ANDY MONTAEZ:50 Plus UNA HISTORIAEN CONCIERTOApril 18th-New York, USALehman Center for the Performing Arts is proud to present The Godfather of Salsa, the legendary ANDY MONTAEZ:50 Plus Una historia en concierto as he celebrates more than fifty years of performances on Saturday, April 18th, 2015 at 8pm. Produced by Lehman Center and Jos Raposo.

ANDY MONTAEZ, nicknamed El Godfather de la Salsa and known for his rich, powerful vocals, was the first-born of 17 children in the Tras Talleres area of Santurce, San Juan, Puerto Rico. He gained inter-national popularity during his 15-year tenure (1962-1976) as lead vocalist of the legendary salsa group El Gran Combo, producing 37 albums that included such hit songs as Hojas blancas, Un verano en Nueva York, El barbero loco, Ponme el alcoholado Juana, El swing, Julia, and Vagabundo. In 1977 he replaced Oscar DLen in the popular Venezuelan orchestra La Dimensin Latina, recording eight al-bums in three and a half years that included hits like

El eco del tambor, Ave Mara Lola, Mi bambo-laye, Mi son oriental. Rumberos de ayer, Cuban Rhythms, and Son del boho. During this same period, Montaez contributed vocals to the three su-perb Puerto Rico All Stars salsa albums Puerto Rico All Stars (1977), Los profesionales (1978) which in-cluded his soulful rendition of Aqu en mi pueblo, and 1979s Tribute to Messiah which was dedicated to Eddie Palmieri.

Returning to Puerto Rico in 1980, Montaez formed his own orchestra and released the popular album Salsa con cach. 1981 to 1984 was a very prolific peri-od that saw five new album releases including 1984s Verstil with hits like Qui, qui and Villaran Cuen-ca. 1985s Andy Montaez was a game changer not only because it was on the BillboardTropical chart for 30 weeks, reaching number 2 with hits like Genio y figura, Payaso and Dulce veneno, but because it was the first of many albums that would featured

Fol-lowing up with two additional chart topping albums 1987s Mejor acompaado que nunca (#2) and 1988s El eterno enamorado (#4), Montaez secured his place amongst the legends of Salsa. Throughout the 90s he continued to record one successful album af-ter another, earning his orchestra the nickname Dy-nasty Montaez when his daughter Ednaliz joined the chorus. During this period, he also recorded three albums of boleros and Bohemian songs with fellow Salsa great Ismael Miranda: Al son del bolero (1996), Romnticos de nuevo (1997) and Con alma de nio (1998). In 2005, he again joined up with Ismael Mi-randa to record the hit song Se fue y me dej.

A pioneer of the blend of Salsa and Reggaetn called Salsatn, Montaez has collaborated with rappers Daddy Yankee and Julio Voltio. Montaez, and along with Pablo Milans, won the 2006 Latin GRAMMY Award for Best Traditional Tropical Album for AM/

Latin America is taking over Melbourne once again in a three-day dancing festival of performances, work-shops and parties. For the first time ever, the Mel-bourne Latin Festival (MLF) is moving to Jason Cole-mans Ministry of Dance in North Melbourne where performers and participants from around the world will share their greatest passion.

Leading Latin dancers from Norway, Sweden and Australia will strut their stuff both on the stage and as part of 30 dance workshops covering all styles from salsa to samba and for all levels from beginner to pro-fessional.

Cuban artist Greydis Liranza will bring the flavour of her home country to the Festival in a Cuban immer-sion course. Her 20 years of experience include film, television, theatre and music videos.

Swedens hottest exports, Zerjon & Nina, will bring their unique fusion of salsa and hip hop to Melbourne. Their Salsa Street Fusion has won international titles and was the first ever streetdance production in a Scandinavian Opera.

Nightly performances will see local, interstate and international artists bedazzle the crowds including Juan Carlos Ospina and Angela Fayth McCristal

2013 finalists for Australias Got Talent and World Champion finalists Ania and JT.

MLF Chairperson Natalie Montano said, Dance is a huge part of Latin Americas culture and our Festival enables visitors to experience that part of the world, whether as an active participant or as a spectator.

