Londra has a nice flow. His label calls him a trap artist, but he is not a trap artist. That’s just a marketing label for after reggaeton, which was influenced by trap, Latin trap, and other urban musics. He is a fairly romantic urban singer who raps.
If you ever lived in Argentina, he will make you want to go back. Argentine Castellano is one of the beautiful Spanish accents. Its “sh-sh-sh” is so sultry.

These guys are influenced by King Crimson guitarist Adrian Belew, who produced their landmark album “El Silencio” (1992). That’s some crazy good rock.
Their name is derived from the phrase “cae fine,” a reference to the Mexican pachucos (zoot suiters) of the 1940s that roughly means “cool dude.” Love those suits. They are still cool. I used to dance tango in one. Cubans dance danzon in zoot suits.
The blending of European gothic and pre-Hispanic Mexican traditions is cool, although the two cultures see the darkness in opposite ways. Regardless of how they are perceived, pre-Hispanic Mexican traditions are not dark. In Aztec tradition, death is reality and life is just a dream. And the underworld is just where dead people live. It’s not the European hell. Death is part of life. That’s also why many Mexicans don’t fear death. It’s not an end. It’s just another phase of the eternal cycle of life.

The Palladium Time Square name is a reference to the Palladium Ballroom “the home of the mambo” where modern Latin dancing was born between 1947 and 1966.
Puerto Ricans of a certain age can tell you stories about dancing at the Palladium Ballroom when they were young. In fact Palladium style is one of today’s salsa on2 dance timings.
