A National TV Special will offer first look at Latino Hip-Hop, Reggaeton and Hurban Music. AIM Tell-A-Vision Group’s Maximas Productions, the award-winning producers from the groundbreaking series “American Latino TV” and “LatiNation,” announced their third season of “Sonidos,” the acclaimed Latin music special series, with the premiere of “Sonidos-Volume 9: Latinos in Hip-Hop” this month on English-language stations all across the United States. This ninth volume of the quarterly one-hour specials offers insight into the exploding “Hurban” music genre. Hurban music eclectically mixes Latin Hip-Hop, Rap and Reggaeton. Featured artists’ segments include: red-hot, West Coast Hip Hop brother act, Akwid; Miami sensation Pitbull; Milwaukee rappers Kinto Sol; R&B crooner, Frankie J; and more. Additionally, the multi-award-winning producers feature in-depth segments on the emergence of Latinos in Rap, as well as on the history of the Chicano Hip Hop movement and a rare and insightful look at the rising popularity of Hip-Hop and rap in Cuba. “Sonidos” is hosted by Liza Quin, a talented vocal artist and songwriter whose recently released CD Single “Make Your Move” features Reggaeton pioneer El General. “I’ve never witnessed any musical category hotter than Latin rap and Reggaeton,” states Robert Rose, CEO of AIM Tell-A-Vision and Executive Producer of the specials. “It’s being played everywhere.
