   About Urban Folk
In the spring of 2005, along with the birds and the flowers, a new zine was born. Based on an old punk idea of taking the media into our own hands, and with the help of the cheap and friendly folks over at Linco Printing, acoustic music reared it's thoughtful head and asked New York if it would like to hear a song. Now tired commuters and bored folks on toilets throughout the city are delighted every other month with stories of the bohemians, bums, and poet troubadors out there trying to explain the universe or at least entertain it for awhile. The choice for honest and independant music has never been so black and white.

Available in print at cafes, campuses, and transit stations across the city.

Our new album is now available!

"...The Liverpool band prove that three-minute pop ditties is not all that comes out of the 2008 European Capital of Culture. Cleverly layered sounds and atmospheres collide to keep the listeners attention .... you just know the guys do this for the love because it is just too damn clever for the mainstream", Classic Rock Society

See more reviews, hear excerpts and get hold of the album directly at our myspace site.....

¡Feliz Año Nuevo!


La CaVa de ArECiBo les invita






Ven con nosotros a disfrutar la música de Fernandito Ferrer.

La música de este canta-autor borincano es refrescante, su desgarre de cuerdas es una armónica melodía que nos incita los sentidos, nos humedece en el calor del amor patrio y hace que el cuerpo peque ante la inmovilidad, siguiendo el son desprevenido de los acordes.

Te esperamos en La Cava de Arecibo en estas dos únicas presentaciones el sábado, 12 y el viernes, 18 de enero.


Presiona aquí para que puedas escuchar su música en su MySpace y conocer un poco de su historia. También, puedes escucharlo en youtube.com en su presentación en Tijuana el pasado 20 de octubre presionando aquí, cantando la canción de Son Desangrado de Silvio Rodríguez.
