Much more than a photo ...<br />

Whenever we work on a new edition we are trying to gather<br />

the best of the models, the musical talent of great artists, the<br />

special diets of our Chef, the designer, and of course the<br />

photography.<br />

In <strong>LATIN</strong> <strong>AMERICAN</strong> <strong>MODEL</strong> we have a special place to those<br />

who make wonderful productions and who highlight the image<br />

of what they are capturing with their lens.<br />

I want to thank all the photographers in this edition. A special<br />

work was created in Medellin, Colombia with the model Erika<br />

Oviedo and the photographer Vlacho Alvarez. This production<br />

is called "The Fifth Element". A likewise production happened in<br />

Bogotá, where the warehouse “Disfraces El Reino Mágico”<br />

prepared special costumes for the Halloween performance with<br />

the photographer Christian Hard and the models Katerin Ayala<br />

and Vivi Zambrano.<br />

Our cover with Gloria Estefan who has given us a little time to<br />

share with us her new musical production. Thanks to Andrés<br />

Reina for his photographic support.<br />

Thanks to the whole team as always for their unconditional<br />

support and passion. Thanks to all the people who are part of<br />

this edition, to Sony Music, to the press chiefs, to the columnists,<br />

journalists, designers, editors, to the National Beauty Pageant of<br />

Thank you,<br />

Michelle Huestik

Isabella Bernal<br />

Colombian Model conquers the world.<br />

The Mexican edition of the<br />

prestigious magazine Maxim's<br />

chose her among the 100<br />

sexiest women on the planet.<br />

She was on the cover of Vogue<br />

(Brazil), Maxim's (Mexico), Elle<br />

(Brazil), GQ (USA) and AUDI<br />

(Germany).<br />

Photographer LEONARDO VILLE – Bolivia<br />

Production DANIEL OPORTO


Model of Haute Couture for Dolce & Gabbana, Prada, Louis<br />

Vuitton, Versace, Roberto Cavali, Calvin Klein and Gucci,<br />

among others. The Mexican edition of the prestigious magazine<br />

Maxim's chose her among the 100 sexiest women on the<br />

planet. She was on the cover of Vogue (Brazil), Maxim's<br />

(Mexico), Elle (Brazil), GQ (USA) and AUDI (Germany). In<br />

2008, she presented one of the MTV awards together with the<br />

rock icon of the eighties, Gene Simmons.<br />

Since 2010 became Isabella the main image of<br />

DANIEL PORTO, one of the major clothing lines in<br />

the world that dresses international artists and<br />

socialites like Tenor Plácido Domingo, Cher, Paris<br />

Hilton, among others. A contract that has allowed<br />

her to travel around the world: Dubai, Bahrain,<br />

Qatar, Abu Dhabi, Mexico, Bolivia and Chile among<br />

others.<br />

In 2012, she ventured into the film with a short role in the movie<br />

"Olvidados", where she made the experience that she love it so<br />

much that she is currently filming a new movie production<br />

called "El Cuarto" where she acts the part of the antagonist.<br />

The shooting is taking place in Bolivia but the production is<br />

Argentine.<br />

She has not only success in her profession but also in her<br />

private life; Isabella became the mother of Vittorio, a beautiful<br />

baby of 13 months of age. Currently, Bernal shares her<br />

mother's role with that of a model, actress and entrepreneur -<br />

working on the creation of a line of body lotions – and as if it<br />

would be nothing, she is also a DJ of electronic music.<br />

So the projects will continue and one of the strongest is to get<br />

in on the Colombian market and to achieve the same success<br />

in the country where she is born as she has had abroad. After<br />

all, who said that you cannot be a prophet in your own land? ...


It is Barranquilla, and<br />

like every woman who is<br />

born and raised at the<br />

seaside and by the<br />

Caribbean river she has<br />

something as they say at<br />

the coast: flavor, body &<br />

color.<br />

She lived, studied and<br />

started her modeling<br />

career in her native<br />

country; at that time she<br />

was the sensational<br />

model of agencies,<br />

commercials, magazines<br />

and great brands.<br />

She was several times<br />

cover of the journal<br />

Miércoles (printed<br />

medium in Barranquilla);<br />

was Chica Águila and<br />

participated in big<br />

fashion events of the<br />

country like<br />

Colombiamoda. She<br />

modeled for large<br />

brands, among them is<br />

Leonisa, bathrooms<br />

dresses, Beverly Hills;<br />

and she was mannequin<br />

of great designers like<br />

Francesca Miranda,<br />

Carmen Belisa Martinez,<br />

Lina Cantillo, among<br />

many others.


She always had been admired for her beautiful figure, invigorated<br />

and well-kept body. Without doubt, she has one of the best<br />

bodies of the Caribbean coast and although her beginnings in<br />

modeling were at an early age (8 years), it wasn’t difficult for her<br />

to earn her place in the complicated world of modeling.<br />

She still remembers how it all began.<br />

Photography Jesús Martínez- Mexico<br />

Production Daniel Oporto


"I remember that I was skating - a sport I practiced for many<br />

years - when a photographer, who was looking for a girl for the<br />

cover of a magazine, took notice of me. He made the photos of<br />

me under the prior authorization of my parents and the results<br />

were very good, so good that I was enrolled in an important<br />

agency of the city for studying glamor and modeling. Since then,<br />

thank God I have not stopped getting contracts for being the<br />

image of several brands." says Isabella.<br />

After finishing her professional career – Journalism of Social<br />

Communication with emphasis in Organizational<br />

Communication at the University Autónoma del Caribe - Isabella<br />

undertook a trip to Bogota, the city that gave her many<br />

opportunities and which served her as a springboard for the<br />

travel to Mexico. In these moments she was hired by the Maxim<br />

Magazine of the publishing house Televisa, for starting several<br />

projects.


It always was<br />

clear that she will<br />

have a big career,<br />

so she could not<br />

choose a better<br />

scenario than the<br />

Mexican market,<br />

the important<br />

platform of the<br />

Latin<br />

entertainment and<br />

promoter of great<br />

talents for the<br />

international<br />

market.<br />

The model wasn’t<br />

wrong, and<br />

although it was<br />

difficult so much<br />

demanding in the<br />

Mexican market,<br />

Isabella was<br />

climbing little by<br />

little, her strongest<br />

weapons were<br />

discipline,<br />

perseverance and<br />

of course her<br />

perfect body,<br />

invigorated and<br />

very healthy.

super talented Colombian<br />

Medellin and she shares<br />

her talented experiences<br />

Guillermo Zuleta,<br />

president of the<br />

Foundation MEQN<br />

explained weeks ago that<br />

Yailen is worthy of the<br />

recognitions and awards<br />

for her excellent<br />

development as a child<br />

model.


