<<<<<< Cinco de Mayo: What Is It All About and What Music Is It Celebrated with Nowadays? Por una mujer bonita
C
inco de Mayo is commonly mistaken as the anniversary of Mexico’s Independence, but that shouldn’t happen anymore. Cinco de Mayo is the commemoration of the bravery of the Mexicans who battled French oppression, one of the most categorical signs of passion and love for the motherland to come from Latin America. Unfortunately, nowadays it’s confused with the glorious work of Miguel Hidalgo and José María Morelos. According to the Pequeño Larousse Ilustrado, “In 1862, the French army undertook the military occupation of Mexico, with the support of conservatives .” Benito Juárez, who became Mexico’s president in 1859 and signed reform laws disliked by some members of the imperialist government, ordered General Ignacio Zaragoza to stop the advance of the French armed forces at the Guadalupe and Loreto forts near the city of Puebla, which he accepted despite having a small army of some 2,000 troops. On May 5, 1862, cannons and rifles went off and impressively, some 1,000 French soldiers were killed. That day, the Mexicans won the battle, but not the war, because soon after, in 1864, Maximilian, Archduke of Austria, (Ferdinand Joseph of Habsburg) would be named emperor

of Mexico by Napoleon III in the Treaty of Miramar. Juárez headed north to take refuge, asking Californians for help. He returned to the capital in 1867, when France withdrew from Mexico under pressure from theUnited States and due to its commitments in Europe. That is why Cinco de Mayo has become a national Mexican holiday. With the Battle of Puebla, Mexicans struck the French for the first time and showed that their nation and its inhabitants would not be easy victims of oppression. Hundreds of museums and murals in Mexico honor this date and in the United States and elsewhere in the world, Mexican neighborhoods and its thousands of residents usually celebrate it with a party, full of music, folk dances, beer, tequila and delicious Mexican food. Therefore, to make sure that your next celebration of the joyous spirit of Cinco de Mayo gets started on the right foot, we’ve compiled a list of different musical productions with which you will surprise your guests and, at the same time, pay tribute to your beloved Mexico. Incorporate these 10 records to your green, white and red party, and you and your guests will wake up with a smile on your face. (CL)

E
s un error común considerar el conocido Cinco de Mayo como el Aniversario de la Independencia Mexicana, pero esto debería dejar de suceder. El Cinco de Mayo es un día conmemorativo del coraje de los luchadores mexicanos contra la opresión francesa, una de las más rotundas muestras de pasión y amor por la patria que se ha producido en toda Latinoamérica y que hoy en día, lamentablemente, se confunde con la gloriosa labor de Miguel Hidalgo y José María Morelos.
De acuerdo al Pequeño Larousse Ilustrado, “en el año 1862, el ejército francés emprendió la ocupación militar de México, con el apoyo de los conservadores.” Benito Juárez, quien asumió la presidencia mexicana en el año 1859 y emitió leyes reformatorias que no gustaron a algunos de los gobiernos imperialistas, dio la orden al general Ignacio Zaragoza de que detuviera el avance de las fuerzas armadas francesas en los fuertes de Guadalupe y Loreto, cerca de la ciudad de Puebla, la cual esté último aceptó, a pesar de contar con un reducido ejército de unos dos mil soldados. Sucede entonces que, el 5 de mayo de 1862, los cañones y rifles se dispararon y, de manera impresionante, alrededor de mil soldados franceses terminan muertos. Ese día, los mexicanos ganaron la batalla, pero no la guerra, porque, poco después, en 1864, el archiduque de Austria, Maximiliano (Fernando José de
April/May 2008
Habsburgo) sería nombrado emperador de México por NapoleónIII, lo cual sucedió a través del tratado de Miramar. Juárez se refugiaría en el norte del país, pediría ayuda a los californianos y se encargaría de retornar a la capital en 1867, cuando Francia se retiró de México tras la presión de los Estados Unidos y sus compromisos con Europa. Por ello, el Cinco de Mayo se ha convertido en una fiesta nacional mexicana. Con la Batalla de Puebla los mexicanos dieron el primer golpe a los franceses y demostraron que su nación - y sus habitantes - no sería fácil víctima de la opresión. Cientos de museos y murales localizados en México rinden honor a esta fecha y, tanto en Estados Unidos como en el resto del mundo, los vecindarios mexicanos y sus miles de habitantes tienden a celebrarla de forma festiva con música, bailes folclóricos, cerveza, tequila y la exquisita comida mexicana. A raíz de esto, y para que su próximo festejo del espíritu gozoso del Cinco de Mayo arranque con todos los hierros, hemos copilado un listado de distintas producciones musicales con las cuales usted sorprenderá a sus invitados y, al mismo tiempo, rendirá honor a su querido México. Agréguele estos diez discos a sus colores verde, blanco y rojo y amanecerá, junto a sus invitados, con una sonrisa en el rostro. (CL)

