Meredith Hispanic Ventures Will Relaunch Espera and 12 Meses Under the Ser Padres Umbrella

Tomas — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 20:02:11 +0000

"Meredith Corporation (NYSE: MDP) announced today that Espera, the magazine for expectant mothers, and 12 Meses, focused on the first 12 months of life, will be re-launched under the Ser Padres umbrella. The Meredith Hispanic Ventures titles will be renamed Ser Padres Espera and Ser Padres Bebe, respectively, starting in April 2009. Alberto Oliva, editor-in-chief of Ser Padres and author of the books Magazines that Make History (University Press of Florida, 2004) and In Vogue: The Illustrated History of the World's Most Influential Fashion Magazine (Rizzoli, 2006), and his team will oversee the editorial direction of each magazine, a responsibility previously held by sister publication Siempre Mujer's team.

"This is a natural and critical evolution for Meredith Hispanic Ventures," commented Ruth Gaviria, executive director of Meredith Hispanic Ventures. "Meredith acquired Espera and 12 Meses with American Baby from Prime Media in 2002. Since then, we have acquired and re-launched Ser Padres and launched Siempre Mujer, the leading lifestyle and service magazine for women. Now, Espera and 12 Meses will capitalize on the 18-year brand equity of Ser Padres. Our content portfolio now reaches one in three Hispanic moms in the United States."

Ser Padres Espera will be published three times a year (spring, summer and fall/winter issues) -- up from twice a year -- and will also increase its annual circulation by 35% to 1.05 million expectant mothers. The title will continue to be distributed through OB-GYN offices as a standalone magazine. Ser Padres Bebe will continue to be distributed in maternity wards through sampler bags, with a yearly circulation of 600,000, and will be perfect bound. Both titles will reflect the needs and aesthetic of the young Hispanic expectant or first-time mother.

Meredith Hispanic Ventures will also launch Mimosblog.com, a blog by the editors of Ser Padres that addresses the pre and post natal concerns of Hispanic mothers up to their child's pre-teen years. The blog, launching August 4, will seek to create a community of women with interactive features like "My Favorite Photo" and "The Things They Say!," popular features in Ser Padres magazine. Mimosblog.com will navigate bilingually in Spanish, English and Spanglish, reflecting the language preferences of this young Hispanic mom.

"There has been 82% growth in unique Spanish-preferred Hispanic visitors to blogs and many of those turn to blogs for informational purposes or to stay in touch with friends and family and meet new peers," explained Oliva. "Mimosblog.com will be the online hub for Hispanic moms, where they can share their concerns, tips and advice and receive immediate feedback from women just like them. We know that one in three babies will be born to a Hispanic woman in the U.S. in the next decade and it remains our mission to educate, inspire and support them through many media platforms." "

The Wanderer: A distinguished speaker…of Spanglish – Ilan Stavans, a prolific author and professor at Amherst College

tomasz — Thu, 22 May 2008 16:00:14 +0000

"Yo quiero Taco Bell. It takes quite a bit of skill to provoke deep thinking about what may have been one of the most inanely addictive advertising campaigns of all time.

But for Ilan Stavans, a prolific author and professor at Amherst College, Spanglish — the mix of English and Spanish used by immigrant communities and increasingly in popular culture — is a source of fascination. Spanglish, Stavans thinks, is a “cultural phenomenon.”

“With Latinos, there is something unique taking place,” Stavans told us this week as a visiting distinguished speaker to the Stanford center in Santiago. “Instead of losing [the immigrant language], it is becoming stronger.” The retention of Spanish in the U.S., and the Spanglish that is resulting, is so important, Stavans said, that Toyota is using it to sell cars. In a recent ad for hybrids, a bi-lingual father alternates between talking to his son in English and Spanish as he explains how the car works, concluding that hybrids, both of cars and language, are “for the future.”"

Hispanic Museums and Memorial Day – Advertising Age – The Big Tent

tomasz — Thu, 22 May 2008 13:13:57 +0000

"I was perusing Hispanic Tips' Blogante News when an article from La Prensa San Diego jumped out at me. The headline read: "Bush Signs Legislation for National Museum of the American Latino."

