After debuting in the #1 position of the U.S. Latin Alternative & Rock in iTunes chart and as #2 on the general chart of Mexico, “Voluma,” the second and anticipated soloist album of León Larregui begins to show signs of becoming one of the most acclaimed albums this year. The album’s first single, “Locos”, which also debuted at #1 on iTunes a few weeks ago, was placed on the top of the national Latino Monitor radio charts. The song’s video, which was directed by León Larregui himself, was launched with great success on Vevo and Youtube, totaling up to more than 6.5 million views in just a few weeks.
One of the masterminds behind Brazilian band Los Hermanos and founding member of the samba supergroup Orquestra Imperial, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Rodrigo Amarante is an inescapable musical figure in his native South American home. Breaking out of the Brazilian market in 2008, alongside friends Fabrizio Moretti and Binki Shapiro, Amarante formed the group Little Joy and the trio released their self titled debut album which gained critical acclaim in the US and worldwide.
