Latin Music USA - A Multi-Media Event Premieres January 21, 2009 on PBS

Filed under [ Entertainment ] [ Musica ] [ Press Releases ] [ Blogante Entertainment ]
Tags: , , , , , ,

“From Latin Jazz and Mambo to Salsa, Tejano, Chicano Rock, Latin pop, and Reggaeton, Latin Music USA tells the story of the rise of new American music forged from powerful Latin roots and reveals the often overlooked influence of Latin music on Jazz, Hip Hop, Rhythm and Blues and Rock and Roll - and on all of American culture. It’s a fresh take on our musical history, reaching across time and across musical genres to embrace the exciting hybrid sounds created by Latinos, musical fusions that have deeply enriched popular music in the US over more than five decades.

The series features memorable characters and vibrant music and dance showcasing the impressive range of Latin music in the US, including, among others, Salsa greats Willy Colon and Marc Anthony; the Latin-inflected sound found in much of sixties Rock and Roll from the Drifters to Motown to the Rolling Stones; the genius of Texas accordion player Flaco Jimenez; Carlos Santana; Linda Ronstadt; the legendary Chicano rock band Los Lobos; megastars Gloria and Emilio Estefan; Ricky Martin and Juanes; Miami rapper Pitbull; and Reggaeton performers Daddy Yankee and Tego Calderon. The life experiences of these and many other unforgettable artists will reveal how Latinos have reinvented music in the United States and forged new identities within this country, while never losing sight of their own rich traditions.

Produced by a world-class production team at WGBH and the BBC, Latin Music USA “invites the audience into the vibrant musical conversation between Latinos and non-Latinos that has helped shape the history of popular music in the United States,” says series producer Adriana Bosch. The multimedia project is anchored by a four-hour documentary series that premieres on January 21, 2009 on PBS stations nationwide.

“Latin Music USA has the potential to be a cultural milestone, advancing Americans’ understanding of Latino rhythm and music as a dynamic player in shaping American society past, present and future,” said John F. Wilson, senior vice president and chief television programming executive, PBS. “And music, the universal language, communicates this phenomenon in a most irresistible way.”

Tags: , , , , , , , ,

“International recording superstar and prolific songwriter Juan Gabriel, one of Latin music’s most important artists, has signed global recording and publishing agreements with Universal Music Group, the world’s leading music company. New recordings from Juan Gabriel will be released through Universal Music Latin America, while his publishing rights (which include his entire catalog of songs from his thirty-plus-year career) will be represented exclusively by Universal Music Publishing Group (UMPG) throughout the world. The agreement was announced today by Jesus Lopez, Chairman & CEO of Latin America and Iberian Peninsula; David Renzer, Chairman & CEO, UMPG; Eddie Fernandez, Senior Vice President, Latin America, UMPG; and Juan Gabriel.

“Juan Gabriel is one of music’s greatest treasures and we are thrilled that he has decided to start the newest chapter of his storied career with Universal,” stated Mr. Lopez.

“Juan Gabriel has remained an important artist for so many years in part because he’s a gifted songwriter who is responsible for creating an incredible catalog of songs,” commented Mr. Renzer. “We look forward to working with him on taking his music to the next level on a global basis.”

“Juan Gabriel may very well be the most relevant Mexican songwriter of the last three decades,” added Mr. Fernandez. “From Pop to Ranchero and back, his music has traveled throughout Latin America and Spain.”

One of the most successful Mexican vocalists of all time, Juan Gabriel has been making hit music for over 35 years and has achieved unrivaled success throughout his years as a songwriter and performer. He was the first artist to sell over one million singles in Mexico and has since gone on to sell over 100 million copies of his albums, performing to sold-out crowds around the world. As an internationally-renowned recording artist, Juan Gabriel has received numerous awards throughout his career, including ASCAP Songwriter of the Year, four Billboard Music Awards, six Grammy nominations, numerous Premio Lo Nuestro Awards, and an induction into the Billboard Latin Music Hall of Fame in 1996.

Juan Gabriel is widely considered one of the leading ambassadors of Latin music throughout the world. As a songwriter, his songs have been recorded by a variety of artists, including Marc Anthony, Cristian Castro, Rocio Durcal, Maldita Vecindad, Jose Jose and Thalia, among many others. Juan Gabriel is also an actor who has appeared in such films as Nobleza Ranchera, Del Otro Lado del Puerte, and Es Mi Vida. Some of his best known songs include “Pero Que Necesidad,” “Hasta Que Te Conoci,” “Te Sigo Amando,” and “Querida,” which remained atop the Mexican music charts for over a year.

“The family that travels together stays together. That appears to be the philosophy of the Muñiz-López clan, who after the birth of their twins Max and Emme less than two months ago, are not allowing work commitments to keep them apart. P] Marc Anthony is scheduled to perform two concerts in Venezuela on April 4th and 5th, but he will not be visiting that country alone. The singer told the Venezuelan newspaper El Universal that he will be arriving with his wife Jennifer López, 38, and their twins by his side. “*

New York Latin trio DLG () returns, with new singer

Filed under [ Hispanic News ] [ Musica ] [ Blogante Entertainment ]
Tags: , , , ,

“In 1996, Grammy Award-winning producer Sergio George, riding high on the success of Marc Anthony, came up with a novel concept for a pop/tropical group: two singers and a rapper, all Dominicans and Puerto Ricans from New York. Their name? DLG, an abbreviation for Dark Latin Groove.

“I thought there was a void of dark-skinned Latinos doing music,” says George, who is a black Hispanic. “So, I made a group with three ugly black dudes,” he says with a laugh.

The idea was groundbreaking. At the time there was no reggaeton, no “hurban” stations, no Latino-focused television channels like mun2 or MTV Tr3s and virtually no concept at all of Latin hip-hop or rap.”*
