Here is the video of 40 Watt Hype performing "La Sombra" on Escandalo TV

In the life of an artist its a series of peaks and valleys.  Getting flown out to Miami FL to be on international TV and hang out for 4 days is a peak.  The program is a popolar show called Escandalo TV.  I would describe it as TMZ meets the view en Espanol.  We hit the airport and knocked back a few drinks before heading to Vegas then on to Florida.  We go in at night and had an important day ahead so we took it easy so no one would look too haggard on a 62"HD set.  The next day we got ready and headed to the station.  It would pour buckets of rain, then the sun would come out for 20 min, then the cycle would repeat.  80 degrees but very humid.  We arrived at Telefutura and got settled into the green room.  The producers prepped us about the segments and what the plan was.  We set up and got ready to go live....no pressure right?  The host Felipe introduced the band and off we went with "La Sombra".  We initially wanted to perform our new song "2 Bien Sabes" but there was too much English.  The performance went off well, then Felipe came over for the interview and that was that.  It was fun but live TV is pretty intense, i was just glad everything went off like it did.  We stuck around and took pictures and signed CDs for the staff and hosts.  For all those who watch the Spanish channel with the sound turned down because you don't understand the language but want to see the ladies......this show is for you.  It seems like every female in Miami is blessed this way. Then it was back to the hotel to change and time to celebrate.  We hit a Cuban restaurant to start it off.  Miami is a lot different than other places we've been.  Cubans speak a little different than the more Mexican Spanish I'm used to growing up in California.  And the food is different too.  More fried, more black beans, less salsa/tortillas.  It was good but I prefer platos Mexicanos.  Then we ended up at a Salsa club that was bumping the hits.  We set that thing off till 5am, thats when the closed it down.  The next day was driving around Miami checking out the different spots, lots of palm trees, yachts and people blasting reggaeton.  Couple places looked like a scene straight out of Scarface.  We took a dip in the Atlantic as a lightening storm was hitting, it was pretty surreal.  The water is warm and clear, very tropical.  Then we hit Southbeach.  I would describe it as a dose of LA, touch of Las Vegas and sprinkling of Hawaii in a Latin American country.  yeah we had a good time.  Check out the pictures on our myspace photos under Miami, and the performance on Escandalo TV in on youtube.....
