Get your Guac on!!!!

Just a quick update. The new year is turning out to be a busy one for us. Locally, we got some upcoming shows & radio show appearances/interviews. The album is almost complete, and we hope to do an album release show unlike any other!!! I will be pressing up some more copies of our "Hors D'ouevres EP" to give away free, with a second installment also on the way. Also on deck, a small Canadian tour that hopefully ends with a show in Montreal. Please stay tuned for exclusive mixes, videos, recipes, and auspicious banter! Suave.

Great Guatemalan Cuisine!!!

What would you consider Guatemalan cuisine? I am glad you asked. But before moving on . . . a small preface.

Guatemala is a tiny country, yet it is at the crossroads of North America (including Mexico), Central and South America and the Caribbean Islands, so it receives a lot of influences. Furthermore, Guatemala is the heart and cradle of the Maya Civilization. The country has so many different micro-weather zones that ranges from the hot and humid tropical coasts to the very cold and cloud forest peaks. Therefore, the Guatemalan diet can be extremely varied.

I set this series off with my prior post on "Great Guatemalan Guac!!!" Here, I am going to list several dishes, which will be my homework for future food series, that are considered “real food” or cuisine. Pepián, pollo en jocón, hilachas, mole, piloyada antigüeña, shepes, tamalitos de loroco y cambray, yuca y chicharrón, quesadillas, gallina en crema, frijoles blancos con espinazo, frijoles colorados con costilla, subanik de olla, pulique de costilla, jocón, tapado, tayuyos, siquinché, kasabe, rice and beans, ceviche, carne en amarillo, mariscada, revolcado, tiras de panza and kaq’ ik’, just to mention some of them. It is obvious that I will have to do several series of these "Great Guatemalan Cuisine" blogs. Until then . . . stay fresco & bon apetit!!!

Our tracks on DTR 45's Rebel Radio 4 & 5!!!

Sooooo . . . the Rebel Radio Community Jam was extremely tight this year. The heads of state (Tone X & Edreys), along with a gang of others, really did a great job of promoting the event & collecting donations. Definately was glad to be a part of this, as i am for every fundraiser or cause we've ever been involved with. Since i'm not the writer that my counterpart Cav Johnson is . . . a brief list of highlights:

1. Edreys bringing back "Like Smack" in his set

2. reconnecting with some old school soccer cats who are now involved thoroughly in the NYC hip hop scene, DJ Kevlar & Rabbi D.

3. finally meeting ES, Solar-C, & M-Dot after mad texts & myspace messages

4. getting drunk before our set and kicking around mic stands like i owned the place lol!!! (please see our show footage on our myspace and/or facebook page)