Were particularly excited about our new, more cen-tral venue at the avant-garde Ministry of Dance and we expect to see many smiles and sequins through-out the three days of our Latin extravaganza.

International DJs and live Latin bands will spice up the parties each night (18+) across three rooms so whether youre a lover of dance, looking to learn world-class skills, or a dancing wannabe, the Mel-bourne Latin Festival will have you dancing the night away.

REVIEW

A product of New York City and the excitement and turbulence of the 60s, the New Swing Sextet (NSS) made its professional debut at the New York Worlds Fair in 1965. The band was to become very popular in the United States and Latin America, including the Caribbean, as exponents of an innovative new sound that emerged in the mid-60s known as Latin Booga-loo.

Though the New Swing currently has 7 members, when the group first got together it was composed of 6 members (popularly called a Sextet). During that era (1960s), so many young musi-cians growing up in New York were exposed and influenced by rock-and-roll, pop, and soul music (in addition to Latin music) which, in our opinion, helped give birth to the latin boogaloo (which was in term related to the cha-cha-cha and guajira rhythms). Dur-ing the boogaloos peak years of popularity, there was also a slight decline in the popularity of mambo and salsa. But the young new bands of that era such as Willie Colon, Johnny Colon, the Lebron Brothers, Joe Bataan, Ricardo Ray and the Joey Pastrana Orchestra, as well as the New Swing Sextet, were responsible for

creating a young fresh, joyful yet rebellious sound. Though not as polished as the established latin bands of that era (Tito Puente, Eddie Palmieri, Machi-to, Joe Cuba etc.) it was raw, and different. The New Swing Sextet also supported many social and chari-table events of nascent character, such as The Young Lords Party (a legendary Newyorrican group in their own right) created by young, educated and brilliant neighborhood people committed to social justice and fighting for better housing and living standards for the people of El Barrio (Spanish Harlem) and the

Bronx. A long and great artis-tic story on stages and concert halls all over the world is born.

In 2015, New Swing Sextet cel-ebrates their 50th Anniversary with a worldwide audience ready for tours shows, dancing, and as usual, their unique style, sound and happiness. Latin

Jazz, Salsa and the Boogaloo all live.

How was the New Swing Sextet created?

NSS was created in 1964 and we first took the stage when we performed at the New York Worlds Fair in 1965. It was a wonderful time to be a young musi-

cian in New York City. Every neighborhood had latin dance halls and small clubs, and every neighborhood had a latin band (or many latin bands as in Spanish Harlem). Almost all of the clubs featured live music and many venues routinely featured 2 or 3 live bands a night. So in that era every teenage boy, and many girls, wanted to be in a latin band. We werent very good in the beginning but we were enthusiastic and determined to make music. It took two years to get our first recording deal (1967) and before you knew it, we were playing 4, 5 or 6 dates every week. We performed alongside Tito Puente, Machito & Graciela, Eddie Palmieri, the Joe Cuba Sextet, Johnny Pacheco, Ray Barreto, Willy Colon and Hector Lavoe, Johnny Co-lon, Joe Bataan, the Lebron Brothers, Ricardo Ray and Bobby Cruz, Orchestra Broadway, Orchestra Harlow, Pete Rodriguez etc. etc. etc. What an amazing musi-cal education we got and what a great and legendary fraternity of musicians we enjoyed being a part of.

After retiring in the late 1970s, why did NSS decide to get back together again? Why not 10 years be-fore or after? Who had the idea?

Euroson Latino Mxico

We really thought that the style of music we played was not popular anymore so we really had no inten-tion of getting back together. An old friend who was part of an organization that was having an annual reunion dance in Spanish Harlem asked if we would consider getting back together for just one night to perform at their event. We thought it would be fun and decided to do the event. That lead to another event and then another. We were happy performing once or twice a year until we met DJ Henry Knowles in 2003. Henry convinced us that people all over the world were requesting our music and that we should seriously consider continuing performing and re-cording another record.

Which are the differences between todays NSS and the original one, if any?