My first reaction was a sense of pride and a desire to show all kinds of support. After all, shouldn't there be a National Museum of the American Latino? Then, I started to hear voices. Not the multiple personality kind of voices, but rather the voices of non-profit board and committee members from several other Latino museum projects that either have opened or have tried to open throughout the U.S. over the past decade or two.

"A few weeks ago, the U.S. Census Bureau released updated data on the size and makeup of the U.S. Hispanic population. The statistics show that this demographic now comprises more than 45 million consumers. The magnitude of the number speaks for itself, but what concerns me is the idea of falling short on the promise that is made to existing and prospective clients.

Obviously, the rationale behind targeting Hispanics is to tap into this treasure trove of 45 million consumers with incredible buying power. Yet, when one looks at the strategies and programs that are planned and executed against the segment, they fall short on their ability to reach all 45 million. It seems to me that this is because of how the market has always been perceived, thought about and, most important, sold. "

FIRST LATIN ALTERNATIVE ROCK FEST IN NORCAL – The Brown Note Latin Rock Project is pleased to partner with The Mission Creek Music & Arts Festival in presenting CONVERGENCE

Tomas — Tue, 06 May 2008 14:39:30 +0000

"San Francisco, CA MAY 6, 2008 - CONVERGENCE will showcase the most progressive Latin alternative bands and artists whose music challenges and provokes the listener. This mini festival within a festival will present three consecutive concerts with genres of Latin alternative ranging from Noise to Punk to Indie, Reggae and New Wave. . The Latin Alternative Rock scene in Northern California has been developing and growing steadily for years, yet there has been no festival exclusively showcasing this genre until now. CONVERGENCE will be the first Latin Alternative rock concert series to do this. The goals of CONVERGENCE will be to: • Support emerging local talent • Firmly establish continuous Latin Alternative Rock programming in Northern California • Encourage collaborations and foster community amongst all alternative and independent rock artists locally, nationally and internationally. • Introduce new Latin Alternative Rock “Buzz” bands ABOUT MISSION CREEK MUSIC and ARTS FESTIVAL Mission Creek was founded in 1996, as an effort to promote local Bay Area music and eventually other forms of art that now include film, dance, visual arts, literature, and multimedia performance. Local Bay Area musician/artist Jeff Ray founded the festival in order to fill a cultural void that existed in San Francisco. Until Mission Creek was created, there was no known festival that promoted Bay Area musicians and artists. Now in its 12th year, the festival has grown tremendously in size and attendance, from a one-day event with eight bands and an audience of approximately 100 to a multi-day event with up to 180 acts, serving an audience of approximately 3,000. Twelve years and over 600 events later, MCMAF has reliably featured a wide range of Bay Area talent, and has introduced many local musicians who have since achieved international acclaim. After more than a decade of unrivaled programming, MCMAF has become a destination for both national and international talent. THE ARTISTS – CONVERGENCE I – “THE BRIGHT SPOT” Volumen Cero has been at the forefront of Latinos that perform nontraditional music. In 2004, Volumen Cero became one of the first Latin Alternative groups ever to be profiled on MTV’s Advance Warning, which aired on MTV and MTV2. In 2005, Volumen Cero received Latin Grammy Nominations for best rock album by a duo or group for their critically acclaimed album Estelar and guitarist Marthin Chan was also nominated for best rock song, as writer for JD Natasha’s “Lagrimas.” With the release of their third album Estelar, the band’s first single “Autos” spent over 10 weeks in the #1 spot and 20 weeks in the top 3 of R&R’s Latin Rock Chart. The band is currently putting the finishing touches on, I CAN SEE THE BRIGHT SPOT, their fourth studio album set to released mid-2008. The May Fire: San Francisco has done it again. Once more the great city by the Bay has fashioned a musical product worth buzzing over. Right And Wrong has captured and liberated local listeners with sassy songs and adrenaline filled choruses, which echo that of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs Fever To Tell. Their liveliness has been compared to that of Metric and it’s quite apparent that there’s no end in sight for the young band. – Zero Magazine Monte Negro: You are what you eat.† Monte Negro, a bilingual Los Angeles based rock band, has devoured enough music genres over the years to do justice to the bilingual and bicultural musicians that constitute the group.† Digesting healthy portions of Jane’s Addiction, The Cure, The Clash, and the Sex Pistols, Monte Negro has also piled onto its proverbial plate Latin-alternative rockers such as Caifanes, Los Fabuloso Cadillacs, Maldita Vecindad, Mano Negra, Soda Stereo, and Spinetta.