Today, June 5th Join Urban Latino Magazine as they host their Annual Music Issue Release event (issue #101). This exclusive soirée will be held at Rooftop 760, situated in the heart of New York's Time Square at 6pm. The talented and eclectic group, SI*SE will perform live, introducing their new single EP "GO!." In addition photographer, Shirley Rodriguez will conduct a live photo shoot as she captures some of the hottest music artists for her upcoming book (due to come out in 2013). BET's Master of the Mix, DJ Mell Starr will also be part of the night's festivities, providing guests with great music.
Si*SE graces the cover of this Annual Music Issue and is known for their diverse bilingual sound and style. The fusion of electronic and hip hop beats combined with sultry vocals is what makes them stand out. Singer/DJ Carol C's voice evokes a sophisticated sensuality, singing in English and Spanish over producer Cliff Cristofaro's post-trip-hop grooves. The band includes drummer Ryan Farley, bassist Morgan Phillips, percussionist Neil Ochoa and Violinist Nicole Arena. Si*Se has shared the stage with Norah Jones, The Roots and James Brown to name a few. You might have heard the groups' music on TV shows like Sex in the City, Nip Tuck, One Tree Hill, Six Feet Under, Project Runway, Lipstick Jungle, CSI, MTV's Road Rules, and in various commercials.