"In the name of all children and adolescents of<br />

the foundation and the board of MEQN, directors<br />

and representatives, I want to give you a warm<br />

and hearty welcome to the foundation and the<br />

committee. They are sure to play a good role as<br />

"Our super starlet sent the registration form and Guillermo<br />

awarded her twice without thinking as Official Member and<br />

soon he will give her special nomination to her first<br />

international dedication for the foundation and the board of<br />

MEQN.


Guillermo said he would spare no efforts to carry our brandnew<br />

Colombian starlet for the presentation of the MEQN<br />

Awards 2014 or, what means the same, the award of Primer<br />

Festival de Premios Más Estellitas Qué Nunca. She is a very<br />

“special” guest, the first international starlet who is going to<br />

belong to the foundation and the board and so she must be<br />

received as a celebrity who characterizes from early age."<br />

He was our cover in one of our Magazines in 2011 and one of the<br />

photographers who is most in vogue not only with <strong>LATIN</strong><br />

<strong>AMERICAN</strong> <strong>MODEL</strong>, but also with the Colombian artistic medias.<br />

With his 29 years, this young photographer, coming from Valle del<br />

Cauca and living in Bogota, has increased to one of the most<br />

important promises in the field of advertising and celebrities’<br />

photography. In front of his lens have already been renowned<br />

designers, high-level models and actors of the great national<br />

sphere.

He studied photography<br />

at the Javeriana<br />

University in Visual Arts<br />

Careers in Bogota. In<br />

2003, he used his<br />

artistic talent for working<br />

at an international event<br />

of Gloria Estefan. He<br />

collaborated as graphic<br />

designer in the design<br />

of albums for several<br />

singers and placards for<br />

performances at great<br />

Angarita<br />

Fotografía<br />

Andres Reina A.


<strong>LATIN</strong><strong>AMERICAN</strong><strong>MODEL</strong> - How did start your penchant for<br />

photography?<br />

ANDRES REINA I liked the photography since my childhood, but<br />

it was in the University where I learned to really love it. Clemencia<br />

Poveda, director of the department of photography of the<br />

Javeriana University, taught me to consider photography as an art<br />

that caught my artistic essence (my passion for different technical<br />

drawing, sculpture and design). After six semesters I decided to<br />

retire from the University for concentrating to this very special art!


Pardo


L.A.M. - Do you remember your first photographic work?<br />

A. R. It was for a school project and I used a manual camera<br />

with a 35mm film. I took pictures of my school (St. Bartolomé la<br />

merced) and then I went to Villa de Leiva and took pictures of<br />

everything I loved to capture what crossed my lens. Although it<br />

should be mentioned that I made my first job for a magazine with<br />

the actress Martha Liliana Ruiz, her change was recently<br />

extreme and I had the honor to appear with her photographs that<br />

later were published in several national media.


Santamaría<br />

Fotografía<br />

Andres Reina A.


L.A.M. – What is behind a fashion photographer?<br />

A. R. There is creativity in action; there are colors, textures, action<br />

of light and intellectual games that are reflected in the image.<br />

There is a constant search for an own style (When I hate<br />

something, it is copying, when they say this photo is equal to that<br />

image by photographer x or y) There is a production team for the<br />

fashion, dressing tables, but also there is a personal creative<br />

process.


L.A.M. – What do you think is most important in the photography and<br />

why: Eyes, team or technique?<br />

AR-The most important thing is to be an artist, it is useless to have<br />

many teams when you don’t have good conceptions that make a work<br />

unique.<br />

L.A.M. - How do you see yourself in a few years?<br />

AR-I see myself doing my job leaving footprints in my country, so that<br />

many generations will know my work and that I can leave something<br />

of interest. This is just the beginning of all the blessings I receive from<br />

God for carrying my work to everybody. I do much conceptual artwork;<br />

selling the artistic photography in galleries, doing exhibition with a<br />

social function and continuing with my creative process in fashion and<br />

in the world of theatre.<br />

L.A.M. – Which meaning has the word PHOTOGRAPHY to you?<br />

A. R. - A UNIQUE AND UNREPEATABLE INSTANT as Henry Cartier<br />

Bresson says, it is THE DECISIVE MOMENT<br />

L.A.M. Andrés, you have many successes in what you do, but what do<br />

you think has been your best work?<br />

A. R. Everything is my best work, for me is each picture unique, each<br />

person who crosses my lens, writes history, set emotions,<br />

experiences. No matter whether it is a family, or someone who wants<br />

to have some photos for looking good, or whether it is a singer, an<br />

actor or a model! It’s a question of passion what I do and I put a lot of<br />

love into my job to see the final art.


Rincón


L.A.M. What do<br />

you like most<br />

about your job?<br />

A. R. I like to be<br />

connected with<br />

people, to learn<br />

from every<br />

person, to<br />

travel... there<br />

are so many<br />

things I like<br />

about my job,<br />

indeed, I think<br />

it's not a job, it's<br />

a gift that life<br />

gives me to<br />

enjoy and to<br />

share the talent<br />

that I have<br />

(humility is not<br />

just to duck the<br />

head) but it is to<br />

recognize when<br />

you have<br />

talents and<br />

abilities given by God which shall be served for the others.<br />

L.A.M. What is the goal of your career?<br />

A. R. To have an impact on my work, from my personal area.It is<br />

constantly in motion, my imagination and my reflection, what I<br />

feel, what I like, it causes emotions in people who see my work,<br />

from the most erotic to the most tender, going through the<br />

sensitive, friendly, funny and so many other points.


