A few weeks ago, a few folks on the Zune team made a trip out to NYC for the Latin Alternative Music Conference. LAMC, as I had noted in my last post, LAMC is the only major conference geared toward Spanish-language alternative music, now in its ninth year. As top-level sponsor, Zune put on a few different shows, including the Celebrate Brooklyn show, featuring Brazilian Girls, Chicha Libre, Ticklah:
And Zune presented the Pepsi Blue Carpet Bash, featuring Tony Touch, Raul Campos (KCRW), Toy Selectah, DJ Zuzuku (a.k.a Blanquito Man) & Candice Cannabis, DJ Bitman vs. DJ Raff. We had a line halfway around the block to get in!
Zune also put on a booth at the show floor, educating show attendees about Zune, Zune Social, and Zune Marketplace.
The panel I participated in: BLOGUEANDO: How Latino-oriented and indie music blogs and bloggers are helping artists connect with new audiences and brands was a lot of fun! We talked about music, how to get started as a blogger, and what resonates with bloggers talking about Latin culture and music.
And lastly, I sat down with July Igntion artist Ximena Sariñana for a quick interview about technology and her involvement with Zune. Check it:
