Undoubtedly, Teena Marie has the very unique yet killing voice that I’ve ever heard in my life!
Honestly, she’s one of the few Caucasian female singer who can interpreted the R&B songs with such a remarkable way! That’s why, I admired this lady very much…

Mary Christine Brockert, which is also known as “Teena Marie” is an American Grammy Award-nomited singer-songwriter-producer. She’d notable as one of the few successful multi-ethnic performers of R&B. Due to this reason, many people suspected her as the mix of Caucasian and Afro-American. The truth is, she’s actually the descendant of Belgian, Portuguese, Irish, Italian and Native American ancestry (Phew, I never thought her origin is so complicated than her music did).


For your information, Teena Marie was released her first studio album, “Wild and Peaceful” in 1979. It’s followed with another thirteen studio albums, including the newest, “Congo Square” which is released on 11th June 2009!



By the way, Teena Marie mentioned that she’s celebrating her 30 phenomenal years as a recorded singer in 2009! This means, this year is also the Pearl anniversary for Teena Marie’s recording career.

Guys, let’s spend a few minutes and listen to one of Teena Marie’s favorite songs, “Ooh La La La”…

In the United States of America, many self-financed pop rock band want to make their road to the fame. Hence, they’ve done whatever it took, as long as they have the chance to appear in the big music festival or Gala show!

Well, maybe Crash Boom Bang isn’t the biggest or greatest pop rock band in America, but I thought they got some “special ingredients” in their music!

The Crash Boom Bang is formerly known as “Urban Style”, which is founded in winter of 1999. The group members are Omar Ruiz (Vocalist/Guitarist), Mauricio Rivero (Drummer), Raul Rivero (Bassist) and KC Hutton (Lead guitarist).



In the beginning, they’re performed in the community centers and infamous radio festivals. Their music are mostly concentrated in metal, punk and reggae. However, after a long and winding 10 years journey, they’ve continuously evolving and changing into pop-rock style.

They’ve decided to make a brand new change, when they took off the “Urban Style” and substitute with the more bombastic name, “Crash Boom Bang”.

Now, Crash Boom Bang is amongst the top 20 pop-rock band inside the United States. They’ve already carved and shaped their name in the pop-rock industry world.

For your information, this band had released their brand new album, “Gold Rush” on 14th February 2009.

Honestly, this music clip, “Dangerous” from Crash Boom Bang is one of my favorite tracks. Listen to the song, feels the beat and rhythm…



Boys, let’s go and crash your enemy down, boom the obstacles off and bang your fans with those smashing hot songs!
