Local Favorites: Lucha Libre - "Plantando Bandera" LP



This post features 2 groups who have flourished here (in Madison, WI) but never recieved much exposure outside of the midwest: Lucha Libre and OX.

Lucha Libre is a hip-hop/reggaeton hybrid consisting of emcee/producer Da Ricanstrukta and emcee's NV1 and Mic Virus.

They disbanded after releasing their sophmore album, but their first album Plantando Bandera (2005) was the most outstanding of all of their work. There are few guest appearences on this album consisting of local Wisconsin emcee's, but the overall diversity of sound is a testament to their creativity. Bi-lingual rhymes, battle raps, revolutionary prose, dancehall and reggaeton riddims, and typical braggadoccio are abundant on this album along with professional sound quality. Give it a listen and let me know what you think.
