Más Sobre Willy Chirino
Con un inventario musical que supera el centenar de canciones y veintiocho discos grabados, Willy Chirino es sin duda uno de los artistas más emblemáticos de la música tropical de todos los tiempos, uno de los padres del “sonido de Miami” y el dueño y señor de la “salsa de Miami”. Sus éxitos se convirtieron inmediatamente en discos de oro y/o platino. Eso, sin citar las ventas logradas por los más de 60 artistas que han reproducido sus temas que, con merecida razón, le han dado vuelta al mundo. Chirino llegó a Miami en 1961 donde sin ningún conocimiento musical integró una orquesta que se convirtiera en el alma de muchas fiestas. Aún en la escuela secundaria aprendió a tocar otros instrumentos (bajo, teclados, guitarra, entre otros). Sin leer música, tocó en orquestas de cámara, sinfónicas, acompañó óper! as y zarzuelas. Pronto su nombre y talento lo llevaron a tocar en las presentaciones de los más grandes de los 60’s. Álvarez Guédes le ofreció su primer contrato y le grabó su primer disco: “One Man Alone”. Todas las canciones eran temas compuestos por él y casi todos los instrumentos los tocaba él mismo. El disco fue un éxito tan rotundo que le dio la vuelta al mundo y el tema “Soy” se convirtió en un clásico de la música tropical y hasta el día de hoy se sigue reproduciendo en otros idiomas, incluido el japonés. Desde entonces el genio e ingenio de Willy Chirino no han dejado de impactar el pentagrama musical del mundo. Muchos de sus temas se han convertido en himnos de esperanza para millones de personas sometidas a tiranías políticas mientras que otros pintan musicalmente un paisaje rural difícil de superar, o presentan una problemática so! cial digna de meditar. Su música llegó a las telenovelas y compuso para 3 de ellas: “La Zulianita”, “Pobre Diabla” y  “Laura Virginia”. De la mano de su carrera como cantautor, también ha destacado como productor, llegando a realizar importantes proyectos para leyendas de la música mundial como Celia  Cruz, Raphael y Oscar D’León. Entre los incontables reconocimientos recibidos vale citar que cuenta con su propia estrella en la Calle 8, tiene además una calle que lleva su nombre y que entidades como la UNICEF y el Departamento de Estado de Estados Unidos le han dado importantes reconocimientos por su labor humanitaria, ya que además de un artista exitoso, Willy Chirino es un filántropo inagotable que tiene su propia fundación benéfica. En el 2008 estrena un nuevo disco: “Pa’lante”. Se trata de un material histórico en el que hace mancuerna con los m! ás grandes de la canción: desde una colaboración con los mejores de la salsa (Celia Cruz, Víctor Manuelle, Issac Delgado, Oscar De León, Gilberto Santa Rosa) llamada “Los Campeones de la Salsa”, Papo Lucca (”Fue La Música”), Alberto Plaza (”Pa’lante”),  y un par de dúos históricos: uno con Oscar D’León (”Lo Que Esta Pa’ti”) y el otro con Daniela Mercury (”Hay Amores”). Y, por supuesto, un tema de esperanza y alivio a los millones de ciudadanos que por una razón u otra les ha tocado vivir en el exilio (”13 de Julio- El Mar Nos Une”), el tema que le apasiona y dedica especialmente a los cubanos de dentro y fuera de su patria. En “Pa’lante”, Willy Chirino vuelve a fusionar diferentes ritmos americanos, latinos y brasileños, con mensajes políticos y sociales, temas de amor y, sobre todo, canciones de optimismo, ese sentimiento! que le apasiona y que se ha convertido en su enorme bandera por la vida.

Bud Light Celebrates 30 Years of Calle Ocho

Filed under [ Hispanic News ] [ Press Releases ]
Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

“Bud Light and the Anheuser-Busch family of distributors are joining to celebrate the 30-year anniversary of Calle Ocho through a retail promotion benefiting the Kiwanis Club of Little Havana’s Scholarship Fund. The promotion runs through March 16, the day of the Calle Ocho Festival.