The old NSS actually split up in 1972 after 2 of the bandmembers were drafted into the armed services and our original lead singer (Pete Ortiz) returned back to his native Puerto Rico after his mother took ill. At that time we were playing 5-6 nights every week so


REVIEW

we had to quickly add new members and not miss a beat with our performance schedule. We were fortu-nate I would say that the musical style of both bands were very similar. In the era of the original NSS, boo-galoo was very popular so we played more boogaloo. The current version of the band plays more salsa, is a much better vocal band and is more musically versa-tile.

What are your favorite bands and influences?

Probably most of the bands mentioned above are among our favorites, but we were most influenced by the Joe Cuba Sextet and by Cal Tjader and his latin jazz quintet. After all, we were a vibe sextet. I think that over the years you can still hear the influence of Tjader and Joes Sextet in our music.

How many LPs/CDs have been recorded by New Swing Sextet and what do you believe has been your greatest musical successes as well as the great-est live performance?

The New Swing Sextet has recorded 6 studio re-cords. Our first recording entitled The Explosive New Swing Sextet under the Cotique Label was recorded it in 1967. It featured songs like our original record-ing of Vete Pa Ya, Monkey See, Monkey Do and Coquero. Our Second recording entitled A Taste of Spanish Harlem (1968) featured the New Swing and Revue (3 beautiful female vocalists who accompa-nied the band for the album) and featured songs like Belinda and our original recordings of El Bongo and The Monster. In 1969 we recorded our Swing-ing Along album which included our signature song, My Favorite Things, Pico Swing, De Que te Quejas, El Nuevo Swing Les Toca and Think Drink (El Sil-bidito). In 1971 we reworded our final studio album under the Cotique Label Revolucionando which in-cluded El Tiroteo, Revolucionando and Requerdos de Rafael. After the long layoff of over 35 years, in 2008 we released our Grammy nominated Back on the Streets under the Fania Label, which included new recordings of El Bongo, El Tiroteo and The Monster as well as Bobo Tu Te Quedaras El Balcon and El Raton. In 2013 we released our latest record-ing Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow under our own

NSS Label which includes original recordings Maybe Then, Trabajador Social, No Puedo Mas, Somos El New Swing and new recordings of Vete Pa Ya, Revolucionando, and El Rajao as well as new NSS versions of the classic recordings La Loma de Belen and La Bien Paga. We have also been featured in over 20 other CD compilations, and have had a num-ber of our songs recorded by other artists. I think we all would agree (in no particular order) that our greatest musical achievements so far would be our Grammy nomination, our longevity, perform-ing in so many countries and having such a wide base of fans throughout the world, both young and old. We may not be world famous, butwe are certainly world known. Not everyone can say that...we are blessed and we know it. We have enjoyed performing in all corners of the world and have had so many memorable concerts, but the live performances that stand out are our shows with the legendary Cheo Feliciano and our performances in Krasnoyarsk, Siberia and in Cyprus...simply amazing!



What about Latin Jazz? You include it in your live repertoire too which makes you different than many other bands?

As we said earlier, one of our main influences came from Cal Tjader and his Latin Jazz Quintet. We do play many instrumentals in that style...we enjoy it and we think it shows.

The NSS has become one of the worlds most popu-lar salsa congress and festival bands. You have al-ready performed in the most important salsa con-gresses in the world: Los Angeles, New York, Athens, Zurich, Germany, Israel, Cyprus etc. There are very few bands that are as popular in the premier salsa congresses in the world. Is there any reason for it?

I think people are fascinated by the fact that we are together again after so many years in retirement and the fact that our new CD was nominated for a Gram-my Award. Thats pretty amazing considering that the last recording before Back on the Streets was in 1971.

We also cannot underestimate the fact that so many DJs all over the world constantly play our music. In addition to that, we are a small band which means that promoters do not have to fly a big orchestra to their event (which means less airfare, hotels, meals and transportation costs). So in the long run it makes NSS an attractive and affordable band for national and international travel. Whatever the reason, were hoping it has something to do with the quality of the music. In either event we are very grateful.

What do you think of salsa congresses?

We absolutely love salsa congresses. Theyre like mini-vacations built around salsa music. You make new friends, reunite with old friends, see great per-formances, visit exciting countries all over the world and usually wish they would never end. Its a won-derful experience for all the performers and people in attendance.

