Electro-cumbia-hop, plena-reggae, mambo-ghettotech -- just some of the hybrid grooves and genre-bending experimentations on display at the 2009 Latin Alternative Music Conference in New York City. The LAMC, now in its 10th year, has long been a showcase for cutting edge bands from Bogota to Buenos Aires, and this year is no different. Join the Afropop team width in-depth coverage of the festival, as we sample the hipper-than-thou sounds of a new generation of cosmopolitan, transnational Latino and Latin American artists. Music and interviews from dreamy Meixcan chantruse Natalia Lafourcade, Colombian scenesters Monareta, Cypress Hill's Eric Bobo, and a special visit from Nacional Records founder and president, Tomas Cookman. Plus, we'll sit down with Bomba Estereo, the psychodelic afro-danceparty sensation from Colombia.
