Saddiq Has No Contract, but a Grammy Nod Jan 8, 3:33 PM EST NORTH HOLLYWOOD, Calif (AP) â€â€? He doesn't have a recording deal If they win, good for them," he said I feel like I already won His current album, "Instant Vintage," has sold under 200,000 copies â€â€? and Saddiq says it isn't all his fault "The record didn't get a fair shot from Universal but still, the music prevailed," he said "Whoever wins, good for them I'll just let them have the thoughts to themselves," he said "But I feel like that I already won being that the record only 167-something thousand copies and it's getting so much love from the listeners and the people " Saddiq said he isn't worried about competing with other artists If I win, good for me " Does he have any special thoughts for Universal? "I don't know "So I was kind of satisfied for the music itself and for all the hard work people put into it and the people who listened to me Saddiq says just two weeks ago his label, Universal, dropped him from his recording deal Actually, he has five of them, tying with Eminem, Norah Jones, Avril Lavigne, Bruce Springsteen and a few others for the lead going into the awards in February But Raphael Saddiq has something a lot of people with deals don't have â€â€? a Grammy nomination "It's so honest, it's beyond being tacky or hip Still, critics fawn over their acoustic fusion, an alternative to the homogenized, prepackaged sounds of Ricky Martin-inspired Latin pop latingrammy c om www " The Miami-based band is Colombian guitarist and lead singer Villamizar, 32, Brazilian bassist Andre Lopes, 26, and Puerto Rican percussionist Jose Javier "JJ" Freire, 31 "More than that, because we live in Miami, there's no way you can turn on a radio and not listen to maybe a Mexican ballad, Argentinian or Mexican rock, then there's a salsa or a merengue, then some pop â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? On the Net: www We're not fully members of the top 10 club yet," Villamizar said It's become an inside joke in the Latin music industry â€â€? because the song did indeed become Bacilos' first U radio breakthrough " Villamizar penned that song for a Greek woman he knew while living in London who didn't speak English " Examples of their multicultural influences and teamwork are all over "Caraluna They have three nominations, and Villamizar has three more on his own for his work as a songwriter Bacilos' musical diversity is born from the nuances of their cultures and the mixed salad of Latin American influences that permeate Miami " The multinational rockers could have their first Latin Grammy when the awards show is broadcast live Wednesday on CBS at 9 p bacilos "People would tell us that when we played acoustically, we had this special energy," Freire said But they soon adjusted to the venues they were playing â€â€? restaurants and bars with little need for huge drum sets or loud amplifiers â€â€? by going acoustic "We're still alternative Despite their recent success, the trio hasn't reaped big money yet "Each one of us brings their own roots," Lopes said " The band was forming a base that today fuses several musical styles â€â€? rock, cumbia, ska, reggae, soca, bossa nova and others â€â€? with layered sounds of the violin, cello and brass instruments George, a native New Yorker who produced two songs on the album, leads all nominees with six EDT "The whiskey, the beer, and the electric guitar tends to bring out a more raw and punkish sound," Freire said That's a far cry from their more mature, organic sound of today The album turned into a Grammy, which "closed the phase of the unknown musician, the underdog trying to prove a point," said Villamizar, the only married Bacilos member Bacilos' debut eponymous album, released in 2001, netted two Latin Grammy nominations "It's realistic and it's really honest," said Jorge Villamizar, who wrote the song with producer Sergio George We revealed and projected our Latin roots more effectively "It made me feel at peace with the sacrifices I've made in my life," he said "Mi Primer Millon" is a story about Bacilos' success, highlighting the risks of dropping everything to chase fame without compromising art "Yeah, it's softer, it's different, but there's still intensity and it's still fresh " There's the pop ballad "Solo Un Segundo," (Just One Second), the flamenco and bossa nova influenced "Barcelona," and the English-language, ska-inspired "Elena m "Mi Primer Millon" is from the eclectic CD "Caraluna," which won a mainstream Grammy in 2002 for best Latin pop album com</ p> More than the market, it has touched the industry Bacilos Leads Nominees for Latin Grammys Sep 2, 3:48 PM EST The chorus of Bacilos' hit song "Mi Primer Millon" makes it clear: "I only want to hit it on the radio, so I can have my first million The name Bacilos literally means "bacillus," or bacterium in English, though there's also a reference to a "vacilon," or a big, wild party It's very hard not to be influenced by everything you listen to and hear While Bacilos has joined Juanes, Molotov, and acts from Surco records as part of a wave of alternative Latin rock, they began eight years ago as three young guys in a hard-sounding power trio S |
