GuacaMusic: Latente

posted in: Features • Latin

Do you tend to judge people by their appearance? Ever fell for someone because of how she/he looked?

If so, we have the perfect song for you. Play Corazón de Plastico by Colombian band Latente and you will know what we mean. Punk and alternative rock fans are sure to think of Latente as an amazing discovery on OurStage.

Originally from Medellin, Colombia, the guys from Latente got together in 2005 to pursue their dream. Six years later, Latente has one CD and an EP called L.A Rock

So what is it about this band that we love so much? There is no simple answer. We could say that we really dig the way they do punk, but then we also love the originality of their lyrics and the playfulness of their titles. Overall, we think Latente is a combination of good music, and hard-to-resist lyrical themes.

Besides Corazón de Plastico we also recommend the song Baboso which means something like slimy and talks about someone who acts silly as a way to draw attention. If you are about to have a birthday, we suggest you listen to Un Cumpleaños Más, a song about being in denial when turning a year older.

If you like these songs, then you will be happy to hear that Latente is getting amazing reviews from fans on OurStage and beyond. Corazón de Plastico was recently amont the Top 40 entries in its channel and their other songs are climbing up the charts big time.

Visit Latente’s OurStage profile and see for yourself why appearances do matter, especially when they look as good as these guys. Enjoy this playlist. ¡Provecho!