† As with any good meal, Monte Negro combines sophisticated taste influences with unique combinations of flavor, and stews it all together with time and a pinch of luck. Lualta: "In 2002, local sextet Lualta received a San Diego Music Award nomination for "Best New Artist." After one listen to the band’s latest, five-song EP "Catapult" (Red Camera Recordings), it is immediately evident why. Lualta creates a kaleidoscope of layered styles and textures that is simultaneously engaging and sedating. Songs tend to start out light and easy before exploding into an electrifying fusion of psychedelic, R&B and garage rock. Hazy, druggy guitars mutate into down-and-dirty, pedal-heavy hooks and melt with tender, melodic keyboards. Lualta’s solid instrumentation, combined with lead singer Michael Hernandez’s pleasantly screechy, cigarette-scorched vocals, induces hypnotic reverie then jerks you awake."-Claire Caraska, SignOn San Diego THE ARTSTS – CONVERGENCE II - HEAT Bat Makumba: The brainchild of Brazilian natives Alex Koberle and Emiliano Benevides and Americano bassist Carl Remde, Bat Makumba is the crossroads between the equatorial beats of Brazil and the punk, rock and funk influences of the U.S. and Europe. Locals to San Francisco, Bat Makumba’s show is a hip renegade carnaval party full of tropicalia tinged ska, punk influenced forro, and rock infused samba. Bat Makumba’s live show brings together an international palette of musicians and instrumentation (including accordion, zabumba, megaphone, clarinet and alfaia). Named after the 70s classic Tropicalia song by Caetano Veloso + Gilberto Gil (popularized by Os Mutantes), "Bat Makumba" loosely translates to mean the mixing of Brazilian traditionalism with international pop culture. Don’t miss this kinetic, percussive music... join the renegade carnaval party that is Bat Makumba! Chana: Influenced as much by Stereolab and Gorillaz as by Aterciopelados and Julieta Venegas, Chana is an LA-based singer whose tropical sound could be described as global hip-pop. Born in New York City and reared by a party-loving Dominican family, her father's salsa and R&B records were a sonic constant while growing up. After coming to LA, Chana began collaborating with producer Marthin Chan, whose previous work with Volumen Cero had earned him a Latin Grammy nomination. Working out of Chan's garage in Echo Park, the duo began collaborating in 2005, and were aided by friend Jorge Elbrecht of the New York art collective Lansing-Dreiden. Their first batch of demos includes "No Me Mandes Flores," which sounds like Andrea Echeverri fronting a funk band; "A Veces," whose swampy sonics and bouncy bass give off a dub feel; and "Icaro," a jagged, thrilling rush of pop. The Cuban Cowboys: Mixing traditional Cuban Son and Montuno with indie rock ain't easy. But it is a blast. The Cuban Cowboys bring post-punk sensibilities straight to the heart of the Buena Vista Social club. Armed with mambo riffs, swooning surf guitar, and intelligent lyrics, the band is steadily building a following along both U.S. coasts."Without a doubt, the Cuban Cowboys put on one of the best shows in the local pop scene" says the NY Daily News. Velorio: The energy of the live shows, the variety of the songs, and the diversity of the audience all reflect the many praxes of Velorio the band.† Velorio manifests the linguistic power of music to unite people, tongues and ideas. THE ARTISTS – COVERGENCE III - CRASH Firme: Firme (pronounced “Fear-May”) has been energizing crowds across California for 10 years, honing their distinct sound. Firme’s trademark sound often slides seductively from rock, to reggae, to Latin, and bring you back full circle. No Way Jose: No Way Jose is a Southern California punk band that has been building a buzz in the LA music scene. NWJ mixes their Southern California punk, Tex-Mex, and Mexican-American influences to create their own sound they call "Spanglish Punk." The Graves Brothers Deluxe: Bela Lugosi and Elvis Presley both died on Stoo Odom's birthday. (This is true.) The GRAVES BROTHERS DELUXE, disembodied musical spirits from Hattiesburg, Mississippi, thus chose Odom eagerly when looking for host bodies to express themselves. New Orleans native/ bassist/ vocalist/ recovering archaeologist Odom shares the current possessÈe duties with San Franciscans Willy the Mailman and Marco Villalobos. Sergio Iglesias and the Latin Love MACHINE: “Armed with a toilet plunger and a rotating band of musicians, Sergio Iglesias is here to ruin the party. Maybe you've seen Sergio Iglesias and Los Magnificos fill the Hemlock Tavern with a joyful, festive cacophony. Or caught Sergio Iglesias and Los Bulliciosos nearly destroy the City College of San Francisco campus. If you were lucky, you might've seen Iglesias with his signature plunger and a tape player perform solo in and outside the Civic Center, Powell, and Montgomery BART stations, wailing atop trash cans, plunging the ground, and bewildering tourists and locals alike. But even if you did see all these shows, you still never know what to expect except to be surprised.” –-Sarah Han - SF Bay Guardian CALENDAR EDITORS PLEASE NOTE: EVENT FAST FACTS • Event: The Brown Note Latin Rock Project in partnership with The Mission Creek Music and Arts Festival Presents: CONVERGENCE • Venue: Balazo 18 Gallery – 2183 Mission Street, San Francisco, CA 94110 • Dates: Friday July 18, 2008 through Sunday July 20, 2008 • Times: Friday through Saturday: Doors 8pm Show 8:30pm Sunday Matinee: Doors 4:00pm Show 4:30 • Convergence Festival Schedule:

On Local Radio, an Accent on Spanglish – Rocio Trujillo on WBON 98.5 FM, La Nueva Fiesta in New York City

"ROCIO TRUJILLO, a disc jockey known as Cio Babee, presses a button on the studio switchboard and begins a two-minute gossip report. In high-energy delivery that is two parts Spanish and one part English, she informs her radio audience this January day about the Spanish actor Javier Bardem’s recently announced Oscar nomination.

What is noticeably missing from her Hollywood update, though, is the death of the actor Heath Ledger two days before. It seems every media outlet in the nation is covering it except this one: WBON 98.5 FM, La Nueva Fiesta.

“My listeners probably wouldn’t even know who he is,” Ms. Trujillo, 24, says of Mr. Ledger."

‘Interlingual’ poet to visit Park University – Brenda Cardenas – Kansas City

"From culture to language to music, Brenda Cardenas has learned to straddle some pretty sizable divides.

Cardenas is bringing her brand of cross-cultural poetry to Park University. She will read and perform her work at 6:30 p.m. today in the school’s Graham Tyler Memorial Chapel. The event is free and open to the public.

Raised in a Latino community in Milwaukee, Cardenas developed a unique and often startling blend of Spanish and English. Some critics have described it as “Spanglish.” She’s fine with that term, though personally uses other words to define her art."

Saying ‘Adios’ To Spanglish – Growing up, I wanted nothing to do with my heritage. My kids made me see how wrong that was.

Tomas — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 21:29:57 +0000

"Niños, vengan a comer. my 18-month-old son pops out from behind the couch and runs to his high chair. My 7-year-old has no idea what I just said. He yells out from the same hiding spot: "What did you say?" My older son does not suffer from hearing loss. He is simply not bilingual like his brother, and did not understand that I was telling him to come eat.

Growing up in the poorest neighborhoods of El Paso, Texas, I did everything I could to escape the poverty and the color of my skin. I ran around with kids from the west side of town who came from more-affluent families and usually didn't speak a word of Spanish. I spoke Spanish well enough, but I pretended not to understand it and would not speak a word of it. In school, I refused to speak Spanish even with my Hispanic friends. I wanted nothing to do with it. While they joined Chicano clubs, all I wanted to do was be in the English literacy club. Even at home, the only person to whom I spoke Spanish was my mom, and that's only because she wouldn't have understood me otherwise."
