This boy band may be underage, menores, but they are pretty sure they are ready to fall in love, a feeling that their screaming fan base is willing to reciprocate.

Another explosive, controversial yet danceable track from Puerto Rico's Calle 13. Nudity, insults flung at the Vatican, almost nothing's off limits for Calle 13.

Argentina
Karamelo Santo performs a new version of perhaps their best known song... "Nunca, que no digan nunca" may be translated as "Never... say never," but Karamelo Santo's ska-infused sound is about as far from Justin Bieber's as you can get.

Venezuela
We have the debut music video from La Vida Bohème -- an Indy, punkish Venezuelan band with a bit of French in its name. Playing on roof tops in Caracas, the band delivers a subversive song in just a few words. And then they are kidnapped. "Viva la résistance," says the writing on the wall (also dropping in a bit of French). This is one band worth following.
