Not sure if any of you jazzers understand spanish, so that's really a pity, I would really like you to watch this and give your opinion. Anyway, if you know anyone who understands spanish and likes jazz, do recommend them our "program"!

Cheers!

Hehe, you're right! Especially our spanish, argentinian, which is much less academic-like and has the "emotion" of italian.

Thanks for that.

Thanks!

We're still in a 'trial & error' phase, so it's not really perfect or anything near it, but it's going well. We're planning to interview a fusion guitarist from a local band for the next program, you can listen to their music here if you like:

Hablo Espanol de Espana y Mexico mas del Espanol de Argentina, asi yo no comprendi toda la programa, pero lo pude comprender la mayor parte. 

(edit: pues, la lengua es el mismo, pero el acento y velocidad son un poco dificil para mi. Solo soy un estudiante, despues de todo )

 Awesome! And thanks.

And yes, although it's the same language, it can be very hard to understand the speed and tone from the different Latin countries.

We've just released a sort-of "trailer" of upcoming interviews, anybody can watch it as if it were a videoclip of Herbie Hancock:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNqtUbZo7ow&context=C3da6587ADOEgsToPDskKu8Bz_fz2COg-UT4THbRcv" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNqtUbZo7ow&context=C3da6587ADOEgsToPDskKu8Bz_fz2COg-UT4THbRcv   

Thanks for watching, and if you know anybody that could be interested, please share!

Oh and btw, if you've got facebook:

The subtitles at the beginning in green mean: "This is a nice place, it's calm".

At 2:50 there's a cover version of Black Nile (Shorter) by a young Argentine jazz trio.

Glad you liked that!

Yeah, there's a funk/hiphop/jazz scene that is really blossoming right now in the area and it;s great that they're all guys between 21 and 28 years old.

That drummer especifically is a beast, in my opinion.

I don't remember if I already passed you this, but here's a link of one of the band's from the scene. I find the production to be rather coldish, while live the band is far more energetic, still sounds good to me.

And one more, if you're interested:

If it weren't for the singer, I don't know how much I would like the band. 

Here you'll see it more easily, you have to download track by track:

By the way, glad you both liked them.

Looks like a fun scene all around, the background of the video reminded me of California, I guess you are on the west coast on the other side of the equator.

I'm actually on the east coast, Atlantic Ocean. Although I do live near the river "Rio de la Plata" that divides Uruguay from Argentina. That's where the video was shot.

Looks like your weather is cooler than Florida, more moderate like California.

Haha, yeah, I don't know what's the highest temperature Florida reaches at summer, but here we get to 40ºC and more which is damn hot and head-aching.

By the way, I'm from Buenos Aires, so we're probabl the most humid province of the country. The north of the country is very dry and can reach over 50ºC, those guys are totally burned haha.

Right now it's spring and we're having days of 35ºC which are already damn bothering, especially for all those who live in the city, which temperature is even higher.