What is the difference between NSS and other salsa bands?

There are many wonderful salsa bands on the scene today. I personally think that its because we play ex-actly the way we played 50 years ago (only better), and how many bands in any genre are still playing after 50 years...not many. In addition, we really love what we do and there is also a hunger for classic old-school salsa by todays global salsa enthusiasts.

Nominated for a Grammy (and not just a Latin Grammy), what does it mean to you and dont you think this award can be expanded to recognize not only well known latin artists?

As you can imagine, being nominated for a Grammy by the National Association of Recording Arts & Sci-ences (NARAS) was very humbling and a wonderful achievement of recognition for us.

Even though we didnt win the Grammy, we will for-ever be known as Grammy nominees, an accomplish-ment that many great artists never get to achieve. As far as the second part of your question, I dont know that the Grammys need to be expanded to include

Hamburg


REVIEW

NSS promo picture



less known artists, as we certainly fell in that catego-ry, but we do believe that they need to be increased to include more categories and styles of latin music.

A new CD is released this year, this work remains true to your roots or any change occurs?

We are in the pre-production stage and still molding the type of record we want to put out. Considering that this recording commemorates our 50th anni-versary, we may dig back into our roots growing up New York City and its cultural diversions for inspira-tion and sprinkle some of that into the new CD. So the new production will have some variety but it will also include a few instrumentals, more english lan-guage vocals featuring the unique voicings of Angel Justiniano and of course the salsa dura interpreta-tions that we and our lead latin vocalist, Cheo Medina are known for.

Tell us a bit more about the 50th Anniversary Tour, what does it mean to New Swing Sextet?

Not many artists are fortunate enough to span 50 years and still be relevant in their particular cosen field, so we are thrilled to be in this position, espe-cially when so many of our new fans dont even know weve been around for 50 years. Believe it or not, many of them think that were just a hot new band. That is so cool.

What people, public and promoters, should expect from this Tour?

We will be performing and introducing material from the new CD. Also, the possibility of a guest artista or two, during this tour, is very possible.

Being such an important celebration, who is going to organize it and why have you have decided to do it this way?

It is going to be a very important year for us and or-ganizing a tour like this will take a great deal of time, preparation, planning, execution and promotion. If we did all of this on our own we wouldnt have time left to write and make music. To this end, were very

excited and fortunate to have been able to partner with Cat 7 Productions in Spain. They will be booking and organizing all of our tours. If you need informa-tion or wish to book the band please feel free to visit us at www.cat7productions.com for more informa-tion or via email: [email protected] or [email protected]

Finally, after 50 years of giving rhythm and joy to so many people...The legend continues?How do you see NSS in the future and what are your short term goals?

We see NSS continuing to perform and create studio recordings for at least another 10 years. After perform-ing in so many countries and continents we would love to play in places we have never had the privilege of visiting. Africa, South America, Cuba, Tokyo, Aus-tralia and New Zealand come to mind. We would love to do collaborations and special projects with other artists and it would be amazing to be nominated and win some Grammys. As far as short term goals go they all begin and end with our 50th year of music.

It has been a real privilege to sit with these guys. To sit with living legends through their unique and inimitable view of Latin Jazz, Salsa and more. If you are a fan, or in the music business and would like to take advantage of this amazing opportunity to have the New Swing Sextet perform their magic and give you the very best of tropical latin music at your fes-tival, concert, or dance event, please visit Cat 7 Pro-ductions www.cat7productions.com email them at: [email protected] or [email protected]

Posteriormente viaja a Puerto Rico y conoce a Lus Enrique y Tony Vega en una improvisada descar-ga musical donde se encontraba el Sr. ngel Carrasco ejecutivo de Sony Music, quien al escucharla decide proponerle un contrato con el sello.

En 1995, tras mucha preparacin, sale al mercado su primer traba-jo como solista titulado Trina Medina, el cual fue grabado en su totalidad en Puerto Rico. La acogida y el respeto adquirido fue tal que Trina logra hacer un segundo disco Entrega. Se pase libre y vo-calmente desde el absoluto desamor con los temas T me la pagars y Hablando sola, para luego refir-marse en sus convicciones con el ritmo de No digo mentiras, y as llegar solvente para exponer que la alegra de redimirse puede ser a travs de Una Gota

de sal.