ROMEO<br />

SANTOS<br />

M<br />

iami, FL (September, 2013). – The King of Bachata, Romeo<br />

Santos, releases the video for his hit single " Propuesta<br />

Indecente." Filmed in Buenos Aires, Argentina starring actress<br />

Eiza Gonzalez. The shooting took two days on the staircase of<br />

the National Library of Buenos Aires and in the San Miguel Palace.<br />

With over 50 extras on the scene, this video was filmed with the latest<br />

technology.<br />

Produced by Vergin Films and directed by Joaquín Cambre, this video<br />

used the technique "Che Revolution Post" which was commissioned to<br />

make a total of 70 seconds on rotoscoping frame by frame for attaining<br />

the combination of black / white and color in a work which took over 16<br />

working days, with a high-level photography which was conducted by<br />

Nicolás Trovato.<br />

The video shows how a desire at first sight can lead to an "Indecent<br />

Proposal." With very sensual images, Romeo Santos and Eiza<br />

González will make this "Indecent Proposal" to their favorite video.<br />

The song "Indecent Proposal" debuted # 1 in digital sales, # 1 in<br />

Mexico and is one of the most requested songs on the radio of Puerto<br />

Rico and the United States.


P<br />

ropuesta Indecente was produced and written by Romeo<br />

Santos and talks about everything that can happen when you<br />

combine seduction, cup sizes and mischief: "an adventure is<br />

more fun if you smell danger," sings The King of Bachata in this<br />

topic. Continuing his gift to use memorable titles for his songs,<br />

Romeo Santos raises the temperature of this new success with<br />

the promise that very soon will follow his next album, the highly<br />

anticipated "Formula Vol. 2".<br />

More about Romeo Santos:<br />

His first solo album "Formula Vol. 1" is the strongest debut of<br />

the Latin industry in the last four years. The album remained at<br />

# 1 on the Billboard's "Top Latin Albums" Charts for 4 months.<br />

Video


ormula Vol. 1, has been consecrated as one of the most<br />

successful and influential productions of the decade. Up to the<br />

date, “Formula Vol. 1 remains on the "Top Latin Albums"<br />

Billboard for consecutive 89 weeks, certified with Triple Platinum<br />

in the U.S. and Puerto Rico for its high sales. Seven hit singles<br />

have been extracted from this successful album: "You",<br />

"Promise", "Mi Santa", "Rival", "La Diabla", "Debate de 4" and<br />

"Llévame Contigo", the last one is continuing up to date at the<br />

radio charts. Five of these hit singles reached No. 1 in the<br />

charts, tying the record for most No. 1 Latin hit singles from the<br />

debut album of Enrique Iglesias in 1995.<br />

<strong>LATIN</strong> <strong>AMERICAN</strong> <strong>MODEL</strong>2013


Water is the opposite of fire. Water keeps us alive, quenches<br />

our thirst and cleanses us. In its melancholic way it makes<br />

sure that life grows and prospers in our world. But: too much<br />

water might be fatal and often causes inundations and<br />

tsunamis with major disasters.


Feature: Cold and wet<br />

Elemental Creature: Undine<br />

Orientation: West<br />

Zodiac: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces<br />

Regular Figure: Icosahedron<br />

Temperament: Melancholy


Earth is an element that gives us a solid foundation. We<br />

build our houses on earth. The Earth is ubiquitous and<br />

always gives us the fixed fundament we need. Sometimes<br />

the earth quakes and forms cracks and let buildings<br />

collapse. But without earth we could not live a solid life.


Feature: Cold and dry<br />

Elemental Creature: Gnomes<br />

Orientation: North<br />

Zodiac: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn<br />

Regular Figure: Dado<br />

Temperament: Phlegmatic


We need air to breathe. It is the air that animates us and gently<br />

caresses the skin. It can turn into a fury and destroy our homes<br />

and our lives when it blusters as a hurricane over us. But the air is<br />

essential for life because it is she who carries our words and who<br />

conveys our senses.


Feature: Hot and wet<br />

Elemental Creature: Sylphs<br />

Orientation: East<br />

Zodiac: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius<br />

Regular Figure: Octahedron<br />

Temperament: Sanguineo


The fire warms us; it<br />

gives us light and<br />

makes sure that we<br />

can eat warm meal.<br />

But careful, too<br />

much fire is deadly.<br />

Its choleric nature<br />

erupts again and<br />

again, so like<br />

volcanic eruptions<br />

and forest fires. But<br />

after each disaster<br />

the fertility comes<br />

back, a new life is<br />

born and the<br />

calmed fire donates<br />

its heat and light.


Feature: Hot and dry<br />

Elemental Creatures:<br />

Salamanders<br />

Orientation: South<br />

Zodiac: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius<br />

Regular Figure: Tetrahedron<br />

Temperament: Choleric


She unifies the four<br />

elements in herself.<br />

The features and the<br />

temperaments are<br />

particularly inside<br />

the woman. And so<br />

it is not surprising<br />

that in ancient times<br />

women are<br />

represented as a<br />

symbol of fertility<br />

which has taken the<br />

role of Gaia…


"Gaia, the Great<br />

Mother Earth, the first<br />

goddess, the<br />

parturient, the<br />

paramour and the<br />

sovereign over all<br />

elements, the donor<br />

of life."<br />

Elegance and beauty, grace and brilliance come from her. She<br />

dominates the world, not the male. But beware: Withal wisdom<br />

and gentleness there also can develop a major catastrophe, as<br />

Paris painfully had to learn when he determined the most<br />

beautiful among Hera, Athena and Aphrodite.


His name is Vladimir Alvarez A but this name might not be<br />

wellknown in the media. In the fashion magazines, in the<br />

websites of the graphic designer and in the advertising<br />

marketing, everybody speak about VLACHO, the talented<br />

photographer, born in Medellin on 30 of May 1982; who<br />

takes his artistic name from the abbreviated version of his<br />

real name. He says that the people call him that since they<br />

get to know him. It was before when this pseudonym took a<br />

big impact in his life which led him to consolidate it on the<br />

logo of his professional brand.<br />

Among his field of activity and favorite passion are sports,<br />

especially basketball, the world of fantasy, technology,<br />

cyber aesthetics, anime, video games, 3D animation, color<br />

and trends, all in all the vanguard.<br />

There were these impulses which generated in “VLACHO”<br />

very early at the age of ten years the initiative to study<br />

drawing and systems, increasing his affinity for more new<br />

communication systems and the MASS MEDIA.<br />

After finishing his secondary education, he started studying<br />

digital graphic design in an excellent institution in the city,<br />

completed this, made career in the advertising and<br />

marketing field using this all for the professional<br />

photography studies at the Institute of Fine Arts in Medellin.<br />

His interest in graphics and computer networks has<br />

motivated him to continue preparing with the assistance of<br />

seminars and conferences on these issues.


