They certainly deserve it. And as for my blog, I'm interested in any music where the musician self-identifies themselves or their music as being Jewish. So viva the Hoodios. <BR/><BR/>I'll be honest, other than the Hoodios I don't have much exposure to Latino Jews or Jewish culture. Any good pointers you could give me? Any other bands I should know about?Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16150135572952331382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-291247664835034127.post-70239093972467699902007-08-09T13:29:00.000-05:002007-08-09T13:29:00.000-05:00Yeah, iTunes Latino is very supportive of cool gro...Yeah, iTunes Latino is very supportive of cool groups like Hip Hop Hoodios. Funny that the group sometimes gets more support from Latinos than Jews. As a Latino Jew myself, I appreciate Jewish bloggers like you spotlighting one of my favorite groups.<BR/><BR/>-MiguelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-291247664835034127.post-24171830042898648602007-08-09T07:41:00.000-05:002007-08-09T07:41:00.000-05:00Hey!

It's pretty great and even the tracks from Raza Hoodios that I didn't like before (like 'Kike on the Mic') are really growing on me.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16150135572952331382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-291247664835034127.post-39965376228593080132007-08-01T20:45:00.000-05:002007-08-01T20:45:00.000-05:00Yeah, I'm with you.

In my mind, Raza was just a demo - then the group got signed and had a proper recording budget.<BR/><BR/>It's really cool to see an openly Jewish group have an audience that is also heavily Latino and non-Jewish.

"Dicks and Noses" and "Kike on the Mike"? If you're going to have fun with stereotypes, you've got to be a lot smarter about it than these songs and the their rap "A Jew for Allah, A Jew for Jesus, A Jew for Malagras and Telekinesis" was funny but pretty light weight.<BR/>The Channukah track "Ocho Kandelikas" was cool as a novelty song. The only track that really grabbed me and suggested these guys were a band to watch was the title track "Raza Hoodia." I heard a real music voice there behind the silliness. Anyway, I just grabbed Agua Pa' La Gente from emusic and am looking forward to giving it a spin.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16150135572952331382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-291247664835034127.post-66848018958489651022007-07-31T18:30:00.000-05:002007-07-31T18:30:00.000-05:00Viva Hip Hop Hoodios!I love these guys too.