Debido a su xito, una reco-nocida empresa mundial de bebidas espumantes la con-trata para ser la voz de su campaa publicitaria en el mercado puertorriqueo.

Fue tanta la aceptacin que los ejecutivos deciden transmitirla en Miami y

New York para el pblico latino. Estando en Puerto Rico y La ciudad de los rascacielos Trina comparte escenario con grandes orquestas y personalidades, entre ellas: La Orquesta de la luz, El Gran Combo, Is-mael Miranda, Cheo Feliciano, La India y Willie Coln; a este ltimo lo acompa en una gira de conciertos por Philadelphia. El Grupo Vera la invita a grabar un tema en el disco para celebrar su 20 aniversario en 1998, en el que Trina comparte con Simn Daz.

Trina, consecuente con la generacin a la que per-tenece, ha desarrollado una particularidad escnica que subraya con su fuerza vocal, logrando diferen-ciarse radicalmente de su herencia artstica. Y logran-do conseguir una identificacin propia, que le ha dado un nombre respetado y admirado a lo largo de varias generaciones.

Tambin ha dejado su huella musical impresa en el celuloide, participando acertadamente en las pro-ducciones cinematogrficas: Piel del director Os-car Lucin; La voz del corazn de Carlos Oteyza. Ha sonorizado A la media noche y media de Mariana Rondn y Marit Ugs; la produccin audiovisual ex-perimental Sugar Free de Pepe Lpez & Carlos Sosa; y recientemente Una abuela virgen de Olegario Ba-rrera, la cual result ganadora en el Festival Nacional Cine Mrida 2007, obteniendo igualmente el Premio Municipal de la Cultura del mismo ao en el rengln Mejor Msica Original por el trabajo realizado por Tri-na.

A la par de su actividad musical desarroll durante seis aos, una sostenida accin gerencial como Sub-directora de Cultura de la Universidad Central de Ve-nezuela, aportando su lmpido criterio artstico a la Casa que vence las sombras.

En 2004 Trina enfrenta las cmaras al aceptar el nuevo reto de actriz, interpretando al personaje Felicidad, en el dramtico de Radio Caracas Televisin, titulado Negra consentida, donde dej clara evidencia de su versatilidad artstica, su impecable trabajo en dicha produccin an se recuerda con beneplcito.

La riqueza musical de la salsa de Tri-na Medina vuelve al escucharse con la edicin de un nuevo disco: Tri-na Medina En Vivo tomado de su primer concierto en solitario en el Aula Magna de la UCV, donde par-ticipan invitados especiales de la talla de Carlos Nen Quintero, Carlos Puchi, Daniel Somaro, Francisco Rojas, Gerardo Lpez, Roy Louis, y Canelita Medina, entre otros, quienes la acompaan en temas tan emblem-ticos como Hablando Sola de Carlos Prez, Dur-mete de Trina Medina, Una gota de Sal de Lus Cruz por solo mencionar algunas. Tambin ofrece cuatro Medleys con temas muy conocidos de Frank Quinte-ro, Miguel Matamoros, Jhonny Pacheco, Grupo Man-go, ngel Cuco Pea. Este CD tiene la particularidad de ofrecer un bonus track (por cada uno de los CDs) el cual consiste en un video de Durmete y el Med-ley 3.

Trina Medina es una artista completa y as lo de-muestra en una nueva produccin donde destaca su participacin como arreglista y compositora ade-ms de cantante y productora del mismo. Se trata de Voces y msica del alma - Estoy como nunca, una impactante cartula, un extenso y hermoso recono-cimiento a msicos, personalidades, productores, y gente ligada a la vida de la diva negra, trae este CD, en el que ella est consciente de lo importante que es en la vida agradecer: Son gente que me han dado mucho, que merecen mi eterno reconocimiento, por eso los nombro a cada uno de ellos, gracias al apo-yo este disco es una realidad, dice humildemente y sin falsas poses. El discompacto trae trece temas y un bonus track de la cancin: Para vivir, el tema Puro teatro de la legendaria figura La Lupe a ritmo de re-ggae, respetando la meloda, pero dndole a esta, un toque de modernidad, que estamos seguros la des-aparecida estrella hubiera agradecido. Un disco que

tiene de todo, y para todos los gustos, una joya musi-cal de nuestra perla negra, de la intrprete de cancio-nes como: Madera Fina, Por estas calles, Hablando sola, y Una gota de sal, entre otras, que tanto agra-decemos los que amamos la msica, y admiramos suinfinito talento.