Holding a chair during three years in Digital Graphic Design,<br />

Photography and Artistic Drawing in an institution of the city of<br />

Medellin, he was strengthening this knowledge he already had<br />

on the issues. His remarkable talent ensured that the demand<br />

for his work increased, and that he would be known in the<br />

graphic and subtle medias and in the changing fashion world;<br />

his skill made that his talent is still reaching excellent aesthetic<br />

centers in the city, and everybody who is in need of graphic<br />

design.<br />

With his thirty years, he is considering himself as a person who<br />

is satisfied with that what he has done and carried out. This is<br />

perhaps a key to the success, when people are having<br />

happiness in their professions; they are more open as the muse<br />

of inspiration they see. He still thinks that there is much lacking<br />

and he feels that he is on a way of constant learning in the world<br />

of photography, where every moment and every space<br />

provokes a feeling and a different sense in the eyes of the<br />

photographers and depending on their sensitivity the ability to<br />

record and respond with the same intensity that you consider.<br />

He is grateful to the people who have supported him from the<br />

beginning and to those who spend a little time that allows him to<br />

do his profession, as there are his family and his friends.<br />

Thanks to the maestros of the streets it gives him a special<br />

merit in his training as a professional.<br />

He has his own studio since six years, where he is spending his<br />

days between cameras, lights, canvas and design programs, it<br />

has become a creative niche where are circulated concepts,<br />

ideas and techniques. He is always giving the best of himself<br />

and he covers all expectations and details that the customer<br />

needs. For this he is putting much more requirement in his work<br />

and he is doing it with pleasant because perfection cannot be<br />

achieved in a single day, according to the popular adage "Rome<br />

was not built in one day".


He enjoys advising new talents in their development as<br />

professionals because he always remembers that he also was<br />

there and he got a hand when he needed it.<br />

There are many goals that this<br />

young photographer from the<br />

northwest side of Colombian is<br />

lacking, but he believes in his<br />

talent and discipline, in the help<br />

of God, his family and friends<br />

who will bring him to be perfect.<br />

ivi<br />

Zambrano


Born on 10 of July 1990 in Bogota, although she is “cachaca”<br />

as she says; in her veins is caldense blood from her mother<br />

and Santander blood from her father. At the age of 4 she<br />

started to go to school, her father always instilled in her the<br />

affection in studying and learning, so Vivi studied in a school<br />

leading by nuns, why she is thankful to her parents. She had a<br />

wonderful childhood, and despite she was the only daughter,<br />

she was always surrounded by cousins who made that their<br />

pranks were all an odyssey. As a child she dreamed of being a<br />

singer, moderator, model and even stylist. For this latest<br />

profession, Vivi practiced with her cousins making very peculiar<br />

cuts for which reason they got a scolding from her mom.<br />

When she was 12 years old, she discovered her love for music,<br />

so she asked her father for a guitar so that she can take<br />

classes. When she was 13, she was completely in love with<br />

Rock and Roll, her favorites bands ranged from THE BEATLES<br />

to SYSTEM OF A DOWN. It was when her dreams changed<br />

tending to form a rock band and be a Rock Star. It was the time<br />

when she belonged to a band called QUIMERA where she was<br />

the vocalist. it was a great experience for her, they didn’t<br />

became Rock Stars, but it was a very happy time. When she<br />

attended the last high school years, she began to decide for a<br />

career she really wanted to study, and it was that moment<br />

when she starts with Fashion Design. Unfortunately she had to<br />

adjourn her career due to an economic family crisis. She<br />

already had been in her last class, when a professor of art<br />

invited her to take classes in Body Painting. There she met<br />

Raul who proposed her to start working as a model for his<br />

agency ArtModels. Thus she began her job as a model, posing<br />

for artistic photos, and then she worked as a protocol model<br />

and which was the beginning of her modeling career.


-It was when her<br />

dreams changed<br />

tending to form a<br />

rock band and<br />

be a Rock Star-.


Vivi has<br />

modeled in<br />

fashion shows<br />

for lingerie,<br />

jeans, were<br />

model at<br />

advertising<br />

campaigns, TV<br />

commercials,<br />

girdle<br />

catalogs, and<br />

she also<br />

presented an<br />

online program<br />

called<br />

ROCKSTARS<br />

TV


Currently she is<br />

living for the<br />

modeling. It is her<br />

passion and she<br />

hopes that she can<br />

work a couple of<br />

years in this area<br />

and then go back<br />

to college, but not<br />

fashion design,<br />

she hopes to<br />

return soon to<br />

study International<br />

Business.

pushing her career<br />

little by little. Today<br />

Bambuco Caribe<br />

The Colombian folklore has manifold variations based on real or<br />

magical elements that are deep-seated in the soul of the people<br />

and that are so unique that the regions afford to identify<br />

themselves by colors, costumes, music, dance and rhythm:<br />

“El Guaneña” of the department of Nariño; “el Currulao” in the area<br />

of Cauca, Valle del Cauca and Choco; “El Pasillo” in Caldas, “El<br />

Fandango” in Monteria; “El Joropo” in the region of los Llanos; “El<br />

Bambuco” in Tolima Grande (Huila, taken as its own and Ibague<br />

cultivated it); “La Cumbia” in Magdalena, (Depresión Momposina,<br />

with some variations in Barranquilla and Valledupar), “El<br />

Vallenato” in Caesar; “El Torbellino” in Santander; “El Guabina” in<br />

Boyacá etc.. Norte de Santander lacks own rhythms and its lyrics<br />

follows the ones of Bambucos (Ocañerita, Brisas del Pamplonita)<br />

and other melodies, although its history and present is full of<br />

composers and compositions.<br />

Special thanks to Charlot Izako Mustafa and Productions Charlot<br />

for the perfect organization of the event.<br />

The Magdalena River which is flowing to the sea, passes the<br />

iridescent shore of the riparian delighted villages and<br />

amphibious cultures recreated by Fals Borda, plays in “El<br />

Banco” rocking the most gorgeous establishing river that one<br />

can imagine and that serves the scene at the Imperialato<br />

Nacional de la Cumbia, since years directed by Veruschka<br />

Barros, daughter of the author of the Piragua.<br />

I have been closely linked to the Festival as jury or orator for<br />

several years, and during the XXVIII version in 2012, the<br />

Viceroyalty was taken by the ocañera Nadya Jacome, who<br />

danced the Machetilla with an impeccable choreography of<br />

Juan Carlos Parra, identified as a dance of Norte de<br />

Santander, but I was dissatisfied with the movement of the<br />

shoulders and the sway of the machetes, the first because it<br />

appears to me a detracted elegance and second because it<br />

evokes violence, then I wanted them to submit a new proposal.

