Thursday, November 13, 2008 What a spectacular evening THE LATIN GRAMMY GALA ...

It was breathtaking to see so many latinos and Americans come together in this wondefully elegant evening of awards of latin pops, country and folklore music. It brought me to tears to see VICKI CARR.........OMG........my mother adore her music and she is still STANDING and SINGING with her beautiful voice. Kenny G. was also there. My God that man can hypnotized you with his flute.

The best part was to see so many like I've said, Colombia; Brazil, PuertoRico, Cuba, Argentina, Pananama and America..........united under one roof.

Gloria Stefan was absolutely incredible. HER MUSIC SINCE THE EARLY 70's with the Miami Sound Machine still kicking.

But the greatest part of all.................was to see Gloria Estefan along with JOSE FELICIANO (GOSH he looked incredible) and MY ALL TIME FAVORITE SANTANA.........was simply an emotional time. The music; the lyrics just makes your heart pound and your feet moving to the beat COME EVERYBODY DO THE CONGA......

What a spectacular and elegant evening. I truly enjoyed every bit of it. Especially my husband  who adores Santana.

Though this picture was from his concert this year, April, 2008 UCF ARENA.

LOVING THE MUSIC. I LOVE THE TRIBUTE GIVING TO CELIA CRUZ, SELENA AND TITO PUENTE..............ONE OF LATINO AMERICA GREATEST only to name a few!

just to add. Some of you ( and I can understand to a certain extent your feelings of Latinos) but just know THERE ARE FAR GREATER NUMBERS OF GOOD, HONEST, TALENTED AND BEAUTIFUL LATINOS that have worked and some still working TO MAKE THIS A BETTER WORLD. For those who don't know the movie stars, the artists YOU SIMPLY DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE MISSING. MEXICO has gorgeous hunks and beautiful women/men and children that are great movie legends and Telenovela actors...IT'S A BEAUTIFUL MEXICAN WORLD. By the way, the Grammy's were held in Houston, Texas. What beautiful City. The tour of the Houston shown was just breathtaken.

Well... If you can't be the best musician, I guess you can settle for being the best latino musician. I like Santana. He's great no matter who you compare him to.

That's correct rottweiler..and it was fabulous seeing everyone come together though...that didn't happen when they started doing the Latin Grammy's so I was very excited about Kenny G and Vikki Carr.......she was just great. Hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful.
