La Mano Fria | DJ | Live Typographic Performance
[Miami: Arepaz, Beta Bodega Coalition]
Label owner and founder of the Beta Bodega Coalition in 1998 (Beta Bodega label (RIP), Rice and Beans label (RIP) and Botanica del Jibaro and Arepaz record labels), La Mano Fria has always fused his ideas and work with those of artists to form a creative relationship and record label which is not only unique but with reason and meaning. La Mano Fria has been invited throughout the world, most noted was at Sonic Acts 2001 (Amsterdam), Transmediale.02 (Berlin), Sonar 2004 (Barcelona), Fusionix 2005 (Sapparo), Medelink 2008 (Medellin) and many more. Most recently, La Mano Fria's performance has gone into a live graphic typographic performance that mixes analog and digital. Blending and reconstructing text from the audience with a projector, computer, duct tape and markers to convey a series of messages and letter styles. Now touring under the banner of AIO (Arepaz Immigrante Orchestra) which brings the positive image and message of immigrants.

La Mano Fria | Bio
La Mano Fria is a graphic artist, audio hacker, vj, record selector, a label owner, a visual soldier against the global and fake democratic system which engulfs the world today but most important a simple worker. Before the record labels and Beta Bodega Coalition was founded his involvement in the Miami scene ranged from organizing events to involvement with pirate radio stations. As a visual artist, La Mano Fria influences are life, culture and music: all types of tastes, sights and ofcourse sounds (latin, hip hop, electronic, techno, house, electro, roots reggae, experimental, etc.). And visual: old punk rock record covers, Cuban OSPAAAL posters, and NYC graffiti movement as well as his own experiences of being a immigrants struggling and being on the go in the US. HIs work includes graphics for labels such as: Counterflow, Merck, Project Mooncircle/HHV.de, Underground Gallery (JP), RL66 (JP), Mass Transit, Motech, Metatronix as well as all Beta Bodega Coalition record labels. Also creator of the clothing brand, Rice and Beans, which started in 1996 on the shelves of Bobbito Garcia's Footwork shop (RIP) in NYC, was brought back in 2006. Rice and Beans can now be found thourghout Japan at the popular shop, Beams T. La Mano Fria has also done a variety of art exhibitions from galleries in Tokyo, Porto, Niigata, Den Hague, Kyoto, Dresden, etc. The point is to use skills not violence as true weapons, media as a tool which can give a voice and shine a light on issues and concerning the "Third World" and it's immigrants worldwide.
