There may be no greater sign of a city’s cultural vibrancy — or indeed its ascendance — than the health of its music scene and the indie Music Scene in Los Angeles is Booming! From the world-famous Forum in Inglewood with its glowing spaceship-like red exterior. Even Dodger Stadium will rock, thanks to a new deal signed with Irving Azoff’s Oak View Group that promises to bring music back to Chavez Ravine.
This musical bounty aside, what bodes especially well for the future of LA’s singular music scene is the preponderance of young up-and-coming artists like Cesar Sanchez.
The delightful good vibes created by the stylish “Cesar 1 & only”. It’s a brilliant juxtaposition, and alongside this there are some real moments of character and uniqueness to this whole track. The vocal is skillful, gentle, confident, controlled, and the rap has a similar personality to it but with (obviously) a much quicker pace, more lyrics fired out, much more confidence and even a little angst and attitude.
Some sounds do collide and crash, but it’s striking for the most part, and they work together to build something fresh and exciting. It would appeal to hear further creative work from those involved.
So what are these amazing east coast artists, really? They are the shelters for Los Angeles’ coruscating music culture, where car-bound Angelinos can revel, dance and lose themselves to incredible sounds that help make that city golden.
