Moreno Valley is about 60% Latino, so the first thing I did when I moved out here two years ago was find the best Mexican restaurant in town, and as soon as the regular customers and waitresses found out that I'm a musician, they started recommending all this cool stuff to me. Check out:
Mana. Saw them play live at Staples. Don't be fooled by the MTV Unplugged show; these guys rock.
Elefante. Latin-flavored rock and pop.
Camila. Almost too close to chick-pop, but still excellent.
Catupecu Machu. Think Argentinian grunge.
Allison. Pop-punk in Espanol.
Wisin y Yandel. Reggaeton? Whatever, one guy sings, the other guy raps. I don't even like rap, but these guys are pretty cool.
Marco Antonio Solis. Pop ballads.
Ana Gabriel. Pop ballads and ranchera (Mariachi with a guitar army.)
Ricardo Arjona. Pop ballads.
Prince Royce. Bachata.
Romeo Santos. Bachata.