La juventud latina habla y MTV Tr3s responde MTV Tr3s inaugura tres producciones originales que tienen al televidente como centro PeeWee es el presentador de Bust a Ritmo Los fanáticos logran conexión única con artistas en Rock Dinner Dame un Break les ofrece a grupos latinos desconocidos la posibilidad del estrellato
T
res nuevas producciones originales que tienen como centro el mundo y los sueños de los jóvenes latinos fueron anunciadas hoy por MTV Tr3s (http://www.mtvtr3s.com). A partir del 14 de abril, los televidentes de MTV Tr3s demostrarán sus habilidades en la preparación de una cena a una superestrella latina en “Rock Dinner”; las cosas a las que se arriesgan algunos televidentes por algo que desean hacer realidad en “Bust a Ritmo”; y cómo lograr que MTV les produzca un video en “Dame un Break.” A partir de las opiniones del Panel Cooltura de MTV Tr3s, un grupo de 100 jóvenes latinos innovadores que se desempeñan como asesores del canal en estrategia de programación y contenido; MTV Tr3s ha descubierto que sus televidentes se quieren ver reflejados en la programación, así como descubrir nuevos ritmos y artistas que no pueden encontrar en otro sitio, e insisten en la interactividad y la participación como parte de su experiencia musical. Además, buscan un método íntimo y menos tradicional en la programación musical.
“

“En MTV Tr3s, todo lo que hacemos ubica a nuestros jóvenes consumidores latinos al frente y como centro, y ellos nos han dicho que la música latina los define. Los ritmos, letras y artistas son el alma de su cultura, una fuente de orgullo, una fuerza unificadora y una forma de expresión que los diferencia de otros segmentos juveniles. Por esta razón, la música es el corazón de MTV Tr3s”, explicó Lucía Ballas-Traynor, vicepresidenta principal y gerente general del canal.
Además de la constelación de estrellas que MTV Tr3s les proporciona a sus televidentes, el descubrimiento de nuevos talentos ha sido un pilar de la estrategia musical de MTV Tr3s desde la creación del canal. “Dame un Break” lleva el descubrimiento musical a un nivel superior, no sólo invitando a los televidentes a descubrir nuevos ritmos, sino también proporcionándoles la oportunidad de descubrirse a sí mismos. El proyecto de plataforma múltiple que se estrena el 12 de mayo, le ofrece a la juventud latina la posibilidad de demostrar su talento participando en un concurso para ganar la oportunidad de la vida: lograr que su propio video musical sea producido por MTV Tr3s, además del correspondiente estreno del álbum o EP. Para participar en el concurso, los grupos deberán incorporar un enlace con su canción al sitio Web de “Dame un Por su parte, en “Bust a Ritmo”, que se estrena Break” (http://www.dameunbreak.mtvtr3s.com), el 16 de junio, se verá lo que algunos televiden- crear su propio perfil de artista, e invitar al mundo tes son capaces de hacer para convertir en reali- a que vote por ellos. dad un sueño.