Bud Light and the Anheuser-Busch distributors of South Florida are donating 25 cents per case for every Budweiser, Bud Light and Budweiser Select 18-pack of bottles and cans sold at Sedano’s Supermarkets throughout South Florida. The money will go to the Kiwanis Club of Little Havana Scholarship Fund to help support Hispanic higher education in South Florida.

“Calle Ocho began in 1978 as a block party to celebrate the Cuban culture in Miami and has become a global festival that attracts hundreds of thousands to South Florida and makes a difference in the community,” said Dr. Ricardo Gonzalez, president of the Kiwanis Club of Little Havana. “Anheuser-Busch was one of our first sponsors, and their support is one of the reasons Calle Ocho has grown into the event it is today.”

Since the beginning of the festival, Anheuser-Busch has brought top Latino musicians to Calle Ocho, making its Musical Super Site one of the festival’s most popular attractions. Artists such as Celia Cruz, Willy Chirino, Hector Lavoe and El Gran Combo have appeared on the stage. This year, the Bud Light Musical Super Site will be located between S.W. 23rd Avenue and S.W. 24th Avenue at S.W. Eighth Street, and entertainment will begin at noon on March 16. The 2008 lineup features Grammy winning Cuban singer and composer Albita Rodriguez, Grammy Award and Latin Grammy Award-nominated singer La India and Venezuelan salsa musician Oscar D’ Leon. The concerts will be free and open to the public.

“For generations, Anheuser-Busch has been active in the Latino community as part of our tradition of giving back to the communities where we live and work,” said Paco Bendaña, director of community relations, Anheuser-Busch, Inc. “We’re proud to partner with the Kiwanis of Little Havana to support higher education and celebrate Latino culture through Calle Ocho.”

To celebrate Calle Ocho’s 30-year anniversary, Anheuser-Busch also sponsored the documentary “Calle Ocho – 30 Years and Counting.” The documentary will air as a television special on PBS in South Florida in April and nationally during Hispanic Heritage Month in October. The documentary showcases Calle Ocho through the decades with historical photos and news clips of the eras.

“We’re pleased to partner with Anheuser-Busch to support a great festival and a very important cause. The Kiwanis club of Little Havana has provided educational opportunities to so many South Florida students over the years through their Scholarship Foundation, and we’re please to share in that success by participating in this promotion.” said Javier Herran, director of marketing, Sedano’s Supermarkets.

Anheuser-Busch’s support of the Latino community dates back more than a century. The company supports approximately 400 community-based, local and national Latino organizations with contributions totaling nearly $52 million during the past two decades. Anheuser-Busch also currently sponsors the Mexican National Soccer Team and Chivas Soccer as well as top entertainers like Carlos Mencia. Anheuser-Busch’s efforts in the Latino community focus on values such as education, leadership development, economic empowerment, public advocacy and arts and culture. As a result, the company has the No. 1 and No. 2 beer brands in the Latino market — Bud Light and Budweiser. To learn more about these efforts, please visit www.Latinobud.com. “*

Complete programming information for XM’s Hispanic Heritage Month lineup, including detailed broadcast schedules, is available online at www.xmradio.com/latino .

In September 1968, Congress authorized President Lyndon B. Johnson to proclaim National Hispanic Heritage Week. The observance was expanded in 1988 to a month-long celebration (Sept. 15 – Oct. 15) during which America celebrates the culture and traditions of U.S. residents who trace their roots to Spain, Mexico and the Spanish-speaking nations of Central America, South America and the Caribbean. Sept. 15 was chosen as the starting point for the celebration because it is the anniversary of independence of five Latin American countries: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. In addition, Mexico and Chile celebrate their independence days on September 16 and 18, respectively.
