Latin Music Month Finale Radio Edition

This weekend is the end of Latin Music Month here in Austin, Texas. There has been an abundance of Latin music, activites and shows throughout the city. The last BIG event for the month though is the Pachanga Music Festival. You'll have 19 Bands and 3 stages plus children's activites, a fun time for every member of the family.

Rock y Roll Radio will spend the entire day at the festival and take in as many bands as possible. In our month of May playlists, we tried to include as many of the bands playing the festival and during Latin Music Month. We hope the playlists gave you an idea of the abundant local talent and the talented artist that come to Austin.

Rock y Roll Radio will take some time off for the next two weeks inorder to do some work on the website and just take a breather after a very busy month. We'll be back on June 13th with a new playlist and other features. We appreciate you taking the time to visit the site and for listening to the music.


This weeks radio edition starts with "El Matador" by Los Fabulosos Cadillacs. "El Matador" is always a favorite and gets the blood pumping.

The "Wild Card" is "Wanna Love You" by Akon and Tego Calderon. Someting a little out of the ordinary but with the Tego influence.

Also included in the playlist are two songs by Pinata Protest, "Puro Pedo Punk Rock" from San Antonio, Texas. They're a local favorite that is energetic, physical and unique in sound. Pinata Protest played for the recent Remezcla.com En Tu Cuidad Tour in March. On a side note, the lead singer, Alvaro Salas can be seen in the Girl In A Coma video, "The Cell."

May was a busy month and now the Summer season is here! Let's Pachanga!
