The 9th annual Latin American Music Conference (LAMC) is less than 2 months away and LA fans across the globe are tense with anticipation over who's coming, who's playing, and where (or maybe that's just me...), but as July 8th gets closer and closer more and more clues are being released as to what we can expect from the cutting-edge music conference.
The purpose of the five-day conference is to provide networking opportunities for Latin Alternative artists, label executives, journalists, marketers, managers, retailers and programmers. However, the LAMC is also a great opportunity to acclimate LA fans with their favorite artists and those new to the scene.
The conference will be headquarter-ed at the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City from July 8th - July 12th. Past conferences have avereaged over 1,250 antendees from the music industry, and approximately 25,000 fans who have frequented LAMC events each year.
The conference is great for fans of all budgets as there will be free concerts at Central Park SummerStage and Celebrate Brooklyn Festivals, and paid events including a variety of showcases, industry panels, film screenings, and art exhibits for those registered for the LAMC.

Hey! thanks for the visit, the look of the blog is just a template, but I've added a few things like the playlist and stuff like that. I hope we continue to visit each others blogs, I'll tell u a little more about Club Fonograma.
A friend from Colombia (he lives in Argentina now) and I just love the latino music, and we've been sharing ideas and we decided to form the blog. I am a film critic actually, but music is a passion of mine. I've done some things with the LAMC and Latin Grammy. I am currently a Journalism student also. If you ever want to send us a review we would love that, in fact I'm inviting you. We need a New YOrker haha, and a girl. Right now we are 3 enthusiastic young guys.
- Paulo (Colombian film student, lives in Argentina)
- Jean-Stephane (French musician, raised in Chile, lives in Los Angeles)
- Carlos (Mexican journalism student, I live in Phoenix)
Think about it, we don't post that much 'cause we are busy, we try to post album reviews, sometimes music news, but only if they are like truly important.
Abrazos!
