If You Don't Know, Now You Know: Rita Indiana Y Los Misterios



Oh hell no! Don't tell me you haven't heard of Rita Indiana. The Dominican sensation built a strong following thanks to her afro-electro-punk-latin fusion sound and her charisma, which transpires most in her Live performances (you have to see one of her show to understand the euphoria she generates). Her "fuck you" attitude didn't hurt either. Well Ms. Rita Indiana just released her first album 'El Juidero' (The Fight) with her tight band Los Misterios. The brand-new video for… Continue
