My Super Sweet Quince Somebody queue up the Stevie B.
BY JAMIE LAUGHLIN Booty bass maestro José El Rey is multitasking. In addition to his full-time job (player), he’s also throwing down some new tracks in a Miami studio when we phone him. Fortunately he has a cordless telephone, a patio, and many big thoughts to share. Otherwise, we might never know about the clamshell. See, the Rey’s dear friend Yaris Laydy is about to become a woman. She’s turning 15 tonight, and everyone (even you) is invited to her quinceañera.
If you aren’t familiar with quince customs, here’s what you must know, straight from José El Rey: “A quinceañera is kinda like a junior prom, because you get to dress fancy and make out — but we will have a chaperone. My friend Slim Biscayne will be making sure that nobody is stealing any bases.” Also, the special lady must make a grand entrance: “The swing in the moon is a popular choice; so is coming through an archway or popping out of a clamshell,” notes El Rey, who will also be performing at the event. Regardless of how she arrives, the girl is always the main focal point: “She is kind of like a wife who is getting married to no one.” So don’t dress like a slouch. El Rey is planning an outfit as spectacular as his top-secret serenade (there’s rumor of “Diamond Girl”). “I’m thinking about renting a nice tuxedo. Hopefully they have something shiny and pink, or shiny and blue, or ruffly and slippery so that I don’t have to wear the underwears under it,” he says, before reconsidering. “But then I’m renting it and I don’t want to catch any diseases.” Tonight’s jam also features a commemorative photo slide show by co-conspirator Aholsniffsglue, and music by DJs galore. For refreshments, enjoy a whole roast pig. Yes. This is really happening. Check it all out tonight at The Vagabond (30 NE 14th St., Miami) during the premiere of ¿Que Pasa MIA? Doors open at 10.
Some dismiss José el Rey as a novelty. Others claim he's Cuban Miami's modern music messiah. Whatever your take on his silly-sexy crooning, handlebar mustache, and thick gold chain, there's no denying that el Rey's been making some major waves. Between a Perez Hilton shoutout, coverage in Maxim en Español, and a buzzed-about live show at Poplife, he's lodged himself into the Miami zeitgeist in a way that more "serious" acts haven't. Tonight, el Rey and his crew (including street artist Aholsniffsglue) throw a quinceañera party that promises everything but the 15-year-olds. They've wrangled some of the city's best DJs, as well, including Plot, Ray Milian, Induce, and Alex Caso.

Better Than: Shopping at Flamingo Plaza
Local musician Jose El Rey is the embodiment of the Cuban stereotype. He is flirtatiously misogynistic, unbelievably crass and sports a look straight out of Que Pasa U.S.A.? Saturday night at Poplife, he had the crowd literally eating out of his hands in the form of guava and meat pastelitos.
There isn’t much to say about El Rey’s music. It’s a mix between punk-rock aesthetics, fuzzy electro and kitschy pop sprinkled with a Cuban saying or two. His being Cuban is always at the forefront of his performance, giving shout outs to Ñooo Que Barato! all the while sounding like the drunk Cuban grandfather that says the most inappropriate things.
He mixes his Cuban-ness performance with ‘80s hair metal acrobatics along with a gaggle of hipster girls dancing around him. His oddest accessory is his “bodyguard” who does little to protect El Rey from the girls clawing to get to his polyester-draped body.
Simply enough his 30-minute performance mimics his persona: he shows you the time of your life only to leave you when you are begging for more. He quickly exited the stage with a cape thrown over his back by his bodyguard in a James Brown fashion. Despite the pleas of the audience for an encore, he didn’t oblige. Oye chica, he is a Cuban man and you don’t tell a Cuban man what to do.
Off-stage when I went to congratulate him on his performance, although he had changed into an ordinary T-shirt and jeans, he quickly flashed a brief and charismatic smile and said, “Thanks!”
Personal Bias: Pastelitos are my weakness.
Random Detail: El Rey has a self-released, full-length album out called Espirituality.
By The Way: Espirituality is out of print and probably not easy to come by.

, José el Rey is making like Jason Tyler and Christian Martin and performing at Heatr in Ft. Lauderdale, which means I am going to miss the presumably unforgettable combination of shiny pants, pelvic thrusts, his creepy security crew standing guard and the free pastelitos and beer he is said to pass out during shows. José el Rey's style and sound are both a tribute to and a spoof on sparkly, trashy Miami culture, but it's mostly the former. His beats are ridiculously similar to an 8-beat video game's background music but are rooted in Miami bass, his Cuban-American accent jokingly (but not really?) crooning about how rad and sexy he is over a Casio. The video for "I Rule, The House of Sex" is the best summary for the José el Rey lifestyle: the unnecessary comma in the title itself to note the pause in the lyric, the background images in the video (a gigantic Cuban sandwich, an aerial view of Miami, the ¡Ñoooo que Barato! store and numerous Calle Ocho - that's Eighth Street - landmarks), his gritty voice, the disco ball hanging from a tree in a quintessential Floridian backyard. If it doesn't have you yelling "¡Dámelo papi!" (like the ladies did when Perez Hilton posted the equally awesome video for "Offended By My Sex"), you have no libido...or sense of humor
Due to Youtubes restriction of videos longer than 10 minutes, we divided the episode into 3 parts.This is the first and second part of the episode. Enjoy.
The entire episode will soon be available on Smokenprofits. com and on dvd with a bunch of bonus material, you know how we do it.
