Multiple Grammy® Award Winning Band Bacilos, to release long awaited album entitled SINVERGÜENZA, on September 28

Miami, FL (PRWEB) September 30, 2004

Warner Music Latina has announced the release on September 28th of SinVergüenza, the long awaited album by multiple Grammy® Award winning band BACILOS. SinVergüenza was produced by world-renowned Juan Vicente Zambrano (Celia Cruz, Ricky Martin, J-Lo) and the late Tom Capone (Maria Rita, Skank) and recorded in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and Miami, Florida. The new production is the follow-up to the mega-hit and last year’s Grammy® Award winning Best Latin Pop album Caraluna,

SinVergüenza is a fusion of genres which is most represented in BACILOS’ own members: Colombian born singer/songwriter and guitarist Jorge Villamizar, Brazilian bassist Andre Lopes and Puerto Rican percussionist and drummer José Javier (J J) Freire, together the band brings forth their own ethnicity by creating a mélange of pop, samba, tropical, alt-rock, reggae, among others and thus infusing a peculiar and very own sound.

The first promotional single “Pasos de Gigante”, was released last month and has quickly become embraced by fans and radio stations across the U.S. and Latin America “Pasos de Gigante”, written by BACILOS’ own Jorge Villamizar, is a simple love story that starts with a rhythm reminiscent of footsteps (“pasos”) and erupts into an up-tempo celebration of Colombian sounds with Haitian flavor.

SinVergüenza promises to be a more stronger and ambitious album than the group’s previous ones. “We have become very aware of our own environment,” says Villamizar. “Our songs are more intense and socially conscious, without leaving behind a higher dosage of romanticism.” The intensity, he says, comes from “being more self-confident and secure in what we are doing.”

BACILOS, who just came back from a trip to Kenya, where they filmed a TV special for Animal Planet, will be on a promotional tour, visiting Puerto Rico, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, and Chile in October; and launches their US Concert Tour in November. Dates will be forthcoming.

The video for “Pasos de Gigante” will be film in Puerto Rico shortly, and is to be directed by Carlos Perez

Grammy Award Winner Alejandro Sanz to Perform Hit Song "Looking for Paradise" at Market Americas World Conference in Miami


Greensboro, NC (PRWEB) January 22, 2010

Serendipity brought them together. A twilight cruise on mega-yacht Utopia III with the founders of ultra successful Internet Company Market America and mutual friends Loren and JR Ridinger, the breezy Miami air, and a shared love for music became a magical recipe for paradise for Alejandro Sanz and Alicia Keys. Alejandro strummed his guitar while Alicia hummed an intoxicating melodyone which would eventually evolve into Looking for Paradise, a song with the ability to transcend culture and language and speak to humanity and our common search for paradise: a place as authentic as it is uplifting.

Now come see Alejandro Sanz, the 15 time Latin Grammy award winner and two time Grammy Award winner, perform Looking for Paradise at Market Americas sold out World Conference on Saturday Jan. 30 at 6:40 PM. Looking for Paradise has gone all the way to number one on the Billboard Latin Pop Songs chart, Tropical Songs chart and Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart. Market America was behind the scenes at the making of Looking for Paradise which can be viewed here at ma My World: http://myworld.marketamerica.com/index.cfm?action=services.epCustLanding&landingID=lookingForParadise

The audience attending the sold out conference, will have the unique opportunity to see this amazing performer LIVE before he kicks off his world tour Tour Paradise in Mexico D.F. on February 23rd. The tour will run throughout 2010 and will include concerts in Chile, Argentina, Paraguay as well as Spain in the months of May and June, and major cities of the United States in July and August.

Why was Sanz chosen to perform the song in front of over 25,000 people at American Airlines arena in Miami to close Market Americas World Conference event? Because through his songs, Sanz provides messages that completely relate with Market Americas philosophy and mission, which is to help people achieve their own paradise, Market America provides over 180,000 people worldwide with a vehicle to achieve financial freedom and achieve their dreams. To date, over 300 people have become millionaires through Market Americas UnFranchise System, a business approach that allows the average person to own their own e-commerce website without the high start up costs and restrictions imposed by traditional franchises.

Baltimore, Md. (PRWEB) November 09, 2012 Audience-favorite Mario Venzago will lead the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra (BSO) and Argentinian-born cellist Sol Gabetta in Elgars Cello Concerto on Thursday, November 29, 2012 at 8 p.m. at The Music Center at Strathmore and Friday, November 30, 2012 and Saturday, December 1, 2012 at 8pm at the Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall. Maestro Venzago and Ms. Gabettas recording of Elgars Cello Concerto (released on the RCA label in 2010) earned praise from music critics. Also on the program are Liszts lively Mephisto Waltz No. 1 and Francks Symphony in D Minor. Please see below for complete program details. Elgars Cello Concerto is one of the most significant works in the cello repertoire. Elgar completed his cello concerto in 1919, just after the first World War, following a four year period in which he withdrew from composing almost entirely. The ravages of the War depressed him and it is in this stirring work that he bids a touching adieu to Englands lost era of simplicity and peace. Award-winning Argentinean cellist Sol Gabetta makes her BSO debut with this monumental work. Grammophone Magazine praised her recording of this work, “Sol Gabetta’s Elgar Concerto is one of the best around, a heartfelt, tonally rounded performance, intimate and wholly at one with Mario Venzago’s generally subtle handling of the orchestral score…Hers is a softly spoken presence, especially beautiful in those infinitely sad modulations that fall towards the end of the piece.” Liszts musical retelling of Hungarian poet Nikolaus Lenaus account of the Faust legend so scandalized Liszts early listeners that it was banned in London following its premiere in 1861. As the Faust legend goes, the title character sold his soul to Mephistopheles in exchange for enduring youth, wisdom and pleasure. In the Mephisto Waltz No. 1, or Dance at the Village Inn, Faust and Mephistopheles stumble upon a peasants wedding. Finding the music lacking, Mephistopheles takes a violin from one of the musicians. While he plays, Faust flirts with the innkeepers daughter. Mephistopheles music becomes increasingly erotic as Faust lures her away for their woodland tryst.