I wrote ten letters, I chose "promesa de morena Luna" and I<br />

confined the project to the area of the old province of Ocaña,<br />

formed by 29 municipalities that today belong to the south of<br />

Cesar, south of Bolivar, part of Magdalena and northeastern<br />

Norte de Santander, where exist ethnic and sociocultural affinities<br />

and regional economic interests.<br />

The research of anthropologist Reichel-Dolmatoff concluded that<br />

the population of the region doesn’t belong to the indigenous<br />

family of Chibcha but to the Caribbean, but now living in the<br />

mountains, we are influenced by the Andean rhythms, so I looked<br />

for a bambuco to characterize the elegance of the ocañeros and<br />

a fandango to express its happiness. Making a tribute to<br />

bambuco and our Aborigines, baptized the project as Bambuco<br />

Caribe and so is called the rhythm, which Juan Carlos Vergel<br />

later baptized as Fanduco.

I hired two professionals: Saúl Pacheco Ropero and Juan Carlos<br />

Vergel so they join together.<br />

When it was the first demo on bass, guitar and treble guitar, I<br />

hired the maestro Raul Rosero Polo, recognized this year at the<br />

“Festival Nacional de Música Colombiana, one of the most<br />

important folclorólogos, to be the musical director of the project.<br />

Costumes and choreography<br />

The costume design was made by SENA Ocaña, under the<br />

direction of Samira Paredes, winner of the International Design<br />

Award in Germany, with extensive experience and knowledge of<br />

the theory of clothing. The chosen colors were those of the flag<br />

of Ocaña, green and white, and orange representing the burning<br />

barbatusca. The choreography, performed by the group Brisas<br />

de Torcoroma, directed by Luis Eduardo Perez and Yamile<br />

Bayonne, can be seen at the following link:<br />

The official interpretation is the one with the voice of Aurita Perez,<br />

but there are two equally beautiful versions in the voices of Laura<br />

Ibañez and Rosita Rangel.<br />

With support from the Minister of Culture, Mariana Garcés and<br />

from the Mayor Jesús Antonio Sánchez Clavijo, this new rhythm<br />

was the basis for the organization of the Primer Festival and<br />

Reinado Nacional del Bambuco Caribe, which was held in Ocaña<br />

during the “semana de la Fraternidad” (week of the fraternity), from<br />

28 of June to 1 of July, 2013. Bambuco Caribe evokes the<br />

Andean-Caribbean hybrid that characterizes the Ocañeros and<br />

which manifests itself in the elegance and finesse of Bambuco and<br />

the happiness of Fandango.

Jennifer Andrea<br />

Cardona<br />

Benítez 23 year<br />

old, born in<br />

Medellin,<br />

Colombia on 30<br />

of July 1990, is<br />

tending to the<br />

world of<br />

modeling from<br />

an early age;<br />

this beautiful<br />

girl from the<br />

paisa region<br />

always is<br />

visualizing as a<br />

professional<br />

supermodel<br />

and beauty<br />

queen. Due to<br />

the job of her<br />

mother she<br />

spent her early<br />

childhood<br />

together with<br />

her mother and<br />

brother in<br />

different<br />

villages of<br />

Antioquia<br />

territory.


She was always a very independent woman and an<br />

entrepreneur; in her childhood she liked to work for buying her<br />

own clothes and Barbie dolls, which she clothed and combed<br />

like some famous professional models.


Academically she is characterized by being a good student<br />

occupying the top of her class; she is also very athletic,<br />

playing soccer and softball, practicing swimming and<br />

gymnastics. She is always distinguished by her creativity<br />

and spontaneity. She made her first steps in modeling at<br />

the age of 15 being the advertising image of the<br />

photographic agency of a friend, who constantly motivated<br />

her to continue modeling.


Despite being part<br />

of her dream,<br />

Modeling has taken<br />

a back seat when<br />

she entered the<br />

Colombian Civil<br />

Defense as a<br />

lifeguard and she<br />

dedicated to share<br />

her free time for<br />

helping and to give<br />

herself the best for<br />

the community.<br />

After having<br />

obtained her<br />

baccalaureate, she<br />

began to study<br />

journalism and<br />

social<br />

communication.<br />

Therefore she<br />

adjourned her<br />

commitment at the<br />

Civil Defense. At<br />

the age of 19 she<br />

started her career<br />

as psychologist<br />

and a new stage in<br />

her life began as<br />

mother and<br />

psychologist.


A<br />

MOTHER<br />

<strong>MODEL</strong>...<br />

Salomé<br />

Cardona<br />

Model Jr.


During her pregnancy she took up again the modeling, and 9<br />

months after the birth she began to involve her daughter into<br />

this circle... by introducing her at the academies for child<br />

models.


After 8 semesters of psychology and now focused on her<br />

career as a model, she decides to study fashion design and<br />

sets the personal and professional goal to create her own<br />

brand for women and children, inspired by her daughter, in<br />

who she reflects herself and to whom she always wants the<br />

best.


She is a very adventurous woman who loves<br />

starting new projects and who faces up to<br />

the challenges that are imposing her multiple<br />

works day by day. She is considered as a<br />

very affable, intelligent, extroverted and<br />

agreeable person. Her biggest weakness is<br />

impatience, that’s why she is very impulsive<br />

and which is the reason why she has<br />

delayed some activities. This versatile young<br />

model, student, entrepreneur and mother, is<br />

not satisfied with the illusion of being a<br />

queen; currently, she is preparing to present<br />

Colombia in an international beauty contest.<br />

She is fighting every day for her dreams and<br />

for helping to make true the dreams of the<br />

people around her.

