Miranda




Miranda is and Argentinean pop electro pop band that got together in 2001. They name the band after an Argentinean actor Osvaldo Miranda, they first started getting famous in parts of Buenos Aires. Miranda is a unique band the first performance's they acted out the lyrics of their songs and that brought them a lot of followers and a few prices. Some of their songs are very inappropriate, like the song "El profe" it talk about a male student that fantasizes about being of his female classmates. The situations described in this song are unusual and some people may find them very offensive. Like "quiero que toques para mi, quiero tocarme y acabar en ti"which means (I want you to touch yourself for me, I want to touch myself and come in you). Me personally i like their music i think that it talks about what people don't dare talk about because it's to inappropriate.

Panda


Panda is an alternative rock band formed in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon. They didn't have much attention from many people until 2001 when their album "Arroz Con Leche" came out. The biggest hit song on that album was "Para ti con despresio" which in my opinion is the best song on that album. At first the band played other famous people's music but they later on realized that the song's they wrote where also good, they wrote songs about friend's, parties, and love. In 2005 a Mexican magazine wrote an article about them. It said that they just translated lyrics from band's like Green day, My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, and Blink 182. Green day did sue them the fine for plagiarism was 600,000 euros. Panda did lose a lot of fan's but they got twice as many as more fan's.
