The Avengers killed at the box office this past weekend - and is really, really awesome - but it's a team of white dudes. (One of them is sometimes green.) In other words; where are the Latin superheroes? Well, we at Remezcla have compiled a list of superheroes who do in fact, look like us.
In this interview, guitarist Leo Mintek of New York's future rock quintet Outernational had plenty to say about imperialism, capitalism, immigrants rights, and revolution in this exclusive interview.
Coming from a Middle Eastern Jewish family who fled religious persecution, Nuriyá brings to light the rich, folkloric traditions from her ancestors.

Richmond, VA may not be the typical place that comes to mind when you think of an internationally acclaimed Salsa band, but Bio Ritmo is far from typical. The 10-member band was formed 20 years ago this September originally as a percussion ensemble brought together by two misplaced Puerto Ricans who met at art school combined with a local punk rock drummer. They have evolved over the years and become known as one of the most groundbreaking salsa bands of the last decade. Their sound is dubbed “post-salsa” and their style considered “old-school” or “alt-Latin,” but essentially Bio Ritmo is known for being themselves, writing and producing all original music with the mind set of a rock-n-roll band who happens to play “in clave.”
Check out this group as they celebrate last month’s release of their album, La Verdad, joined by none other than Remezcla favorites, The Williamsburg Salsa Orchestra. If you’re a Remezcla reader and don’t know the WSO, then you haven’t been paying attention.