It’s true. Pluto was demoted to the status of a dwarf planet. Don’t let this fool you into thinking that he is any less powerful. His enchanted tricks will begin with a station to retrograde on April Fool’s Day. Double check yourself and plan your feet firmly in the ground. This is no time to feel wobbly. Pluto leaves his one degree Capricorn position and makes a steady regression back into Sagittarius from June through November of this year. This last visit in the realm of the poetic wanderer gives us the opportunity to commit to the changes brought about regarding our spiritual path and direction. All decisions and pushes forward must be deliberate and well thought out. Just because it feels like a good idea or seems like a cool thing to do, is not a good reason. Saturn trines the murky necromancer with the earthy energy of Virgo. I’ve been telling you to change your ways and get earth-wise. You’ll soon know exactly what I mean. Looking for a glimmer of hope? Wondering when finances will shift? Feel like sitting still and putting your head between your knees? I understand. These are all the results of the movement of Jupiter and the unavoidable force of Pluto in Capricorn. Focus on your daily practices which promote good health and positive thinking. Meditate and practice positive visualization. Once you have clear ideas, exercise discipline. Take charge at work and within groups. The New Moon in Aries on April 5, brings up familiar issues. Work with them as Mercury races forward in Aries screaming at you to blurt and fuss. Resist the urge to make rash decisions. Cool down, literally! Turn the shower to the blue zone. Jump in the lake or sea. Sit on a mountain or hill and breathe in the cool air. This is especially important for the Air signs of Gemini, Libra and Aquarius. Help yourself to take the deliberate steps which will see you to your goal safely. Spontaneity will throw you down. Once on your back, you will indeed see where you had intended to go. I want you to get there safe and sound. Pause. Take breaks. Use this mantra: I need twenty four hours to think about it and I will get back to you tomorrow. Exercise this rule on all decisions. The impatience of the Scorpio Full Moon on April, 20 emphatically shows you just where you need to be. Wait till then. To temper the fires of your soul’s desire and get you where you need to be over the next few weeks, please read your Sun Sign.

Yahoo! Telemundo Reveals BUZZworthy Searches for March, Highlights Top 10 Searches in Three Popular Search Categories Yahoo! Telemundo today announced its Top 10 Searches for the month ending March 31 (http://yahootelemundo. com/lomasbuscado), which include the Top 10 overall searches, image searches and music searches for the month, as established by the millions of Yahoo! Telemundo users.
There was a sudden surge in searches for infidelity tests last month, which comes as no surprise given the recent national scandal of New York governor Eliot Spitzer who resigned after allegedly being linked to a high-priced prostitute. Apparently the media frenzy that ensued from the Spitzer scandal got many to question their current relationships and search for indicators of unfaithfulness and also peeked an interest as to who the “the other woman” was -- making 22-year-old aspiring singer and former escort Ashley Alexandra Dupre the second most searched item on the list. Many were also searching for the best of Spring Break; however, there was no break for fans who continued their incessant searches for their favorite celebrity beauties such as Camille Belle, currently starring in the monolithic hit film, 10,000 B.C. and Colombian bikini model Ana Sofia Henao, who is also known as one of the most ‘downloaded’ women on the Internet. There was also much buzz about Jennifer Lopez, especially surrounding the birth of her adorable twins. Internationals Woman’s Day (Dia Internacional de la Mujer), celebrated on March 8, is a major day of global celebration for the economic, political and social achievements of women, and was also of interest to Yahoo! Telemundo users. Last, but not least, the release of the popular Guinness World Records for 2008 got many users to look up the newest and most off-the-wall additions to the celebrated list.

Lisa Guerrero and Jackie Guerrido. Images of Mexican actress and novella star, Kate del Castillo were also quite popular last month perhaps due to her big screen debut in the highly acclaimed new film, “La Misma Luna.” Images of the popular Japanese anime character Naruto also made the list probably due to its rise in popularity with kids around the world.

Don Omar, another Latin Grammy-nominated reggaeton star from Puerto Rico, also topped the list as many also searched for the latest on his impending wedding to TV personality Jackie Guerrido (who also made it to the above-mentioned Top 10 Image Searches list). Iconic 90’s pop girl-group, the Spice Girls, seem to still in demand after all these years due to the recent conclusion of their “The Return of the Spice Girls” World Tour. Also, users searched for the term “Emo” (short for “emotional”) which is a type of emotionally-charged punk rock person that has garnered recent media attention. After decades of ruling

the stage, iconic singers/actresses Gloria Trevi and Madonna both still have what it takes to be among the most searched for, while more recent music scene inductees, Hannah Montana and Amy Winehouse, continue on their meteoric rise in popularity among music fans. Every month the Yahoo! Telemundo Top 10 Searches showcases the diverse interests and concerns of U.S. Hispanics around the net, from gorgeous celebrity sightings and salacious political news to funny jokes and the latest consumer obsessions. The monthly list includes a recap of the Top 10 Overall Searches, Top 10 Image Searches and Top 10 Searches in a revolving category, which changes monthly. To come up with the Yahoo! Top Searches list, Yahoo! scans anonymous query logs from Yahoo! Search across a variety of categories to see what themes and trends bubble up to the surface. Individual searches are never used to develop these lists. For more information on Yahoo! Telemundo’s Top 10 Searches, visit http://www.yahootelemundo.com/ lomasbuscado. (HPRW)

