Romeo Santos to perform at Hard Rock Live

Posted on 12:55 by RAJA BABU

Bachata singer and your abuelita’s favorite heartthrob Romeo Santos has made quite a nice living for himself over two decades with his falsetto, romantic whispers and soothing lyrics that have brought teeny boppers, soccer moms and even a few gentlemen to their respective knees – if not to tears - in mid-concert whenever the Dominicanboy toy is belting out tunes and not collecting awards at a rapid pace.

His stage presence and uncanny charm alone have paved the way for the adoration of millions of fans throughout his career, for as the lead vocalist for bachata boy band Aventura and most recently as a much-acclaimed soloist, and eased any worries of putting any food on the table, evidenced by the $12.1 million in tour revenue he earned in 2010 coming off the release of Formula: Vol. 1, which includes hit “Mi Santa” (My Saint).

It’s hard to imagine not sweating profusely or wanting to undress – mot necessarily in that order – at the sight on stage of Santos slowly bending to his knees and holding a girl’s hand while singing as only he can, “Soy capaz de lo incapaz por ti.”

Well, girls – and guys – get your Kleenex and best dress ready and head on over to the Hard Rock Live at the Seminole Casino in Hollywood, FL, Friday, May 3 where Santos will no doubt be prepared to make you cry, scream and perhaps strip you naked without laying a finger on you, if not leave you pleading “Llevame contigo!”

Don Omar cleans up at Billboard Latin Music Awards

Posted on 09:51 by RAJA BABU

By Fernie Ruano Jr.

Imagine this: Don Omar left speechless.

By the time, Omar, the big winner during the 2013 Billboard Latin Music Awards, Thursday night at the Bank United Center in Coral Gables, arrived on stage to accept his award for ‘Latin Rhythm Song of the Year” the reggaeton star had exhausted his acceptance speeches, and turned the microphone over to prodigy Natty Natasha.
                                         Take 10: Reggaeton star Don Omar was the top winner at the 2013 Billboard Latin Music Awards, Thursday night in Coral Gables, FL.

“When women speak, men shut up,” said Omar, before walking off with one of his 10 ‘Billboard Latin’ awards during the annual nationally-televised show on Spanish-language network Telemundo in recognition of the leading acts in Billboard’s sales, digital and radio charts.

Omar also took home ‘Digital Song of the Year’ before closing the three-hour fashion-laced and performance-filled Latin musiccelebration with a  bouncy and energetic performance of his hit, “Zumba”, which featured a dozen Brazilian dancerschronicling Omar’s every step as he worked both sides of the stage.

Mexican-American regional music star Jenni Rivera, killed in a plane crash in Mexico in December, won six ‘Billboard Latin’ awards and was honored during an emotional, teary-eye tribute that included footage of some of her most memorable performances and reality show – all witnessed by her parents and daughters in attendance.

Her brother, Juan Rivera performed her song, “No Llega el olvido”, backed by a mariachi band. “You are my diva,” said her father, Pedro Rivera while accepting his daughter’s awards.

The tribute left many in tears, with little time to recover as legendary Mexican singer Jose Josereceived the lifetime achievement award before Italian opera band II Volo performed a moving rendition of “El Triste”, one of Jose Jose’s timeless classics.

“Let’s thank God because he’s converted me into a friend and accomplice of so many couples, hearts and souls that fall in love and suffer because of love,” said Jose Jose.

Salsa-Latin pop music star Marc Anthony, working on his first all-salsa and original material album in almost a decade, debuted “Vivir Mi Vida”, his highly-anticipated new single off his yet-to-be-released album, with a poignant and festive performance that got many in the crowd out of their seats to dance.

Anthony was later joined on stage by Tito “El Bambino” to sing “Por Que Les Mientes”. 

Colombian pop artist Carlos Vives, who recently released his first album in eight years, joined Brazilian singer Michel Telo to perform  ‘Como Le Gusta a Tu Cuerpo”, a rheumatic and vallenato/samba-fused homage to ‘beautiful bodies’ and life on the beaches  of Brazilduring the three-hour show.

La Santa Celicia drives the road of immigrants

Posted on 10:01 by RAJA BABU

By Fernie Ruano Jr.  

Los Angeles-based Latinalternative band La Santa Cecilia isn’t hard to find whenever the immigrationis on the menu.

The band, which will appear on Jorge Ramos-hosted ‘Al Punto’ on Sunday (Univision, 10 a.m.), took part in an immigrationrally earlier this month in Washingtonand ‘El Hielo’ (‘Ice’), a personally-inspired song of living the immigrantexperience off “Trenta Dias” (Thirty Days), their upcoming album, has served as a rallying cry since its release.
 
    Breaking "El Hielo": La Santa Cecilia lead singer Marisol Hernandez is sounding off on immigration

Lead singer Marisol Hernandez watched her parents arrive in Los Angeles from Mexicowithout any legal documentation and accordion player Jose Carlos is undocumented. ‘

‘La Santa’ decided to tell their stories through song several months ago while preparing material for “Trenta Dias”. The lead track of the album details the everyday reality of being an immigrant through the stories of Carlos, Rodriguez’s mother and a family friend. They cover everything from living with a ‘hopeless’ dream to driving the streets without a license.

Hernandez is making her voice heard in an effort to push immigration form through in Washington, and having anybody else having to “hide in the back of a cargo truck with her kid” to avoid getting caught, something she personally witnessed after being asked by a family friend to pick up his wife, Hernandez recently told the Miami Herald.

Carlos, who arrived in the United States from Oaxacaat 6 years old, was in part the inspiration behind ‘El Hielo’ and the band is prepared to continue to push the door open for undocumented students, workers and housewives all over the country. And they won’t stop, until La Santa Cecilia is heard.

Editor’s Note: The interview was originally scheduled to air last Sunday, but didn’t make the telecast due to the continued coverage of the Boston Marathon bombings, according to band representative.

Marc Anthony to debut “Vivir Mi Vida” at 2013 Latin Billboard Music Awards

Posted on 07:37 by RAJA BABU

By Fernie Ruano Jr.

 Salsa starMarc Anthony has an appetite for making a splash at big parties – this week will be no different.

 Anthony will debut “Vivir Mi Vida” (Live My Life), the first track of his new salsa album to be released later this summer, during a live, nationally-televised performance on Telemundo at the 2013 Latin Billboard Music Awards, Thursday night at the Bank United Center in Coral Gables, FL.

“Vivir Mi Vida”, an adaptation of the song “C’est La Vie” by Ched Khaled, marks the New York- bred singer/songwriter’s first foray into the tropical salsa genre in almost 10 years and reunites him with longtime confidant and music producer Sergio George.
 

George, who according to several sources has been working with Anthony on the album for months at Hit Factory in Miami and Top Stop Music studios in Delray Beach, produced “Valio la Pena” (It Was Worth It), Anthony’s 2004 hit-churning, all-salsa album, which included “Volando Entre Tus Brazos” (In Between Your Arms) and “Tu Amor Me Hace Bien” (Your Love Does Me Good).

In 2010, Anthony released “Iconos” (Icons), a tribute to 1970/80s Latin pop idols Roberto Carlos and Jose Jose in which he covered signature songs. It followed 2007’s “El Cantante” (The Singer), a cover album and movie soundtrack of his portrayal of legendary Puerto Rican singer Hector Lavoe.

“Vivir Mi Vida” will be available on iTunes immediately after his performance at the awards show.
