Monte Negro

I’m a product of a bilingual home where I didn’t learn English until I was seven, and that was only because I watched a shit ton of Silverhawks and He-Man. There’s a lot of us out there. Monte Negro plays music like I think, in English and Spanish. When I look at words, sometimes I pronounce them as if they were in Spanish, not thinking they’re plain English. Monte Negro is from Califas and their roots stem from Soda Stereo (I’m still waiting for those guys to play somewhere besides Los Angeles) and the Clash. Their new album Cicatrix is available today and you can purchase it here. They will also embark on a tour as of manana. Apuntate!
