I’m astonished; actually I had not been so excited about an upcoming CD release for a while. Three days ago I posted the video for “Quiero que me quieras” by Gael Garcia Bernal, which is part of the Rudo y Cursi movie soundtrack. Cheky from Jovenes y Sexys informed us that they are part of this soundtrack, I almost passed out reading the amazing lineup, it’s orgasmic. I’m not exaggerating; it’s like the soundtrack of this blog, or at least of a big chunk of our favorite performers of the year. And those we have not talked about are awesome too. It will be a 2-disc release, the CURSI disc will feature popular Mexican music from El Recodo, Los Tucanes de Tijuana, La Sonora Dinamita, Amandititita, El Coyote y su Banda and others. The really exciting part is the second disc titled RUDO, which should be as transcendental as the Grammy nominated soundtrack for Y Tu Mama Tambien, which was a huge success and skyrocketed many of the indie acts featured. Now check the list and get me in contact with the album’s supervisor, I need to hang out with him/them. Just when I was about to name the soundtrack for Capadocia (HBO) as the year’s best comes this big surprise that’s got me wound up.
