Best Locally Produced Music Television En Vivo, Channel 40 STAFF PICK: When MTV en Español got yanked from
the blue screen a few years ago, our hearts broke; but En
Vivocame along to save us. Every week, veejays
Regina, Ruben and Jesus treat us to a rich assortment of musica
en español, a much greater variety than we ever saw
on MTV. En Vivo is a mix of banda, norteña, rock,
hip-hop, merengue, and pop that ranges from the sublime to the
ridiculous, hailing from all over Latin America and Spain. It's
all presented in a friendly, down-home style by people you're
glad to welcome into your living room. Our faves: Café
Tacuba, Juan Luis Guerra, and an hilarious Tropa F video about
the plumber. (Airs from 11 p.m. to 2 a.m. Saturdays.)
