Multiple Grammy® Award Winning Band Bacilos, to release long awaited album entitled SINVERGÜENZA, on September 28

Miami, FL (PRWEB) September 30, 2004

Warner Music Latina has announced the release on September 28th of SinVergüenza, the long awaited album by multiple Grammy® Award winning band BACILOS. SinVergüenza was produced by world-renowned Juan Vicente Zambrano (Celia Cruz, Ricky Martin, J-Lo) and the late Tom Capone (Maria Rita, Skank) and recorded in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and Miami, Florida. The new production is the follow-up to the mega-hit and last year’s Grammy® Award winning Best Latin Pop album Caraluna,

SinVergüenza is a fusion of genres which is most represented in BACILOS’ own members: Colombian born singer/songwriter and guitarist Jorge Villamizar, Brazilian bassist Andre Lopes and Puerto Rican percussionist and drummer José Javier (J J) Freire, together the band brings forth their own ethnicity by creating a mélange of pop, samba, tropical, alt-rock, reggae, among others and thus infusing a peculiar and very own sound.

The first promotional single “Pasos de Gigante”, was released last month and has quickly become embraced by fans and radio stations across the U.S. and Latin America “Pasos de Gigante”, written by BACILOS’ own Jorge Villamizar, is a simple love story that starts with a rhythm reminiscent of footsteps (“pasos”) and erupts into an up-tempo celebration of Colombian sounds with Haitian flavor.

SinVergüenza promises to be a more stronger and ambitious album than the group’s previous ones. “We have become very aware of our own environment,” says Villamizar. “Our songs are more intense and socially conscious, without leaving behind a higher dosage of romanticism.” The intensity, he says, comes from “being more self-confident and secure in what we are doing.”

BACILOS, who just came back from a trip to Kenya, where they filmed a TV special for Animal Planet, will be on a promotional tour, visiting Puerto Rico, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, and Chile in October; and launches their US Concert Tour in November. Dates will be forthcoming.

The video for “Pasos de Gigante” will be film in Puerto Rico shortly, and is to be directed by Carlos Perez

New Diplomat to Host "Buy Yourself Some Freedom" Album Release Party Sept. 25 in San Francisco

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) September 20, 2011

New Diplomat, a San Francisco alternative band formed serendipitously from musicians who came to California from diverse countries in Europe and South America, has just completed their first album, which will make its debut next week at a live performance in downtown San Francisco.

Buy Yourself Some Freedom is a 6-song compilation that lead singer Horacio O’Brien-Ferres says is the bonding of two parallel universes.

The first universe delivers a rock-inspired foundation layered with hints of danceable Euro guitar riffs and electronic synthesizers, driven by frenetic drum beats with solid but melodic bass lines. The other is the lyrical world, which delivers very personal and poignant references to the band members experiences.

The juxtaposed lyrical layer, which contains highly emotional references to our lives, stands up to the high beats per minute that define the rhythmic foundation of most of our songs, said O’brien-Ferres.

The songs explore our pasts, living and growing up on different parts of the planet, the stories of our lives, the tales we’ve heard, the lovers and friends we’ve left behind or made up in our minds, and the battles we have fought and that we are still fighting inside and out. We consider ourselves highly charged, modern troubadours.

Lead Singer Horacio O’Brien-Ferres came to San Francisco from Uruguay, Guitar player Paolo Giordano is from Italy, bass player Laurent Reber is from France, keyboardist Gio Gotti is from Argentina, and drummer Jef Pauly is originally from Belgium.

New Diplomat is currently producing a music video for one of the songs from the album: Once We Were Hooligans. The nautical-themed video is the story of a break-up, adventure and reconciliation. The images contain flashbacks of the discarded relationship, and these memories bring the couple back together in the end.

The surreal album cover by musician and artist David Delander, aka Strangehalos, features the mirrored image of a neglected building suspended in a fractured, watercolor sky over an expanse of tall, golden grass. Delander says his focus is to ensure that the music and the cover art work together hand-in hand, so that the audience can enjoy them as one.

“To me the album cover is more than just a cover illustration; it could be at home hanging in a room as part of a living space, said Delander. I approached this project in the same way I approach painting. I drew from both nature and urban architecture, and added a surrealist feel by using high contrast color schemes and making the imaginary world seem real and palpable.

The Buy Yourself Some Freedom Release Party is set for Sunday, September 25th at Vessel nightclub, located at 85 Campton Place one-half block from Union Square. The doors open at 8:30, and the performance starts sharply at 9:30 pm. Admission is $ 10, and bundles that include admission and the CD are available for $ 15. Traditionally a San Francisco electronic music venue, this event is Vessels first time hosting a live music launch.
