Nuestra is the debut studio album of the Venezuelan rock band La Vida Bohème, released in August 2010. Recorded and produced by Rudy Pagliuca, it is a free download on the website of the record label All of the Above.
The album was nominated for "Best Latin Pop, Rock or Urban Album" in the 54th Grammy Awards.[1] The two singles from this album are "Radio Capital" and "Danz!".
Background and recording[edit]
The album was recorded in Caracas in 2009, on fairly independent terms. Guitarist Daniel De Sousa happened to be studying engineering at the time, and took on designing a distortion pedal that was used on the album. The synths were designed/programmed by fellow Venezuelan artist Arca, then known as Nuuro.
In popular culture[edit]
The song "El Buen Salvaje" is included in the video game FIFA 12, winning the MTV Game Awards 2012 for "Best song in a video game".
"Radio Capital" is present in the Rockstar's video game Grand Theft Auto V, in which it is played on the East Los FM station.
