B-Sides with Lauren & Valeria

This week on B-sides, we dive into the raw, nostalgic, and revolutionary sounds of London—a city that has shaped music for decades and refuses to stop reinventing itself. From Amy Winehouse’s smoky soul to Bowie’s cosmic glam, from the punk rebellion of The Clash and Siouxsie and the Banshees to the swagger of Oasis, Skepta, Central Cee, and Lola Young, we trace the city’s timeless influence across genres and generations. We dream up our ultimate London festival lineup, imagine which grime artists we’d love to see go acoustic on an MTV Unplugged, and talk about the vibe of Churchill in Miami, bringing a slice of London nightlife stateside. And of course, we couldn’t resist picturing ourselves in a pub pint-in-hand, catching a young Amy Winehouse singing her heart out.Presented by @culturatvofficial 🦉============================= 📲 Follow us:📌 Instagram Valeria Zea: https://www.instagram.com/valezea7/📌 Instagram Lauren Martha Bouza: https://www.instagram.com/laurenmbouza/

This week on B-sides, we dive into the world of movie and TV soundtracks—from the pulse of a perfect score to the anthems that define a generation. We chat about what makes a soundtrack unforgettable, the difference between a movie score and a curated soundtrack, and celebrate classics like Juno, Lords of Dogtown, Mid90s, Waves, and of course, the iconic The OC Season 1 soundtrack. Plus, we got competitive with a game of “Famous Song, Guess the Movie!”—Lauren had to telephone a friend (or her brother!) and, somehow, Anthony walked away the winner… nothing but a win! Get ready for nostalgia, laughs, and all the tunes that make our favorite movies and shows unforgettable.Presented by @culturatvofficial 🦉============================= 📲 Follow us:📌 Instagram Valeria Zea: https://www.instagram.com/valezea7/📌 Instagram Lauren Martha Bouza: https://www.instagram.com/laurenmbouza/

A special live episode of B-Sides filmed at Cultura Media House with special guest Carlos Escanilla and the crew to honor Amy Winehouse on her birthday. We transformed the living room into a purple-lit vibe with candles, lava lamps, and soul, filling the space.Lauren, Valeria, and Carlos performed side by side, showcasing the different chapters of her artistry: • In My Bed (Frank, 2003) — produced by Salaam Remi, who gave Amy’s early work that smoky, jazz-infused grit.• Back to Black (Back to Black, 2006) — produced by Mark Ronson, whose retro-soul touch helped define Amy’s most iconic sound.• Wake Up Alone (Back to Black, 2006) — also produced by Mark Ronson, a haunting ballad that captures her vulnerability.• Valerie — Mark Ronson’s production turned it into the joyful classic we all know and love.We shared stories, swapped song facts, played a little trivia, and celebrated the timeless voice of Amy Winehouse. 🥀Follow us on Instagram: ⁠⁠@bsideswithlv⁠📲 Follow us:📌Valeria Zea: www.instagram.com/valezea7/📌 Lauren Bouza: www.instagram.com/laurenmbouza/ 📌 Carlos Escanilla: www.instagram.com/thecarlosescanilla/

This week on B-sides, we step past the velvet rope into the glittering chaos of Studio 54—the legendary New York nightclub that redefined nightlife, broke boundaries, and burned out in spectacular fashion. We dig into the history of its iconic founders, the famous faces who lit up its dance floor, and the clubs that carried its spirit into the 2000s—like The Loft, Paradise Garage, Limelight, The Sanctuary, and Club 57. Then we take a turn into the haunting world of Club 27, remembering artists like Kurt Cobain, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, and Amy Winehouse—brilliant musicians gone too soon. And before the lights come up, we show some love to the scene today with two local bands we’re excited about: Leave it to Us and Popcorn Tales. It’s a night of disco balls, decadence, and the price of legend—with a nod to the music still being made right now.Follow us on Instagram: ⁠@bsideswithlv⁠Presented by ⁠@culturatvofficial⁠ 🦉

On this episode, we’re pulling the plug and turning up the mood. L&V go deep into the raw, intimate magic of MTV Unplugged- from Nirvana’s haunting set to Lauryn Hill’s stripped down soul, Alice in Chain’s grunge melancholy, Staind’s angst, and Soda Stereo’s powerful collab with leading lady from Aterciopelados, Andrea Echeverri. We also imagined the artists who should’ve had an Unplugged moment (hello, Amy Winehouse?). plus: a fun round of music trivia to close it out. Grab a drink and your comfiest fit— this one’s for the softcore rockers and acoustic romantics.Follow us on Instagram: @bsideswithlvPresented by @culturatvofficial 🦉
