- For a variety of reasons, Latin American contemporary music —or Rock en Español, Rock Latino, Latin Alternative or whatever y’all like to call it— has been a music genre has had more traction in printed media rather than radio. O sea it has been read more than listened to in commercial airwaves. *misterios sin resolver* At the end of the 1990s there was a growing number of magazines and zines being published in Southern California that focus on youth-oriented music genres: Al Borde, La Banda Elástica as the mainstays along with San Diego’s No Cover among others. In addition, L.A. Weekly also covered the genre periodically and that’s when La Opinión got in the mix with their own music and lifestyle weekly: La Vibra. It was distributed every Thursday inside La Opinión. By the mid-2000s La Vibra was also distributed in Texas, los Nuyores, Chicago, San Francisco, and Orlando. Regrettably, due to La Opinión’s parent company Impremedia’s financial woes, the weekly supplement seems to have ceased publication by 2016 (or perhaps before). Here are some La Vibra covers from the 2000s, which feature la banda Angelina que vive más lejos ¡Tijuana No! Ozomatli, Cecilia Toussaint, Los Prisioneros y Alex Lora.
