Here’s what you’ve all been waiting for! The Spanish-French world musician Manu Chao announces the highly anticipated 2011 La Ventura USA tour!

Miami gets ready to receive the bombastic, never ending, addicting music of Manu Chao! On September 9th, Bayfront Park in Downtown Miami we will jump, dance, and jam to Manu’s “La Ventura” tour.

Globally revered for his multicultural performances from punk rock to Latin-folklore, and his super spec-tacular multilingual pop tracks, this singer-songwriter is notorious for playing for revolutionaries, strumming that guitar in protests, packing millions in arenas, and uniting all classes for the one commonality we all share: the love of Manu Chao music!

He began his career as part of the band Mano Negra, which enjoyed much international success. The band later became Radio Bemba Sound System and evolved to have a more organic “street” sound. Though still backed by a wide range of talents, Manu Chao’s work with Radio Bemba catapulted him to solo stardom. Despite international acclaim, Manu Chao has yet to really get a hold on English-speaking audiences and rarely performs in countries like the U.S.

As of latest, the bohemian superstar released Baion-arena in 2009 – the live recorded CD/DVD packed with video tour diaries and photo exclusives.After ending his Balkan tour, Chao sets to embark on another aventura: La Ventura. Starting in Boston, late August, he’ll then pave way to Philadelphia, and two nights in New York City. Following, Chao will make a premier in cities such as Charlotte, Miami, and Atlanta. Then from Chicago,

Manu Chao will co-headline to end the La Ventura tour with legendary acts like Steve Wonder as well as Arcade Fire and Coldplay at the Austin City Limits Festival, mid September, 2011.

As hardcore Chao devotees, we eagerly wait for his return. For all you who share similar sentiments, below are the La Ventura tour dates, so book your tickets and see you all soon!

Most digital images still start out from traditional media. In fact, traditional photography was the one who gave birth to digital photography. Therefore, the two are parallel to each other. Aside from inheriting the features of traditional photography, digital photography only im-proved the ability to produce the exact desired image.

The argument that comes out from the debate between digital and traditional photography is that the produced image in traditional photography is the most accurate and realistic image that one can have. Traditional photographs don’t lie because unlike in digital photography, it can never be changed or manipulated. In digital photography, images can be altered according to the photographer’s context in different ways easily and more artistically.

A possible problem with digital photographs is their quality because they fade rather quickly. Though improvements are being done, few digital images will have the longevity of traditional photographs. A counter-argument, however, is that digital photos can be easily reproduced when necessary but it’s only for a short-term basis. Once needed, there is no assurance that comput-ers will be able to access them for future use.

Another rarely explored issue is the immediacy of digital photography. Immediate results are sometimes not much productive. Your worst photos wouldn’t be so bad, but your best images wouldn’t be much bet-ter. While immediate results might be beneficial to a commercial photographer, in most cases, it becomes a distraction from photography. Digital photography offers more options for creativity. To consider it as more ef-ficient, faster and cheaper is another issue. Traditional

photography, on the other hand, is still an easy and con-venient way to make and store high-resolution images. Generally, traditional photographs still contain a lot of image information. However, this is the most important consideration - photography will become more creative and effective if the end product is of the best quality.

Digital and traditional photography are complimen-tary arts. They have their respective places in the lives of amateur and professional photographers. The acquired skills in doing traditional photography will definitely be passed on to the digital world. The ability to modify an image to enhance it is absolutely a plus. However, digital photography could also be very time consuming, espe-cially when we consider the many possibilities of digital manipulation. More so, there is an air of intrigue that still surrounds us in going to the darkroom to produce the print that you envisioned in your mind.

The immediacy of digital photography makes photog-rapher’s job much simpler, but it also ruins the moment. and like we said earlier immediate results are sometimes not much productive. While immediate results might be beneficial to a commercial photographer, in most cases, it becomes a distraction from photography.We can therefore conclude that the world of photography has a room for both the digital photography and the traditional photography. There are only numerous aspects revolv-ing around the use of digital photography versus tradi-tional photography. After all, digital photography is just another tool of modernization showing the advancement of photography in an ever-changing world. Let’s just hope that digital and traditional photographers can make the best out of both worlds to produce the best work that everyone would love to have.

This Month's featureD artist exposes the endless debate about digital vs traditional photography. The use of traditional methods in the digital era and the nostalgia of black and white photography,

Afrobeta Afrobeta has been making music for 1 year, 9 months, 2 weeks and 3 days. On their own, Smurfio and Cuci know a thing or two about music together they are unstoppable, with a sound that can best be described as an unexpectedly colorful explosion of feel good lyrics, electronic beats and psychedelic mischief. Music lovers well versed in the Miami scene, the duo kept on running into each other at musical haunts like Jazid, Churchill’s and the North Beach Bandshell before finally deciding to join forces to create Afrobeta’s sound. myspace.com/afrobeta

Singing in both Spanish and English, Boast-ing a knowing attitude that occasionally blurs the line between melody and mahem, an Arboles Libres song always blosoms with the band’s consistently compelling trademark sound. www.arboleslibres.com

locos por juana Formed in Miami in 2000, Locos por Juana draw from their Colombian and Carribbean roots to concoct reggae infused sounds.The band has released three full-length albums, including the recent Evolucion EP that previews their upcoming full-length release, Somos de la Calle.

Rosborough’s pays homage to Rosborough Tower, the building where the founders first roomed as freshmen.

In August 2010, Raja Khan released their first album, “Sons,” featuring Elijah Rigaud on the saxophone. They are currently working on a new album due sometime in 2011. www.rajakhanmusic.com

Awesome New Republic Awesome New Republic is going places and fast. The Miami-based duo is fueled by an optimism that we can all pool together positive efforts to potentially create an awesome new republic in America. Their out of this world trilogy of danceable albums, Rational Geographic Volume I, II, and III, are inspired by Star Wars and are respectively funny, gloomy, and celebratory.

Jah is the abbreviation for Jehovah and Fé means “to do” in Creole. Together, the word “Jahfé” symbolizes creation. Exuding an intense energy, the music created by this group grips listeners with its references to the prejudices that take place every day: hunger, poverty, disease and the tensions between nations and their peoples that can cause turmoil. www.myspace.com/JahféJahfé

3WALKING SHOES.

TRAVEL GEAR.

Do yourself a favor and invest in quality walking shoes with Gore-Tex. Your feet will be more than grateful as they will carry you around day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year.Just keep in mind that excellent walking shoes are a must when backpacking in South America.

A high quality backpack is obviously a must. Choose the backpack type that has different compartments that can be opened separately. Very handy if you need something quickly. Depends on where you go. If it’s the mountains and the jungle, get some quality clothing from home. You can rent camping and climbing material in South America but the quality may be questionable. Always check the material. Bring your own gear if possible. I backpacked 18 months with my own tent and various camping utensils.Travel as light as possible. A heavy backpack is destined to undermine your traveling plea-sure.

Make your own up and keep it small just what you need to get through any bad times/emergencies until you next get to a pharmacy. Pharmacies abroad are normally excellent, easily located and 9 out of 10 times someone there will speak English or Spanish.
