The upcoming March 28th Psychosemitic Latin Mash-up from Latino-Jewish urban music collective Hip Hop Hoodios promises lots of booty-shaking and laughs alike. Comprised of bilingual musicians from Jewish/Latino backgrounds ("hoodio” is a twist on the word "judio" - Spanish for "Jew"), the members of Hip Hop Hoodios are linked by a common love for Latin alternative music, or rock and rap "en Espanol". But don't call these guys the Jewish answer to Tenacious D or the Latino respuesta to the Beastie Boys: Hip Hop Hoodíos are out to change the notions and preconceptions of Latin music entirely. Los Hoodios will be joined by two other like-minded acts that push the cross-genre envelope: LA’s Bayu expertly fuse world, Latin, Brazilian and funk elements, while Caramelize are four New Yorkers (two Chicanos and two African-American Jews) that perform songs of social justice, scorched love affairs, and abuelita’s recipe for the perfect flan.