“ENTRE NOSOTROS" NEW PROMOTIONAL SINGLE AND<br />

VIDEO OF RAKEL<br />

RAKEL PARTICIPATED IN RELEASE<br />

OF THE NEW DVD OF THE COLOMBIAN<br />

SINGER-SONGWRITER SEBASTIAN YEPES


September 17, 2013, Miami, Fl.)- At the<br />

past 15 of August was in Bogota realized<br />

the official release of the DVD 'Dulce<br />

Tour-On En Vivo' of Sebastian Yepes.


The Live-DVD was recorded on 25 of September 2012 in<br />

Bogota, coincidentally at the same day when Rakel received<br />

the news of her nomination for the Latin Grammy 2012 for her<br />

video 'En El Tiempo'.<br />

For the presentation, Rakel was invited to perform a duet with<br />

the Colombian singer (former member of Sanalejo) the song<br />

'Entre Nosotros", a song, written by Sebastián, which included<br />

the singer from the paisa region on her first album Miracles<br />

Organic.


'Entre Nosotros' captured live an unforgettable collaboration<br />

between two talented artists, a good reason for choosing<br />

this as a new single and video to promote Rakel.<br />

In this live recorded video clip is appreciated another facet<br />

of Rakel, which perceived the connection between the artist<br />

and the song and the feeling with which both singers<br />

perform this topic.<br />

Healthy Cooking with our Chef<br />

Jorge Enrique Martínez<br />

ith great concern we see every day<br />

how the technical development<br />

and the speed of our modern world<br />

and our life doesn’t allow us to eat healthy;<br />

only in the U. S. the people consume Junk<br />

Food for about $ 25.000.000.000.00!<br />

These highly industrialized products contain<br />

preservatives that are in many cases<br />

unhealthy. And this is the reason why it is<br />

very important to be very careful about the<br />

food we eat; therefore my advice is as<br />

follows:<br />

We can use fresh and hopefully organic<br />

products (natural products made with clean<br />

technology, no chemicals; which is<br />

(distinctive in that these products have the natural flavor, fresh and<br />

which such a beauty that stimulates our senses; remember, if<br />

processed foods are so rich and look so good, it is because of the<br />

following: they are decorated by sophisticated packaging and in<br />

many cases they are filled with ingredients in excessive quantities<br />

to enhance the flavor, the candies and goodies are really sweet and<br />

full of calories until heaven, artificial colors, salt, refined flour which<br />

in any case is not very good for health).<br />

Well, the idea of this section is to talk about healthy cooking not to<br />

speak bad about food, but in some moments we will touch this kind<br />

of topic to be clear what we should eat and what not.<br />

What a delight to eat foods full of color, flavor, well balanced and<br />

in portions that are neither limited nor exaggerated, some advice:<br />

The protein which should be eaten at lunch or dinner can easy be<br />

calculated. Look at the palm of your hand, the food must be equal<br />

to the palm of your hand and the amount of the daily calories<br />

should not exceed 1,500 calories.<br />

To make it clear, it’s always good to speak with your doctor and a<br />

professional nutritionist in every single case. For example every<br />

person is consuming these calories in a different manner;<br />

depending on the metabolism, physical activity, kind of work, and<br />

finally the region where we live. There are many variants we have<br />

to consider when we are consuming our healthy eating and<br />

particularly we don’t have to talk only about calories, nutrients,<br />

flavor, everything is important to eat.<br />

I love it to imagine cooking or consuming my food because they<br />

are an ally for living well every day; it is so important to enjoy our<br />

food, and it is so important to give it to all. Don’t eat without<br />

successfully trying to use appropriate places for eating, that your<br />

dining room looks cute and that the view is nice, that your chairs<br />

are appropriate for this pleasure, far away from the place of your<br />

work, from the computer, from the phone.<br />

Take time to eat and enjoy this spectacular sensation, if you are<br />

overweight or in poor health, you can’t eat certain foods or<br />

quantities; remember that the meal is your ally, not your enemy. If<br />

you can, enjoy a good company at lunchtime and you will notice<br />

that it becomes pleasant moments, and enjoy each day more and<br />

more of the same.<br />

Another of the advices is, if you are the one who prepares the<br />

food, be careful about several things; the first one is, don’t cook in<br />

excess; at the beginning of the process be clear how many<br />

people will eat with you and determine accordingly the exact<br />

number of the portions; you should not have to eat more than you<br />

are able to or save for later.


Today I want to make some comments about our subject matter. For<br />

many of our readers, healthy cooking and healthy is a real battle<br />

because they don’t know about the vast amount of resources we<br />

have when we are making a delicious and balanced menu. I hope<br />

that with my advices and those of our readers, we have a great<br />

guide to make the time to eat a real pleasure without forget the<br />

nutrition.<br />

We are always a little bit astonished because of the large number of<br />

concepts which exists about nutrition, if vegetarian, organic, diet x,<br />

diet z, fruit therapy and many more ideas that end up confusing us.<br />

The truth is that we can take those ideas as it best and pick up<br />

everything what will make us to have a healthy life.<br />

In my personal opinion, when preparing and consuming food, it is<br />

important to know what benefits us, what is the best way to prepare,<br />

and some people will tell you that the best to prepare food is grilled<br />

food; others will say that the best food is in steam and the form must<br />

be suitable to the tastes of each.<br />

My first advice is as follows:<br />

Use the sensory organs in a way that your meal is the most<br />

exquisite; never forget that when your food looks beautiful in the<br />

process of digestion, then you started good. When it smells good,<br />

when you like the taste, when crispy is really crispy, when red foods<br />

are really red and when everyone keeps that attraction that<br />

stimulates us and delights our palate. I would say the food is one of<br />

the most beautiful arts that not only feed our body but our senses.<br />

Other very important advice to eat healthy is not to abuse in the<br />

quantities. If you want to have excellent health, you must moderate<br />

the amount of salt, sugar, spices, flour. The higher the amount of<br />

what you eat, the higher the possibility that it could come to a<br />

detrimental factor for your health. And if you consume a large<br />

amount of food, it will widen the stomach and the body cannot digest<br />

so much food, therefore it will be saved for the future.<br />

This is the point when we will start to become obese and as<br />

consequence having health problems due to obesity.

