BIOGRAFIA
El sólo escuchar el nombre de Diana Reyes pensamos en pasión, armonía y éxito. Y es que desde el lanzamiento de su álbum debut en el 2004, su primer sencillo “Rosas” la colocó rápidamente en los primeros lugares de popularidad, conquistando con esta producción un Disco de Oro a poco tiempo de haber salido a la venta. ¡Todo un suceso para una novel artista!

Inmediatamente, Diana se convirtió en una de las artistas más solicitadas de su género, conquistando éxito tras éxito. Festivales y presentaciones en los principales programas de la televisión nacional con alcance internacional la consolidaron como la más grande en la música al estilo de Durango, siendo bautizada como La Reina del Pasito Duranguense.

Navidad Duranguense (2005) fue su segundo material discográfico con el que logró superar las 70 mil copias vendidas. El disco, que también contó con la inigualable producción de Raymundo Sáenz, fue uno de gran madurez artística sorprendiendo a la misma artista quien aseguró en esa ocasión que Sáenz le “sacó un potencial que no conocía” de ella misma.

En agosto de ese mismo año, una tercera producción La Reina del Pasito Duranguense, supera las 250 mil copias. De este disco surgieron temas como: “El Sol No Regresa”, “El Me Mintió” y “Mentiras”. El álbum le consiguió su primera nominación a Premios Lo Nuestro como Artista Femenina del Año. “¡Ese día quería gritar!” – mencionó Diana. Eso era sólo el comienzo de un año lleno de triunfos. Dos meses después es tres veces nominada por la prestigiosa revista Billboard como Artista Nueva Generación, Artista Femenina del Año y Disco del Año por el tema “Como Una Mariposa”.

Para reciprocar el reconocimiento no sólo otorgado por la industria especializada sino por los miles de fanáticos que fielmente la siguen desde su primer álbum, la mexicana editó Las No. 1 de la Reina (2006), certificado por la RIAA como Disco de Oro y que vendió sobre 100 mil copias. Con esta producción, Diana Reyes debutó en el número uno en listas de Billboard en el género Regional Mexicano. Asimismo, la mexicana conquistó el primer lugar como artista femenina y ocupó la posición veintidós de ventas en el género Regional Mexicano a nivel mundial, ubicándose entre los 10 discos Latinos más vendidos, además de ocupar el segundo lugar como el artista de mayor venta de su compañía discográfica.

El 2007 da la bienvenida a su quinta placa discográfica titulada “Te Voy a Mostrar”, disco que a dos semanas de su lanzamiento obtuvo un Disco de Oro  en Estados Unidos. Esa producción lleva a Diana a experimentar nuevos matices musicales dándole un nuevo giro al género duranguense. Interesantes fusiones mezcladas con el pop son expresadas en canciones con un estilo único que convierte a la artista en una gran representante de la música contemporánea.

Los logros de Diana Reyes también se hacen notar en trabajos como su dueto con el cantante español David Bisbal, que lleva por nombre “Quién Me Iba a Decir”, incluido en el segundo tiraje del disco de Bisbal titulado “Premonición”. Igualmente, en importantes presentaciones como cuando fue solicitada a participar en la final del popular ‘reality’ Objetivo Fama, de la cadena Univisión, que se realizó en Puerto Rico y donde Diana cantó su éxito “Cuando Baja La Marea” interpretación que le ganó miles de adeptos en suelo puertorriqueño. Asimismo, una popular gira de bailes con la que ha obtenido una enorme aceptación en la República Mexicana.

Más de MEDIO MILLÓN de copias vendidas avalan el éxito de esta cantante. Su inconfundible voz y un estilo único no solamente le han adicionado fanáticos este pasado año sino suma nuevos reconocimientos como su reciente nominación a Premios Lo Nuestro como Artista Femenina del Año, en la categoría de Regional Mexicano.

El grupo Montéz de Durango se quejó de que su nueva canción “La imagen de Malverde” ha sido censurada en varias emisoras de Estados Unidos.”*

The Mexican band Los Horóscopos de Durango were involved in an accident on a busy California street that did not result in any major injuries. “*

Marisol Terrazas, lead vocalist of Mexican band Horóscopos de Durango, said goodbye to being single, and hello to married life in front of friends and family, as she wed her boyfriend of two years, businessman René Cervantes.”*

“It’s with great sadness that we announce the passing of our mother, Isabel Rodriguez, 94, who died early Tuesday morning May 20 of natural causes at Alhambra Community Hospital,” said Jaime Rodriguez, an aid to state Sen. Ron Calderon, D-Montebello.

Isabel Rodriguez was born July 8, 1913 in Basis, a silver mining town in the Mexican state of Durango. She crossed the border of El Paso, Texas and came to Los Angeles residing in Boyle Heights and East Los Angeles. For a time, according to Jaime, she worked in the laundry department of the Los Angeles County General Hospital. A single parent, she was a strong willed and caring mother who along with her sons and daughter became an active and passionate supporter of the Latino Civil Rights Movement of the late sixties and early seventies.

“*

n a move that breaks the mold of traditional regional Mexican concert promotion, two marquee groups, Intocable and Los Horoscopos de Durango, are joining forces for a 40-stop tour of the United States.

The Unidos tour is slated to kick off June 13 at the Convention Center in Visalia, California, to coincide with the release of albums by Horoscopos and Intocable. As is the case with the traditional regional Mexican “dance” circuit, the show will visit fairgrounds, theaters and convention centers.