Todo espacio ser estrecho para concentrar la accin creativa de esta particular artista que da a da se re-nueva bifurcndose en diversos lenguajes con los que indudablemente llega a diferentes auditorios, porque ella no ha sido producto de un falso entari-mado, sino su propio pilar desde donde ha mante-nido una sostenida y coherente carrera que siempre nos asombra por su reinvento.

REVIEW

En 2014, Trina Medina lanza su nueva produccin dis-cogrfica: Claroscuro, en la que fusiona un sinfn de influencias (blues, jazz), sobre ritmos (salsa, tambores venezolanos), colores de la msica afroamericana, narrando en diez temas, nueve de su autora y uno de Jess Rosas Marcano, la historia de los diferentes estados emocionales que afloran en un ser humano cuando colapsan los sentimientos. Es su quinto l-bum, el tercero realizado independientemente (Ku-rramba Music C.A.), cuyos arreglos son en su mayora propios, salvo dos compartidos con Ricardo Landaeta y el curazoleo Roy Louis. A nivel tcnico la calidad tambin sobre sale en este disco al contar con la co-produccin, grabacin y mezcla del ganador de Latin Grammy Germn Landaeta, y el estadounidense Ber-nie Grundman.

Claroscuro, narra episodios de desencuentros, pa-siones, aoranzas, renacimiento y fe en el futuro, vis-to desde la perspectiva de un soador terrenal, visio-nario y genuino al mismo tiempo. Los protagonistas de esta historia se presentan en la forma de relacio-nes agotadas, cuya simbologa es la presentacin de la soledad y el renacer en todas sus manifestaciones; no es otra cosa que un manifiesto de soledad y fe. Igualmente incluye un do con su madre, la sonera venezolana Canelita Medina.

Claroscuro est disponible para descargar en iTu-nes, la tienda multimedia de Apple, a travs de la di-reccin: itunes.apple.com/ve/album/claro-oscuro/id946893334, otros discos de Trina disponibles en iTunes: itunes.apple.com/ve/artist/trina-medina/id324727520

Marco Izquierdo, conocido en el mundo artstico como Dr. Left, es un abogado nacido en la ciudad de Caracas, Venezuela, en 1975. Desde muy joven le llam la atencin el mundo artstico. A pesar de no tener cualidades vocales ni destreza con algn ins-trumento nunca se apart del mun-do artstico y frecuentaba conciertos, eventos musicales y hasta haca pe-queos trabajos de producciones en pelculas y eventos.

Una vez terminada la primaria, Marco Izquierdo, inici su carrera de Publi-cidad y Mercadeo en el Instituto Uni-versitario Tecnolgico Venezuela, la cual tuvo que abandonar en la ltima etapa de la carrera por la necesidad de abrir un negocio en la ciudad de Porlamar, Isla de Margarita.

Pocos aos despus la vocacin lleg! e inspirado por los maestros y abogados Jerry Mazzuchi y Rubn Bla-des inicia su carrera en leyes en la Universidad Santa Mara en Caracas, la que termina cinco aos despus. En el transcurso de sus estudios como abogado, labo-ra en un bufete de abogados de nombre Viera Blanco y Asociados, donde se encuentra y conoce (como l lo dice) LA NICA PROPIEDAD REAL QUE TENEMOS

MARCO IZQUIERDOLOS SERES HUMANOS: LA PROPIEDAD INTELECTUAL. Aqu entendi el valioso significado que tiene el re-gistro de propiedad intelectual para la raza humana y para el desarrollo de la ciencia.