Pedro<br />

Rodríguez<br />

González<br />

Spanish Photographer<br />

I’m Gemini, from Madrid of extremaduran descent. Since I was<br />

born I was sucking the photography in my home. My Father is a<br />

well-known photographer in Spain, landscape and social and<br />

expert on black and white photography and slide. He made my<br />

mouth water as he gave me my first camera when I was 14. I<br />

still remember the lab my father had at our home, the smell of<br />

the photographic fixer and processing, the red light...<br />

After an interruption in which I studied advertising and graphic<br />

design, about 10 years ago I professionally turned back to this<br />

one of my passions in the digital age.<br />

In my country, the specialized critique is now considering me to<br />

one of the photographers with the greatest projection in the<br />

niche of the photography of people. They say I have a great<br />

intuition and a strong sense of composition. My works try to<br />

reflect the beauty and glamor with snapshots that convey some<br />

feeling for someone to see it. My philosophy is to be the<br />

imagination, the quality, the sensuality and of course, respect<br />

for others, the viewer of my photographs and of course the<br />

people I work with.


I photograph basically with pleasure and for self-realization, but I<br />

also attempt to give the viewer a feeling of a kind of emotion<br />

when he is contemplating my work, then I also photograph<br />

thinking at the people who are following me.<br />

My inspirations are photographers like Meisel and Bitesnich and<br />

particularly the grandmaster Helmut Newton.<br />

I'm basically autodidact, although I additionally have completed<br />

my training by the teachings of my father, with multiple courses<br />

and master in photography.<br />

In the face of the progress in both photography and postprocessing<br />

that occur daily in the digital age, I try to be<br />

constantly evolving in both technical and conceptual. I consider<br />

myself lucky, to be able working on what I really like. I have a<br />

good relationship to my friends, I like to sail and feel the ocean or<br />

the mountain breeze. I love the culture of wine and good food<br />

and sharing the pleasures of life with my family and the people<br />

who really matter me."

By Uwe Olhendorff<br />

Of course suitable buildings belong to the maritime flair.<br />

This “Dockland” called office building that is inspired by a<br />

motor yacht welcomes all incoming ships.<br />

The roof deck is free accessible to everybody and<br />

promises stunning views of the river Elbe and the port of<br />

Hamburg.


Hamburg's buildings do not grow to the sky.<br />

However they are exciting. Witness the<br />

composition of modern architecture and<br />

classic style.


Impressions of the HAFENCITY<br />

At the place where more than 500 years ago the infamous pirate captain<br />

Störtebeker was beheaded, is today created the Hafen City, a new<br />

district in the center of Hamburg.<br />

Here the most prestigious architects are giving their fancy full scope<br />

creating extravagant and futuristic buildings that affects the image of this<br />

district and nevertheless harmonizes with the old buildings of the 19th<br />

Century in the adjacent “Speicherstadt” (warehouse district).<br />

The Unilever House and the Marco Polo Tower belong to the most<br />

outstanding buildings. The glass facade is surrounded by a plastic<br />

coating that gives this building a futuristic vision. Inside are offices and a<br />

small shopping center, which only offers merchandises of Unilever, one<br />

of the giants of the food industry.<br />

The Marco Polo Tower, named after the medieval venetian Chinatraveler<br />

Marco Polo, houses luxury apartments.<br />

Unilever House and Marco Polo Tower


Sumatra Building<br />

It is early evening on a normal weekday. The setting sun bathes leafy<br />

squares and colorful promenades, floating pontoons and architectural<br />

landmarks in a warm light. People from all over the world dander on the<br />

Überseequartier (Overseas Quarter), drift from the varied range of shops,<br />

restaurants and cafes of the Überseeboulevard . Like a living river wriggles<br />

the promenade through the modern buildings of the district, passes the<br />

culinary market which offers specialties from all over the world, and finally<br />

flows to the overseas terraces at the river Elbe.<br />

The Sumatra Building is part of the new Überseequartier. The facades give<br />

us the impression as if a gigantic white paint bucket would be overturned on<br />

the roof and the color runs down slowly. The rays of the sun are refracting a<br />

thousand times, flooding the impressive foyer light and exuding vibrant<br />

energy.<br />

There are other complex of buildings with sonorous names that are<br />

synonymous with historically valuable trade goods, with which Hamburg’s<br />

traders negotiated worldwide: SUMATRA, JAVA and VIRGINIA stands for<br />

tobacco, ARABIC and PACAMARA for coffee, CEYLON for tea,<br />

CINNAMON for spices, SILK and LINNEN for textiles, and finally<br />

PALISANDER, KAMBALA, LIMBA and MERANTI for exotic woods.


130 years ago, began the construction of the Speicherstadt (warehouse<br />

district). In the red brick buildings that today form a pleasant contrast to the<br />

modern and futuristic glass buildings of the Hafen City, were once stored<br />

Hamburg's most valuable commodities such as tea, coffee, spices, fine<br />

cloths, oriental carpets, etc. At that time, the warehouse district was<br />

"abroad". Custom borders were on all roads to this quarter; hence the trade<br />

goods were not stored in Germany and therefore neither had be taxed nor<br />

cleared. A big advantage for traders who this way saved much money and<br />

established their wealth.<br />

Today are located in the buildings of the warehouse district museums,<br />

restaurants and bars, event venues and much more.<br />

Among others, there are:<br />

. The “Miniatur Wunderland Hamburg”, the largest miniature railroad in the<br />

world. 930 model trains run on 13 kilometers rails in a 1,300 square foot<br />

complex, where real landscapes and cities of Central Europe, Scandinavia<br />

and the U.S. are shown. For example, the cities of Las Vegas and Miami,<br />

as well as the Cape Canaveral Spaceport.<br />

Speicherstadt


Contradictory and nonetheless harmoniously: modern glass buildings of the<br />

21st Century in contrast to the buildings of the 19th Century. Hamburg's<br />

HafenCity is like a big architectural exhibition, in which the old and the new,<br />

the special and the normal are impressively presented.<br />

Hamburg Dungeon, a lively history of Hamburg's worst disasters of the<br />

last 800 years, in which the audience is part of the show. The floods of 1717<br />

and 1962, the Great Fire of Hamburg, which destroyed 1842 a quarter of the<br />

city, the Black Death, the Inquisition, torture, and of course the legendary<br />

decapitation of Störtebeker will be presented impressively in a combination<br />

of horror, show and ghost train.<br />

The International Maritime Museum with more than 40,000 exhibits,<br />

individual pieces about navigation, shipbuilding, marine research and much<br />

more things from antiquity to the present day.<br />

The Spice Museum, in which are exposed more than 50 types of spices<br />

from all around the world. Visitors can taste all the spices, they learn from<br />

what countries the spices come from, how they are processed, and what<br />

effects they cause. A highlight is the cooking event, where visitors can learn<br />

how to use the spices properly.


