If you want to see the hottest Colombian superstar on tour in 2012 (no not Shakira!), then you should get your Juanes Tickets ahora! Juanes sings only en espanol, yes, he is a purist when it comes to his Latin raices (roots). And even if you are not Latino, the energy, the beauty and the emotion of his songs shines through. Juanes puts on an amazing live show, usually with a rock style band featuring Juanes on guitar and of course, vocals. But Juanes will typically also play a few songs solo acoustic. Juanes is not only an amazing performer and songwriter, he is also an activist for many causes impacting Latin people, not only in Colombia, but in Cuba and Latin America. When you go to a Juanes show, you are also supporting Juanes’ efforts for la paz, for unity, for helping victims of landmines, for la libertad! Juanes is sometimes referred to as the Colombian Bono (U2) because he has grown larger than his music as far as his influence in many important charitable causes. He has also garnered many Grammy awards, continually tops the Latin music charts and fills venues in the US, Latin America and also in Europe.

Latino Lovers Dating Site

Posted by on Jan 7, 2012 in Latinos | 0 comments

There’s a new latino dating site for Latino Lovers, plenty o fish. The site is brand new to The Dating Factory, a well-known dating group with dating sites in different popular niches. Most singles now belong to two dating sites according to a recent dating survey. This is to increase the chances for singles to find a date. So even if you already belong to a dating site, you should still check out plenty a fish. New dating sites also attract new members, so you can find some fresh “new fish” to check out, instead of “stale fish” at the mega dating sites that advertise all over tv. Dating is like fishing, you have to take action to find dates, you literally have to bait the hook and cast it in the water by signing up at a dating site and putting up a profile.

Latinos by nature are very social and love to date and pursue romantic relationships. Online dating gives Latins the chance to find plenty o fish in the sea, instead of relying on friends to literally hook them up with blind dates. Latin men and women often wish to date within their culture, this is often important due to family tradition, desire to be with other Latins who might be bilingual, or because Latins often share the same religious faith and beliefs.

Now Plenty o Fish gives Latins the chance to sign up free to find a date or to upgrade to a paid membership if they wish to utilize more of the dating site features beyond the free membership level.

Free Freestyle Music Download from Sekrett Scilensce Secret Silence.com

Posted by on Dec 31, 2011 in Latino Music | 1 comment

Freestyle music is back! If you’re not familiar with Freestyle Music a.k.a. Latin Hip-Hop, Electro Music and High-NRG music, or if you are, you need to download a new Freestyle Music tune from Sekrett Scilensce, “The Love is Sound”. What makes Sekrett Scilensce different from other Latin Hip-Hop performers is the high production values and 100% real vocals. Sekrett Scilensce does not use auto-tuned vocals or other vocal effects (robotic type vocal performances). Instead, Sekrett Scilensce actually performs vox on Secret Silence songs.

The post-performance aesthetic that Sekrett Scilensce upholds is that Sekrett Scilensce is against “forced-distribution” mechanisms which control the way that freestyle music aficionados can download their music. Instead, Sekrett Scilensce offers distro of high quality Secret Silence Songs (320kbps) MP3s freely on the internet. Use your Android Kindle or other handheld, tablet, smart phone or mobile devices for Free Access and the Freedom to get The Music without additional registration (yknow, intrusion on your privacy). So, yes, the new freestyle music “The Love is Sound” is free for public download and sharing. Get the song free at the official webpage! “The PHP to HTML cross platform treatment to deliver content throughout 2012 is a step in the right direction, undoubtedly. It is hoped that music lovers feel similarly and continue to obtain future music releases via this method,” Secret Silence expanded more on his beliefs about online music delivery.

Sekrett Silence explained more about his Freestyle music aesthetic, “A lot of people have told me over the years that they miss certain styles of music and particularly, the lyrical themes that were conveyed through them. [The Love Is Sound] harkens back to Freestyle and chivalric romance, a la the traditional outline of value s as supposed to the digital interpretations of on demand romancing.”

Posted by on Dec 24, 2011 in Latino Music | 0 comments

Justin Bieber has fans all over the world, but is mega popular in Latin America. His fans are known collectively as Beliebers. His Latin fans, primarily female, can’t get enough of their heartthrob, Justin Bieber. These aficionadas read every news or blog story about him, save Fotos de Bieber on their phones and computers, decorate their bedrooms with Justin Bieber posters, tweet about him 24/7 on Twitter, dream about Justin and chat about him endlessly. They also make their own Youtube videos performing personalized versions of his songs, or videos of themselves dancing to his music or confessing their love of Bieber. Justin Bieber is clearly their one and only idol.

While many music idols have existed since the 1950′s when popular music first launched singers as idols, there has never been an idol as popular worldwide and in Latin America as Justin Bieber. He sells millions of records, millions of music downloads, sells out every live show and causes riots whenever he goes to places in Latin America.

What created Bieber fever? Bieber fever was literally born on Youtube and while he was discovered and developed by his tour manager, Scooter Braun, he was first discovered and popularized by his fans. Justin Bieber was literally a small town boy in Canada who wrote and performed his own songs and put them up on Youtube. Whether he was truly hoping to be discovered and become a star, or whether he was just like any other young singer who wanted a virtual audience for his music, he has achieved a level of superstardom that no other musical artist ever has. La fama de bieber en Latinoamerica es un fenómeno extraordinario. Visite el sitio web: FotosdeBieber.com!
