Behind the Scenes of Urban Latino Magazine's 100th Issue!

Video Song: "Gotta Have It" - Jay-Z & Kanye West

_________________________________________________________

DEWAR'S® Blended Scotch Whisky is proud to announce the official 100th issue release celebration for Urban Latino Magazine! On Tuesday, March 27th, 2012,  DEWAR'S - the #1 selling premium scotch in the United States - will host the exclusive soirée at Rooftop 760, situated in the heart of New York's Time Square. Celebrities, tastemakers and press will be expected for this night of celebration.  

Co-founder and Publisher, Jorge Cano-Moreno felt that DEWAR'S would be the ideal fit to collaborate and celebrate this publishing milestone “They’ve used the market dollar not only to push their product but to empower the Latino community as well,” says the publisher. 
 
The 100th cover story goes to renowned casting agent, director and producer, Ulysses Terrero. Terrero will be in the building –not only to celebrate his recognition but to host the event as well. Legendary mixtape king, Tony Touch who is known for fusing hip hop and Latin influences – will be the official MC for the night, along with other special guest DJs. 

Since 1994, Urban Latino Magazine has created exposure for various important Latino figures, making ULM a platform for rising careers.  Ninety-nine covers ago, a young John Leguizamo made his debut as the first cover story for the magazine - subsequent covers featured Lauren Velez, Marc Anthony, Zoe Saldana, Rosario Dawson and Shakira just to name a few.  The acclaimed lifestyle and cultural publication, caters to the English-speaking Hispanic market, between the ages of 18 – 38. It was the first magazine to speak directly to this demographic, paving the way for others. The focus of Urban Latino is to capture the Latino experience in this country, viewing all sides of our story. The writers and contributors are Latinos who have lived and experienced this diverse culture. ULM continues to showcase the achievements of our community through high quality editorial and photography.

Casting agent, director and producer, “Uly” is the face of Urban Latino’s 100th issue, “I met Uly on the set of the film Destination Unknown almost twenty years ago and his motivation has never slowed down. I’ve followed his career and I’ve always known nothing can slow him down and he embodies what Urban Latino is all about an idea that can become something big," says Jorge. 

Just like the humble beginnings of Urban Latino Magazine, cover story Ulyssess Terrero had a long journey before he became the renowned filmmaker that he is today. The Ulyssess always had an eye for entertainment, he began his career as an extra in the movie Juice, he even tapped in to the rapping world - it wasn’t until he teamed up with his brother (Jessy Terrero) and decided to become casting directors for film projects. Terrero then went from casting to directing and producing, he has worked with international artists like Enrique Iglesias, Ludacris, Mary J. Blige, 50 Cent, Nas, LL Cool J, Ciara, Sean Paul, and much more. Today he is the co-founder of Terrero Brothers Film, an innovative full service production company which produces music videos, cutting edge commercials, and documentaries for all markets. Ulyssess Terrero would like to not only push the boundaries of creativity but also nurture new young filmmakers, helping them find their voices and cultivate a unique vision.

Co-founder and Publisher, Jorge Cano-Moreno is honored to witness the longevity of the magazine and the positive affect it has in today’s society. Cano-Moreno’s credibility within this industry made him a sought after public speaker on a variety of media and entertainment topics. He’s been a guest speaker at many leading universities, such as Albany University, Boston College, University of Florida, Columbia University, and NYU’s Stern School of Business, among many others. He has participated on various panels ranging from, NAMIC (National Association for Multi-Ethnicity in Communications), NGLC (New Generation Latino Consortium), LAMC (Latino Music Conference), the Latin Rap Conference and ASPIRA. Cano-Moreno even appeared on CNN during the Kyra Phillips show discussing Latino Trends in Hollywood in 2011. Aside from his special appearances, Jorge developed a Marketing/PR Company called, Urban Lifestyle Media, LLC. ULM, LLC provides marketing solutions to clients who seek to brand, grow and promote their brands by creating customized integrated multiplatform programs. His client list includes: NY Jets, Eddie Palmieri, Maya Films, Dewar’s, Sofrito, Sazon, Copacabana, Marvel Entertainment to name a few.

Official OR-G NYC Launch Party

Video Song: "I'm Sexy and I Know It" - LMFAO

_______________________________________________________________

Last week we had the pleasure of attending the official NYC launch party for OR-G Vodka at trendy SoHo lounge, W.i.P. (Work In Progress). 

OR-G (aka the OFFICIAL Spirit of the Female Entourage) is a tempting blend of Ultra-Premium Vodka and persimmon (an exotic tropical fruit that resembles a tomato and is sweet) fused with papaya, mango and lime juices...yumm! This delicious concoction was created by Master Spirit maker Jean Marc Daucourt.  Not only is OR-G's exotic design intended to deliver an amazing taste, but it also adds a sensuality to your drinking experience. While OR-G is perfect by itself, its also highly mixable, lending itself to a variety of sexy cocktail creations...for instance The Affair - 2 parts OR-G and 1 part Voli Vodka, The Quickie - 1 part OR-G and 2 parts 901 Tequila or The Mistress - 1 part OR-G and 2 parts Rose Champagne. So be sure to summon your inner mixologist and pair OR-G with your favorite spirit to add that little extra pop! you need to get the party started.

The launch party was hosted by television personality Adrienne Bailon and Love and Hip Hop star Emily B, who both looked great in turquoise. Guests were greeted by the OR-G Angels, danced to the sounds of Roxy Cottontail and Miss Saigon and, of course, sipped on various OR-G signature cocktails. The two hosts served up a fun night for all their guests including, DJ Tony Touch, Hot 97's Angie Martinez, DJ Juanyto, Def Jam executive Shawn "Pecas" Costner, ANTM Alum Eugena Washington, model/actress Liris Crosse and boxer Peter "Kid Chocolate" Quillin.

Planning a ladies night (passion party... wink wink) with your homegirls? Be sure to bring the OR-G for an amazing time (click here to find out where to buy)! Remember to #partyprovocatively...and responsibly, of course!
