NEW YORK (Top40 Charts/ LAMC) - The LAMC Returns to New York City and Will Once Again Feature Free Concerts & Film Nights at Central Park Summerstage and Celebrate Brooklyn Festival at Prospect Park, As Well As
Industry Panels and Numerous Artist Showcases Across the City

"Despite changing tastes and sounds, the Latin Alternative Music Conference still provides a necessary outlet." -BILLBOARD
"LAMC is to Latin alternative the way the Sundance Film Festival is to indie movies." -ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER
"As far as the cutting-edge curators of the Latin Alternative Music Conference are concerned, reggaeton was so five years ago. Way back during LAMC's inaugural 2000 event, they introduced stateside music fans to the then-untapped Puerto Rican dance beat." -NY DAILY NEWS
"Since it began in 2000, the LAMC has been rallying the musicians and business people seeking to promote innovative music - rock, pop, electronica and hip-hop merged with local traditions. It has placed its hopes on the quality of the music, in the mainstream acceptance of Latin hybrids by hitmakers like Shakira, and in the inevitability of demographic changes that are creating a young, bilingual audience." -NEW YORK TIMES
"The LAMC has emerged as the top showcase for up-and-coming Latin acts." -ASSOCIATED PRESS
With a warm welcome from the Big Apple, the biggest event in the world for cutting edge Latin music will return to New York July 10th - 14th. Featuring leading artists as well as many of the music industry's most prominent decision-makers, the eighth annual LAMC is a "must play" event for developing and established acts alike. Of the six artists recently spotlighted in Time Magazine's recent "6 Sizzling CD's from South of the Border" Latin Grammy feature, five of the acts had played LAMC before they went on to achieve wider commercial success.
Among the events planned for LAMC 2007 are free concerts at Central Park Summerstage (including a special Film & Music night on July 10th), Celebrate Brooklyn Festival at the Prospect Park Bandshell, and Museo del Barrio, as well as numerous showcases and industry panels for LAMC registrants. With past conferences averaging more than 1250 music industry attendees and 25,000 concert fans each year, LAMC 2007 promises to be an exciting year. This four-day conference providing networking opportunities with the genre's leading artists, label executives, journalists, marketers, managers, retailers and programmers, is the most extensive to be offered by a music conference to date.
Panels, additional concerts, and online registration information will be announced shortly. For additional information about LAMC, please visit www.LatinAlternative.com
