Everyone’s favorite Chilean pop hero, Gepe, releases a new album this coming Friday called Ciencia Exacta. He put out a single last week called “Hablar De Ti” which Billboard premiered and and was just as excited as we are about this one. 
 Silver Rose (aka Carla Sariñana, aka co-founder and bassist in the acclaimed Mexican rock band Ruido Rosa who ALSO plays at the fest) recently released her debut EP that received accolades for its dreamy, Mazzy-Star like qualities. She premiered a video for the song Noches just the other day via KCRW  and if the video is any indication of what her show will be like, well, we can’t wait.
Camilo Séptimo just release a new, daydreamy video (about soulmates– get ready to cry) for the song Fusión from their debut LP.
We also have word that the notorious folk-rocker Adan Jodorowsky is in the studio preparing a new album, and we’re pretty sure he’ll be debuting some new things at the festival.
Happy listening!
