Los Fabulosos Cadillacs Cranks Up the Engine Once More

I hate to say I saw it coming... but, I saw it coming. When Señor Flavio, co-founder of the iconic Argentine ska-punk fusion outfit Los Fabulosos Cadillacs announced he would be releasing an album with his new band The Flavio Mandinga Project earlier this year under the Nacional Records imprint, I suspected it might be the start of a full-scale comeback. Turns out Los Fabulosos Cadillacs has reunited. Already the band is rehearsing and crafting a new album to be released sometime in October. Talk of a world tour is also in the works with Los Cadillacs planning to perform throughout Latin America, the United States and Europe. According to a statement released by Sony BMG over the weekend, the U.S. leg of the tour will begin in early 2009. The tour will be organized by Pop Art, the same promoters behind Soda Stereo's hugely successful reunion tour in 2007.
