Guys…as I was walking down downtown Mexico City’s historic streets yesterday, I found a place that seriously AMAZED ME.  It was a gallery called Cave Men Did It First, which was established last August in the heart of Mexico city .  The CMDIF mission is simple and very powerful:  To promote and support Mexican urban art and artists, while providing a space to give these guys the proper exposure to their talent.  The current show has artwork from the likes of ARO, DESKO, Dr CABLE, FAIRY, YOSTE, ECKS, FANZYE and many more.  But let me tell you something…these kids are fuckin’ insane and mad talented …  Mexican urban art is killing it.  I mean, I’m an art collector myself and own so much great artwork from really good friends and famous artists (who’ve shown their work in famous galleries, etc and shit) but when I went inside this place I just wanted to buy it all !!!  I WAS SUPER IMPRESSED.

My props  and a big big shout out to Mariana Todd  and all the people behind this amazing project !

MUCH RESPECT  ! ! ! & MUCH LOVE  ! ! !

The place is located on # 60 of Jesus Maria st on the 3th floor between the streets of Corregidora & Venustiano Carranza . ( Downtown Mexico City )

Phone # 54-91-15-63

So if you are ever in Mexico City and want to enjoy some really fucking good urban art, then this place is a MUST GO TO spot for sure!!

My friends from Thievery Corporation closed their RadioRetaliation Tour in Vancouver @ The Orpheum a couple weeks ago and let me tell you something .. these guys are out of this world !!!.

Every single song that they played had so much  soul that it was impossible not to move … ( the venue wasnt the best place for this )  but with a huge diversity of styles, sounds and musical instruments The Thievery Corporation made of my nite an unforgettable evening, all of that followed by an amazing after party at my friend Ernesto’s restaurant -NUBA- with all the members of the band and the most delicious food in downtown Vancouver.

Que Vivan Los Thievery Corporation !!!! Que viva NUBA !!! y Que VIVA MEXICO CABRONES !!! Feliz 5 de Mayo !
