizer)



Up to date they only have one LP (Atemahawke) and one EP (Donde los ponys pastan). I bought the LP and it's a very good disc, they need more time to grow up as a band and be more mature with their sound and lyrics, despite this elements they have a very good sound and a good concept as an indie band.

Additionally and as many mexican bands are doing up to date they have songs in two languages English and Spanish, maybe two or three are in a combination of spanish and english (not spanglish at all)

These are two videos, listen them to know what I'm talking about when they say: Experimental (Specially with the first one where you can see that cats are able to sing with them in a good way :-P )

Host of a ghost - Atemahawke.



Daphne - Donde los ponys pastan.




They are having a very active year with too many concerts and presentations, even they have a tour date for USA (12 oct 2007, 8:00pm, Porter @ L.A. Ford Amphitheater, Los Angeles), and several tour dates in Mexico, if you have the oportunity to go to any of their concerts I really suggest you to go and enjoy it (this is a wise decision if you like indie music).


Let me know your comments about this band, they deserve an opportunity in this commercial music world.
