Latin Alternative Music Conference- Day 4

On Saturday, the Latin Alternative Music Conference wrapped up with a concert at Summerstage in Central Park by Ocote Soul Sounds, the Pinkertones, and Maldita Vecindad. Rain was threatening, but Daliz and I decided to go anyway and we were rewarded with a rain free afternoon of great music. Ocote Soul Sounds opened the concert with their laid back version of cumbia. Then, the Pinkertones came on stage and played some songs from their new album with a full band, adding some rock guitar and keyboards to their electronic compositions. Finally, Maldita Vecindad y los Hijos del Quinto Patio came on stage in zoot suits and the crowd went wild. A giant mosh pit formed and we hightailed it to the safer margins of the audience. The crowd surfing, the jumping, the excitement did not let up for the entire show. Maldita Vecindad played "Pachuco" and "Lo Pasado, Pasado," their version of Jose Jose's song (a personal favorite). They played "Fut Callejero" to remedy World Cup fever and they made a statement against Arizona's law. They generally rocked the house. Here are some photos.