Una vez graduado, inici estu-dios de post grado en Derecho Administrativo y Tributario en la misma Universidad Santa Mara. Culminando sus estudios, y en su actividad favorita de fin de sema-na, el softball, conoce al artista venezolano Mark Colina y ste le cuenta su proyecto musical con su hermano Kike Jhon. Marco, quien ya entenda muy bien de lo que se trataba el proyecto y lo ambicioso que era, se uni en asociacin con

el empresario Richard DNobrega, quien se mostr in-teresado en formar parte del equipo. Marco y Richard deciden crear el Sello Disquero Latin Underground Music C.A., la que an desarrolla la carrera artista de los hermanos Kike y Mark en Venezuela y tambin cumple con compromisos de representacin de al-gunos artistas internacionales.

Una vez terminada la produccin del primer disco de Kike y Mark, Venezuela pasaba por una presin pol-

tica tensa, desfavorable para el proyecto musical que ellos queran desarrollar. Marco Izquierdo, entendi la necesidad y obligacin que tena de sacar este pro-yecto artstico del pas e internacionalizarlo para ga-rantizar su continuidad. Sale del pas con su familia a la ciudad de Orlando, Florida, EEUU, donde reside actualmente.

Al poco tiempo de estar residenciado en esta ciudad, le da personalidad jurdica a su sello disquero en este pas y funda la Latin Underground Music llc. Una vez creada toda la base legal y financiera de esta empre-sa, se plantea la necesidad de una tarima digital para proyectar, distribuir y garantizar el pago de obras al talento artistico hispano de la regin. Con este obje-tivo, crea el sitio web www.latinumusic.com y se de-dica a desarrollar su proyecto musical disquero, por cuanto se propone convertir este espacio digital en el ms buscado por los artistas hispanos para el registro

y distribucin de sus obras a nivel mundial.

En esta vitrina musical, como l la llama, Marco Iz-quierdo desarrolla actividades de publisher, distribu-cin digital, representacin artstica, booking, licen-ciamiento con otros portales y/o blogs y promete ir incorporando nuevos servicios a la vanguardia de las necesidades musicales del mundo.

En vista del xito que ha tenido esta plataforma digi-tal, se han sumado personalidades del mundo arts-tico de casi 50 aos de carrera como la orquesta Los Satlites de Venezuela, quienes hoy forman parte de su cartera de clientes de esta empresa. Tambin una artista de gran trayectoria musical en Venezuela y La-tinoamrica como lo es Trina Medina. Igualmente ta-lentos jvenes en vas de crecimiento como la banda venezolana A lo Flamenko, el bachatero dominicano Yormonti, el vallenatero colombiano Alex Romero,

El mundo de la monetizacion digital musical es un tema innovador para nuestros artistas. El desarrollo de esta actividad demanda mucho tiempo y dedi-cacin, por esto, Marco Izquierdo recomienda a los artistas de hoy delegar esta actividad a empresas es-pecialidades en el rea y para que dediquen su tiem-po a la preparacin, organizacin y produccin de su actividad natural que es la difcil tarea del entreteni-miento.

Marco Izquierdo comenta: El mundo artstico de hoy, al igual que el deportivo, se ha convertido en una gran industria capaz de generar muchsimo dinero. Por ello, se debe crear un equipo de trabajo capaz de atender todas las necesidades de la industria. De la misma manera que el gran empresario delega funcio-nes en su departamento administrativo, de logstica, de finanzas, de atencin al cliente, etc., los artistas de hoy deben delegar funciones en otras personas que desarrollen estas actividades. Me he encontrado con artistas que pierden su valioso tiempo en registros y distribuciones, en vez de aprovecharlo en nuevas producciones, ensayos, fotografas, entrevistas y las miles de actividades que tienen a diario

Tengo elcompromiso,

por haber nacidoen esta era digital,

de coadyuvaren este mismo sentido con el

talento hispanoen el mundo.

The Mind of a Dancer Short Story Competition

A Writing Competition About Dancing! This competition is the result of combining two amazing kinds of arts, writing and dancing. The main purpose of the competi-tion is to explore the mind of a dancer, and giving a chance for all artists to express their feelings towards their ultimate passion, dancing, through words. The Mind of a dancer is a deep wide ocean that needs to be discovered by each and every indi-vidual on planet Earth.

