Contest!! Win iTunes downloads!

VotoLatino is a nationwide initiative to encourage latino youth to register for the 2008 presidential elections in the US. VotoLatino was launched by Rosario Dawson and Maria Teresa Petersen and backed by a lot of celebrities like Fat Joe, Jennifer Lopez, Jessica Alba, ... You might have already seen the banner on the right, where you can buy a benefit album filled with exclusive tracks for just $3.99. The album has been #1 on iTunes Latino for a few months, and with reason: the compilation joins Pitbull, Don Omar, Aterciopelados, Los Amigos Invisibles, Ozomatli and many more. So if you're a US citizen and haven't registered to vote yet - the world needs you. Click the button below and register! Or support the cause and buy the album.

Check us out!


To encourage you all to register, VotoLatino has 3 exclusive iTunes download cards to give away, with five free songs each.

But there's more. The nice folks over at Nacional Records also have iTunes download cards to give away - DOZENS of them!
With their cards you can download 20 songs from the whole Nacional catalogue, which includes some of this year's finest releases: Plastilina Mosh's All U Need Is Mosh (review), Bostich and Fussible's Tijuana Sound Machine (review) and Manu Chao's La Radiolina (review).

So what do you have to do? Just send an e-mail to laondatropical@gmail.com, and put "Card Me!" in the subject. Be sure to include your mailing address, or we won't be able to send the card over!
Only one string attached: you need an account on the US iTunes Store, which requires a credit card and a US address.
The all but innocent hand of my lovely girlfriend will pick the winners on Thursday, September 25th, so your entries must be in by then.

¡Mucha suerte!

I'm voting for Obama.. .sorry, I just had to do that. The album looks really cool actually.

One of the guys at Club Fonograma wants to do a compilation of top 10lists of the best music of 2007, I know it is kinda late, but he asked to ask some bloggers I might now... can you send me your favorite albums of 2007? From latinos or en espanol, I remember reading the best of 2007, but it isn't ranked..

you can email it to me or him.

Actors Rosario Dawson and Wilmer Valderrama recently filmed a Public Service Announcement for the organization Voto Latino, which also co-starred entertainment blogger Perez Hilton.

Voto Latino, which is co-founded by Dawson, encourages Latinos not only to vote in the upcoming presidential election, but to get involved with the issues concerning the nation.