But the tour — overseen by management/promotion company Nueva Generacion Music Group — marks a departure for the circuit because it features co-headliners and is being marketed as a major pop event, with a Web site, MySpace page and YouTube promotion. It’s also being promoted as a brand — Unidos — that is slated to return annually.”*

Universal Music Group (UMG), the world’s leading music company, today announced that it has completed its acquisition of Univision Music Group following the recent clearance of the deal in the U.S. by the Federal Trade Commission. The acquisition results in UMG becoming the largest Latin music company in North America.

The combined company, which will operate under the Universal Music Latin Entertainment banner, will include Universal Music Latino, Machete, the newly acquired labels from the Univision purchase — Fonovisa and Disa, Universal Music Mexico & Central America, Latin publishing in the US and Mexico, including the newly acquired Edimonsa, Disa and the Fonovisa catalogs, and GTS Global Talent Services, a management service division. As part of this acquisition, the Univision name will be phased out. Universal Music Latin Entertainment will be a division of Universal Music Latin America, and will be led by Jesus Lopez (currently Chairman & CEO of Latin America and Iberian Peninsula). Mr. Lopez will continue to be based in Miami, Florida and report to Zach Horowitz (President & COO, Universal Music Group) for Universal Music Latin Entertainment.

“Jesus has presided over a period of remarkable growth for Universal Music Latin America,” stated Mr. Horowitz. “His vision and passion for Latin music, entrepreneurial instincts and ability to think ‘out of the box,’ combined with that rare talent of being able to balance both creative and business concerns, make him the ideal person to lead the newly merged company.”

“I am truly grateful to Zach for this exciting opportunity,” commented Mr. Lopez. “It is a privilege to continue working so closely with him and the entire Latin music team as we build this new company, complete with such a rich history and one of the most dynamic groups of artists and executives in the business.”

In addition, it was also announced today that Jose Behar, President of Univision Music Group, has departed the company.

“I’d also like to take this opportunity to recognize all of the contributions that Jose has made to Univision over the years,” added Mr. Lopez. “We certainly wish him the very best in all of his future endeavors.”

Universal Music Latin Entertainment possesses a roster of chart-topping artists as well as a vast catalog that comprises some of the most important Latin recordings in history. Its artists include Juanes, Juan Gabriel, Paulina Rubio, Don Omar, La Secta, Winsin & Yandel, Alicia Villarreal, Pedro Fernandez, La Factoria, Mach & Daddy, Enrique Iglesias, Belanova, Luis Fonsi, Cafe Tacuba, Marco Antonio Solis, Los Tigres del Norte, Los Temerarios, Horoscopos de Durango, K-paz de la Sierra, Grupo Montes de Durango, Alacranes Musicales, Conjunto Primavera, Banda El Recodo, Jenni Rivera, Gloria Trevi, Graciela Beltran, Xtreme, Olga Tanon, Tito Nieves, Bajofondo Tango Club, and Ivy Queen, among many others.”

A handshake Friday night between Mayor Carl Brewer and Mexican Gov. Ismael Hernandez Deras sealed a notion to begin examining ways Wichita and Durango, Mexico, can build economic ties.

The governor and his family and other elected officials from Mexico stopped in Wichita to greet the local Durango community at Frida’s Mexican Grill, 1580 W. 21st St.

About 100 people from Durango filled the large banquet room to witness the visit.”*

Kumbia All Starz: Superstars - AB Quintanilla in his own words…

 

http://holamun2.com/candy/original/the-kumbia-allstarz-superstars/

You may not have heard of Los Acosta, especially if your musical tastes skew more towards KNDD-FM (The End, 107.7) than, say, regional Mexican station KDDS-FM (El Gran D, 99.3).

But the Mexican band is among the main attractions performing tonight at the Tacoma Dome as part of Festival Musical. And given the popularity of some of the bands on the bill within their respective genres – also Alegres de la Sierra, Banda Jerez, Los Telez and Brazeros Musical de Durango – you could say tonight’s event is the Mexican pop equivalent of the Family Values Tour.”*

At Chicago’s Allstate Arena on Sunday, October 21, Viva Entertainment and Hauser Entertainment co-produced one of the most anticipated concerts of the year.

Vicente Fernández, Mexico’s most legendary voice in the Ranchero music scene, brought together three generations as the sold-out auditorium brimmed with grandparents, grandchildren and their parents making this venue the place to be.

Vicente Fernández sang for more than three hours delighting the crowd with more than sixty songs. The talented artist renewed the legitimacy of his credentials while deploying all his charisma.

Breaking his own previous record of 17,792 tickets sold last year, Fernandez has confirmed that, as the song goes; he “continues to be the king.”

Viva Entertainment is very pleased to announce that this new production escalated the number of tickets sold to 18,452 setting a new record for a Latin artist at the Allstate Arena.

Earlier in the season, on September 2, 2007, a sold-out Allstate Arena mega-show featured two of Mexico’s most prestigious singers and songwriters, Juan Gabriel and Marco Antonio Solis.
Viva Entertainment produced another successful show on September 28, 2007 presenting RBD, Aventura and Diego at the Allstate Arena. The show, lasting nearly five hours from 8 pm to 12:45 am, entertained an energized and enthusiastic audience of 11,296.