The false stereotype about dancers needs to be broken!

For all you budding writers out there, spread the news far and wide around the world!

COMPETITION


By: Abir Yassin / Press Specialist / The Forgotten Writers Foundation


COMPETITION

The Mind of a Dancer Short Story Competition is about writing a short story where the protagonist is a dancer, and the purpose is to reveal how dancers from different cultures, backgrounds, social classes and gen-ders actually feel, think, and dream. It will be a chance to share their passion and views in life, men, women, fashion, politics, media etc. The competition can in-clude strippers too as a sort of art and dancing. The aim behind the competition is to break the false stereotype that dancers are just a facade, or a beautiful woman/man dancing just looking entertaining and beautiful or sexy or lustful, or that dancing is related to body weight, flexibilityetc. We can inspire writers to create new perceptions, and also allow dancers to reveal to the world who they really are, since apparently not every-one understand the language of dancing!

How many times per day have you daydreamt and imagined yourself dancing or singing? How many times per week do you ac-tually dance alone or with a part-ner? What does dancing mean to you!

Write a 1000-2500 word short story regarding the theme and kindly send it to us on:[email protected].

DEADLINE FOR ENTRIES: MAY 1, 2015The competition is open for two age categories (13-18 and 18+). Please while sending your stories include the following:Email Title: Age, Name, Country, Title of the Story.Email Body: Phone Number, Date of Birth, Profession/Study, Address.

The Mind of a Dancer Short Story Competition is founded and held by two artists who virtually met by chance and decided to blend their talents to create an inspirational and universal project through their orga-nizations The Forgotten Writers Foundation and Rush Studio of Dance. The two artists are writer Mahmoud Mansi from Egypt and dancer Heather Nesbit Harris from USA.

The winning stories from both categories will be pub-lished in one book under the name of the award, the authors, and the organizers.

The winners will also receive award certificates and will be announced online through www.rushstudioof-dance.com

Competition Guidelines:http://rushstudioofdance.com/rsd-with-forgot-ten-writers-foundation-story-writing-competi-ton/

Correct use of language (grammar, spellingetc).Creativity of the work.

About the Judges:Judges will be announced soon.

About the Organizers:The Forgotten Writers Foundation was founded by Mahmoud Mansi in 2011for the aim of globalizing Egyptian literature and inspiring global art. The Mind of a Dancer short story competition is the ninth competition launched by the foundation since 2011 and it is the

Method One of Four: Mastering the Basicsm.wikihow.com/Dance-Salsa

Start in the closed dance position. The lead takes his partners right hand in his left and places his right hand on her left

shoulder blade. The partner should keep her left hand on his right shoulder, with her arm over his.Or start in the hand-in-hand position. The lead has his palms facing upwards, and the partner takes his hands with

her palms down. This allows for more freedom of movement.

Have good posture. When dancing, you should always keep your spine straight, your chin up and your shoulders back. Your chest should naturally then puff out a bit.

Your body should be held with strength at all points.[1]Always look up. Keep your head held up or tilted to look at your partner. Do

not look at your feet or your partners. Looking at your feet is a dead giveaway that youre nervous and not sure what youre doing.

Keep your arms bent at a 90 degree angle from the elbows.[2] In this position,your hands are most easily accessible to your partner. Your arm should rest on

horizontal plane.

Move your hips. Most of the movement in the Salsa comes from the hips, so you will want to keep your hips loose. Dont be afraid to sway your hips. Even if youre just moving your foot, know that a slight hip movement goes along with it. If you move your right foot out, your

right hip juts out a bit, too.

Choose a song that has a 4/4 beat (four beats to the bar) and a fast tem-po[2]. Youll want music that lies somewhere between 160-220 beats

per minute.[3] Before you start a song, make sure that you can keep up with the speed and identify the beats for your steps.

Count as you listen to the song. If you count out the beats in the music, you will be able to find the Salsa beat and identify which

steps go with which beat. If you cant keep count while youre listening to the song, its best to choose a different one.

4/4 time is counted in 8-counts. Youll be doing one standard Salsa step in 8 beats.
