Sounds, dance and blood into its vein. Ricky Martin and Shakira ain´t the unique music coming from Latinamerica. There´s an alternative, vanguardist and outstanding sound apart of "commercial pop-dance- salsa", as a result of the mixture between the latin lounge rythms and rocky guitars energy surrounded with stickier pop melodies. So the foreign rock- punk and modern electronic machines influences are taking shapes to the fresh-contemporary sound of remarkables latin B-sides music creators.

Here are today's top 5 albums from Latin artists

Los Amigos Invisibles "The Venezuelan Zinga Son, Vol. 1"(Venezuela): These spaniglish venezuelan "conga six amigos" band are Talking Head's David Byrne godchildrens. Fusionating latins-funky-dance percussions and guitar harmonies groovy and street parties vibes and chilling lounge rythm with sexy beats. A great album to listen once you´re "in the mood".

Andrea Echeverri "Andrea Echeverri" (Colombia):Aterciopelados's lead singer has suffered drastic changes within her life the latest years; first, became a mom; second, became a solo artist.