El mes pasado hubo un aumento súbito en las búsquedas de pruebas de infidelidad, lo cual no ha sido una sorpresa debido al reciente escándalo del gobernador de Nueva York Eliot Spitzer quien renunció a su cargo después de haber estado supuestamente unido a una prostituta muy costosa. Aparentemente el frenesí de los medios causado por el escándalo de Spitzer hizo que muchos se cuestionaran las relaciones actuales con su pareja y buscaran los indicadores de la infidelidad y también motivó el interés de saber quien era “la otra mujer” -- convirtiendo a Ashely Alexandra Dupre, de 22 años de edad, cantante en ciernes y ex acompañante de Spitzer, en el tema que ocupa el segundo lugar entre los más buscados de la lista. Muchos también buscaron lo mejor de Spring Break; sin embargo, no hubo un receso para los fanáticos que continuaron sus incesantes búsquedas por sus famosas bellezas favoritas como Camille Belle, quien protagoniza en estos momentos el exitoso film monolítico, 10,000 B.C., y la modelo colombiana de bikinis Ana Sofía Henao, quien también es conocida como una de las mujeres más ‘descargadas’ de Internet.

fueron también muy populares durante el mes pasado quizás debido a su debut en el cine con el aclamado film “La Misma Luna”.

D.J. Kane lands on Planeta Kumbia
H
ay un capítulo nuevo for D.J. Kane, former lead singer of Los Kumbia Kings y los fans are brinca brinca! After a beautiful run as a solo artist, a very grateful D.J. Kane said yes to a generous offer and rejoined creative forces with his former band leader A.B. Quintanilla III. This new chapter began in January of 2008. D.J. Kane was working on a recording project for a label in Corpus Christi, Texas along with Paula Deanda, Baby Bash, Frankie J. & MC Magic. The furthest thing from his mind was being on tour with A.B. Quintanilla III and his former band-mates. Kane was about halfway through creating his latest solo production when he received a call from A.B. Though the two had times in the past when they did not completely agree on process and direction, it was of no concern. A.B. wanted Kane back in the band and D.J. Kane responded with an enthusiastic ¡Sí! It has been a little more than two months and according to Kane, “Everything is going so good! The tour is amazing. Fans are able to enjoy all of their favorite music of the Kumbia Kings with the original voice, composer and producer on stage together. The crowd response has been great! We have done five concerts and a great deal of promotion.” The full repertoire is being played and the band is just beginning their current US tour. Prior to crossing the border back into the USA, a wellseasoned Kumbia All Starz played to a crowd of 65,000 in Costa Rica. The band’s new CD “Planeta Kumbia” was just released on March 4. You may download it on MySpace, purchase it on iTunes and find it at your favorite music store. Kumbia All Starz is more then just a revival band. There is less boy band and more musicality in their performance. Their focus is on the music the way fans want to hear it. Todos nuestros favoritos: Azucar, No Tengo Dinero, Mi Gente, La Cucaracha, Shhh, and Fuiste Mala are being performed with the vocals, harmonies and instrumentation we crave. Kumbia All Starz has previewed the new line up with free shows in San Antonio sharing the stage with Country great, Taylor Swift. They also joined All American Rejects for the NCAA Final Four in San Antonio. Recent promotion spots and video are all over MTV and MTV TR3S. The band was recently featured on the Christina Show in Miami. The Kumbia All Starz recently beamed into Universal City Walk via satellite from the Hard Rock Café in Miami for the Billboard Awards. Mientras, D.J. Kane has the space and support to continue working on his own music. With all of this going on, he also played the Gibson Theater at Universal Studios with MC Magic and Zap. D.J. Kane is looking at this whirlwind of events with a great deal of gratitude. “I had a beautiful run as a solo artist. I learned to appreciate how hard it is to run a business. Now I want to focus on my creativity. It is great to be working with A.B. again. He has so much experience dealing with the business end of things and this affords me the necessary time to focus on my music. I am really enjoying writing, singing, performing and pleasing our fans. The band is amazing. It’s all about the music. “ Join D.J.
