I’m an independent artist, need some opinions?
Hi there, I’m an independent artist, i started working with music about a year ago, I’ve progressed and made my work better, but the problem is, I dunno if i have progressed enough to get my music out into the world. I would appreciate it if some of you would take a listen to some of my work and tell me what you think. Thank you! =] http://unsigned.com/joshgrate
"Let Go" sounds like little more than practicing chord progressions repeatedly, and "Summer Song" offers little more.
It reminds me of the background music that no one heeds in some romantic movie.
Systema Solar – “Bienvenidos” – SXSW 2010 Showcasing Artist
Systema Solar is a musical-visual collective from the Caribbean coast of Colombia.
It ‘s members, originating from a diversity of territorial and sonorous latitudes have found in the afro Caribbean vibrations a sea of possibilities to renovate the strength and spirit of Colombian music. The objective of the collective is to create audio-visual performances with their own style which they denominate the berbenautika. Influenced by the spirit of the Colombian piko culture (sound systems style performances), the members of the group come together to create, adapt and reinvent different music through improvisation, emphasizing the cult of joy and dance. They recycle the afro Caribbean and folkloric music of Colombia such as cumbia, bullerengue, porro and champeta and fusion these through electronic tools with contemporary rhythms and cultural styles such as hip hop, house, techno, breakbeat, breakdance, turntablism and live video performance. Systema Solar was created at the end of 2006 for a performance at the opening ceremony of the biennial of contemporary art of Medellin MDE07, since then, the group has presented itself all over Colombia and released its first CD in 2009 titled Systema Solar.
Come and dance with us, Systema Solar!

Using Twitter to Promote Your Music
http://www.jambuzzer.com – After all of the months of hearing about how ‘good’ Twitter was for entrepreneurs and business, as well as just fun personal use, I decided to investigate and see if there is a way it can be used by up-and-coming independent music artists as a music promotion tool.
