DESCRIPTION:Direct from the South by Southwest (SXSW)\nCheck out Bituaya on his short 
 U.S short tour in Austin, SF and NY.\nDJ AGANA: another Venezuelan Bay Area 
 resident will set the scene for Bituaya spinning, Salsa, Reggae, and 
 Hip-Hop.\nAdmission: $5\n\n...\nBituaya is a result of the socio-political 
 and cultural merges experienced by Venezuela today. All the rhythms of the 
 Afrocaribbean come together to embody the urbanity of Caracan hip-hop, 
 mixed with electronica elements. The verses speak of the beliefs, dreams, 
 learnings, flavors, loves, and pains that are found in every major Latin 
 American city, and intrinsic to Caracas. Having a nexus with Revolutionary 
 Latin America, the world-wide Hip-Hop phenomena, and Venezuela's own 
 Afro-caribbean influences, Bituaya's music is a completely unique 
 experience. Morphing out of a group known in Venezuela, Sontizon, Bituaya 
 has already made head-way with their first recordings, performing with 
 groups internationally known, such as Calle 13 and Los Van Van. Currently, 
 Bituaya is promoting their first album, Yerbamora, domestically, and is 
 touring the Venezuelan cities of Caracas, Barquisimeto, Maracaibo, San 
 Felipe, San Casimiro, Merida, San Cristobal y 
 Maracay.\n\nInstrumentation\nPiki Figueroa - Vocals\nAquiles Rengifo - 
 Vocals, Music Producer, Acoustic Guitars\nErnesto Figueroa -

 tracks:\n\nYerbamora: this electrocumbia was made to be danced to, while

 http://soundcloud.com/bituaya/9-yerbamora\n\nLionza: from the genre coined 
 as "electrocaribe" or electric caribbean, this song shares about Maria 
 Lionza, a Saint in Venezuelan folklore, who is believed to perform 
 miracles. http://soundcloud.com/bituaya/3-lionza-1\n\nBruta Cultura: made 
 in the style of a Cuban son, this song features Mayito Rivera of the world 
 renown Los Van Van. http://soundcloud.com/bituaya/7-bruta-cultura\n\nAmor 
 en Cana: this bolero tells a story of love and longing from the inside of a 
 Venezuelan 
 prison.\nhttp://soundcloud.com/bituaya/10-amor-encana-acustica-1\n\nAqueda: 
 an electrocaribe, again featuring Mayito Rivera de los Van Van, speaking
