VL12 is not the latest or newly discovered  vitamin to improve your health neither an ointment to make your facial hair go away. VL12 stands for VIVE LATINO 2012, a musical festival event happening once again this year in Mexico City.  I’ll give you some background just in case you have been living under a rock for the past 12 years or so, you never know! I heard some extreme cases of sedentary individuals or plain anti-socials. OK, so el VIVE is to Mexico and Latin America what Coachella would be to us.  A one weekend grand spectacle of music, arts and a lot of youth running around half naked.  It’s first edition was done back in 1998 with performances by Ángeles del Infierno, Illia Kuryaki, Kenny y los Eléctricos, Aterciopelados among others.  It has also been an opportunity for upcoming bands to take center stage and get out of obscurity.  This year’s line up is as follow… (too many, artist for me to singly mention, so I went ahead and copied and pasted the back side of their promotional flyer, hoping you would mind my laziness. THANK YOU!)

So, there you have it! If you get a chance to go to VL2012 this year, please take us with you, or at the very least recommend us the best of what you see and hear. We at Audio Elemental are always looking for new music to be added to our regular programming and your suggestions are always welcome!
