Subte

The first versión of subte started out in 2006 (without the actual name), where 5 unsigned bands were on an online contest, and the winner got to be the starting act in Manifest. For 2007 the name subte came from "subterraneo" meaning underground in spanish. With a jury of 5 of mexicans in the music business chose five bands from every mexican they have come across, and the winner by online voting gets to open for Manifest. All 5 bands benefit from all the press and hype Manifest has for them.
