Hey Guys,
 |
| with the Scene Stealer winner! |
I hope you all enjoyed your 4th of July weekend! I know I did ;) ...What a busy couple of weeks it has been, from Jessica getting serenaded by TKA to us partying up at the Wisin y Yandel concert! Plus working along with our new client the New Copacabana and coming up with a layout for our first Beauty & Fashion page for the mag! So excited =)
You guys have to read Jessica's blog to get the 411 on TKA and her outer-body experience! lol She lovesssss Freestyle so this was quite the treat. Later on that week Jess and I went to the Wisin y Yandel concert which was fantastic! We partied at the Prudential Center with our friends and the Scene Stealer contest winner, Diana Ruano. We had a blast!! Reggaeton is a genre that's fading away, but its artists like Wisin y Yandel that keep the momentum going! They def had me on my feet and singing like there's no tomorrow. #goodtimes !
Speaking about concerts ... last Thursday we literally stayed up 24 hours to catch my future hubby Pitbull, Marc Anthony, Neyo and T-pain performing for Today Show - FREE - summer concert series at the Rockefeller. The 2011 Today Show Summer Concert Series takes place every Friday morning on the plaza at Rockefeller Center (between 49th and 50th St. near 5th Ave.). The Friday show start at 7:00 A.M., so you better get your bootayy up EARLY if you want a decent view. Viewing is on a first-come, first-served basis.We got there at 4am thinking that we will get good seats, negative! Fans were camping there... We got into the main area but couldn't really see much =[ (it sucks being a lil' over 5ft). Nonetheless we had a blast listening to them during soundcheck. I think its awesome to have free concerts like these -- I just wish it wasn't as early 0_o.

What's Up!
So these past few weeks have been hella hectic, chock full of work, meetings and various events.
As you all should know by now, Samantha and I have a weekly segment (every Monday) on Front Stage Radio with Pretty Lou, Jess Cortez, DJ Top 10, DJ Fort Nox and Angela on Urban Latino Radio (from 10pm to 1am)...well last Monday I was super stoked to find out that Latin freestyle artists, TKA/K7 were going to be the in the building!!
Hailing from New York City, TKA was discovered when it sang at a Sweet Sixteen party in an East Harlem church in 1984. Record producer and manager Joey Gardner, who attended the party, was impressed with the trio, and so with his help, signed with Tommy Boy Records.The group’s first single was "One-Way Love", a major hit in the Latin club communities of New York and Miami, which was followed by " Come Get My Love." They recorded the album, titled Scars of Love, which included the first two singles. The title track was then released as a single, followed by "Tears May Fall," "X-Ray Vision," and "Don't be Afraid." A greatest-hits package was released in 1992, with a new track, "Maria," which was released as a single. Following the split, the members of TKA went on to pursue independent interests. Kayel recorded under the name K7 and had a hit hip-hop album called Swing, Batta, Swing, which contained the hit singles "Zunga Zeng, and "Come Baby Come. They have however, come back together and still perform throughout New York and Miami.
And they were in the studio!! I love freestyle music, I grew up on it as a child...so seeing these guys up close and personal was amazing. Plus K7 sang "Louder Than Love" to me ::love struck face::!!
Next up was Wisin y Yandel. We got special suite tickets to the Wisin y Yandel's Los Vaqueros El Regreso World Tour stop at the Prudential Center in New Jersey.
Wisin y Yandel are a Puerto Rican reggaeton duo, consisting of Juan Luis Morera Luna (Wisin) and Llandel Veguilla Malavé Salazar (Yandel). They started their career in 2000 and have been together since, winning several awards during that time. These superstars are famous for songs like “Abusadora,” “Rakata,” and more. They’ve also collaborated with a wide array of artist like Akon and Enrique Iglesias.
Lastly, we stayed up all day and night to catch the handsome Pitbull perform at Rockefeller Center for the Today Show's Toyota Summer Concert Series. Pitbull brought the party to the plaza performing three of his collaborations, including “Give Me Everything” with Ne-Yo “Rain” with Marc Anthony and “Hey Baby!” with T-Pain.
So there's a recap of out jam-packed music week...
And for all you New Yorkers...the music don't stop! Heineken, in partnership with Remezcla, announced their schedule of events and talent line-up for The Spot by Heineken, an unprecedented three-week series of events inspired by and connecting Latin music and culture, taking place under one roof in New York City this summer.
