Melomanos y Coleccionistas Salseros

Some weeks ago we got a bulletin from Spam All Stars about the First Reunion of Salsa Music Colectors in Florida. Music from 65 and 75, Conjunto Universal performing live (we never heard this band before, but they throw a great set of classic salsa hits), Izzie Sanabria aka "Mr. Salsa" and Andy Harlow among the special guests. So, we decided to go and salsabadear for a while.

La Family Dub is a "Familia" integrated by music selectors, musicians, activists, producers, rebels, photographers, filmmakers, designers and more cabrones. LFD was born some years ago in the heart of Mexico City. Friends sharing their music collections turned into partied, which turned into requests to throw parties. The vibe was a new sound in Mexico City, mixing everything from Dancehall to Cumbia.

While LFD is a collective of artists with a love for music it takes its roots in being a “Familia” that has grown and can be found in Mexico City, Guadalajara and Miami. This diversity of local, means that LFD might be throwing simultaneous events at anytime. Additionally, LFD resides in a vein of visual anthropology that can be found in current projects such as, documentaries, art shows, and magazines. LFD has performed in Mexico, Japan, Brazil and collaborate with great acts, such as Nortec Collective, Sidestepper, King Chango, DJ Afro, Six Degree Records & more.

RESPECT!
