I've always been a fan a music that sounds a little different than the normal everyday, dare I say crap, that is heard on the radio. So, when I found the band Antioquia I just knew I had to share them with all of my readers. Pronounced an-tee-OH-kee-ah, even their name is out of the ordinary, which by the way is fantastic!
Their most current album is titled Viajero and every song on the album is unique (another hard thing to find these days). I love funk and Antioquia is funky to the max. The first time I really listened to them I was driving and I almost had to pull over so that I could get out and dance. If you don't want to dance around while listening to this album, then perhaps you should re-listen because it is impossible not to move when their music is playing. I can only imagine what a live show is like, but from everything I have read, seeing them live is incredible. If I am ever in an area that they are playing, you can bet I will be at that show!

Giana Nguyen
Giana Nguyen is the perfect artist for me to feature for my first music blog. She is based out of California and has a familiar, yet unique sound. Giana writes her own lyrics and plays the piano beautifully to go along with her heartfelt words. With a sound that is reminiscent of artists such as Colbie Calliet, and my personal favorite, Sara Barellies, Giana Nguyen is a rising star.
Her EP, which was released on February 22, 2011, includes the songs: More, Until You, Just For This Moment, Twister, For Now, and Firefly. Of the six songs, my favorite is For Now. This song is track number five on the EP and the lyrics are so honest. For anyone who has ever fallen for someone that had no idea, this song is relatable. Not to mention, the music makes me feel at ease, as well as want to “bop” around.
Relatable lyrics, killer piano, and a magnificent voice. Giana Nguyen most certainly has the makings of an artist that will go far. I sincerely recommend to all of my readers to give her a listen.