When Hamburg celebrates...<br />

The metro and the buses are full of people that weekend. From<br />

everywhere they flock to participate in this event in July. They are colorful<br />

dressed; wear colored wigs, flashy clothes and makeup, oversized<br />

glasses. They dance and sing frolic and good-humored.<br />

The destination of the crowd is St. Pauli, the district of Hamburg which is a<br />

little different, with its famous Reeperbahn. 600,000 dancing and singing<br />

fans of the German pop-music starting here accompanying the 44 trucks<br />

with loud music through the streets of Hamburg.<br />

The Schlagermove is currently considered the biggest event in Germany.<br />

A special feature is the "samba trains" which that day coming from all over<br />

Germany with dance cabins to Hamburg.<br />

The Reeperbahn: Here starts each year in July the "Schlagermove". In the<br />

background the "Dancing Towers" that perfectly fits in this environment.


But there is much more to<br />

celebrate. Every May, Hamburg<br />

celebrates the birthday of his<br />

port. More than one million<br />

visitors are enjoying four days<br />

long an unforgettable show on<br />

the north bank of the river Elbe.<br />

In late August is the<br />

"Alstervergnügen" a popular<br />

four-day Festival around the<br />

Alster.<br />

The gastronomy and stalls are presenting here their specialties, local<br />

artists are performing on the many stages and as a highlight, the guests<br />

enjoy a spectacular firework on the “Binnenalster”.<br />

The "Hamburger Dom" (an<br />

amusement park) opens three<br />

times a year. Middle of March to<br />

middle of April as the Spring<br />

Festival, late July to late August<br />

as "Hummelfest" and early<br />

November to early December as<br />

"Dom-Markt". Millions of people<br />

are visiting each year this great<br />

event in the city center with over<br />

260 fair attractions and 110<br />

dining establishments.<br />

A special event is the "Altonaer Fischmarkt" (the Altona fish market) that<br />

takes place every Sunday from 5 to 10.30 am directly on the river Elbe. It<br />

is said that the people of Hamburg are not going to church, but to the fish<br />

market. But now there are visiting much more this market and they enjoy<br />

the big variety of choice. Although called "fish market" there are textiles,<br />

flags, small tools for selling, even animals like chickens, pigeons and<br />

rabbits.<br />

A very special event happens each Sunday at the "Fischauktionshalle"<br />

next to the Fischmarkt, which offers "special brunch" with live music on<br />

two stages.


At 10 of September 2013, Sony Music published the new<br />

production of Gloria Estefan: The Standards. In memory of the<br />

great tunes of the American songwriters, The Standards will<br />

provide the fans of Gloria Estefan worldwide with internationally<br />

renowned classics, sung in English, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese<br />

and French, with some renewed lyrics, written by her.<br />

This album also<br />

outstands because<br />

of the contributions<br />

of awarded and<br />

worldwide<br />

recognized artists<br />

like the interpreter<br />

and author Laura<br />

Pausini, violinist<br />

Joshua Bell and<br />

saxophonist Dave<br />

Koz.<br />

Photographic support:<br />

Andres Reina A


his ambitious proposal "had been pending for a<br />

long time," according Estefan, who approached this<br />

repertoire alongside Frank Sinatra on his album “Duets”<br />

(1993), singing "Come Rain Or Come Shine" with him, and<br />

more recently with Tony Bennett on his album Duets II,<br />

singing "Who Can I Turn To (When Nobody Needs me)".


Estefan waited to make a classic album until "have counted on<br />

enough springs," she confirms, "because there are so many<br />

ballads that require experiences for a release with an adequate<br />

credibility."<br />

The concept really accelerated during a dinner with the board of<br />

the Frost School of Music at the University of Miami, where Shelly<br />

Berg, who made artistic production and musical arrangements for<br />

artists like Patti Austin, Elliot Smith and Arturo Sandoval, serves<br />

as rector.<br />

As we sat at the piano just for having fun he asked me to sing a<br />

song which I had presented 30 years ago during our first<br />

performance at the Carson Show, "says Estefan, recalling her<br />

presentation of "Conga", which was her first resounding success<br />

with Miami Sound Machine in 1985.During this broadcast of The<br />

Tonight Show she also sang "Good Morning Heartache," the<br />

classic of Billie Holiday, which is now part of The Standards.


"This album closes the circle for me!" she says, and points<br />

out that she has chosen all themes "with my heart and what I<br />

feel." Estefan presented Berg a list of 50 classics that "touch<br />

me personally and made me cry." She recorded 16 songs live<br />

in the studio, keeping a team of four very talented musicians,<br />

all of them masters of the genre, and with a wonderful<br />

orchestra.<br />

"Something magical happens when the musicians recorded<br />

together live," she explains. "Everything went as well as it<br />

should - the stars become apparent!"


During the recordings, Estefan looked for "a sexy<br />

atmosphere, romantic and intimate," she confirms. "I wanted<br />

to make an album that did not have just one more note, with<br />

an economy of arrangements so that it would feel very<br />

intimate and it was just enough to express the emotions of the<br />

song."<br />

Estefan enriched these classics with fresh ideas. "For<br />

example, 'They Can’t Take That Away From Me', which we<br />

recorded completely different than it previously had been<br />

done, a rhythm 6/8, where we almost were merging Afro-<br />

Cuban with the waltz," she says.<br />

For her version of Brazilian Antonio Carlos Jobins big success<br />

"Eu Sei Que Vou Te Amar" wrote Estefan the lyrics and<br />

recorded it for the first time in English with the title "It's You I'll<br />

Always Love." She also wrote the Spanish lyrics and even<br />

recorded it in French, a language she studied in school, with<br />

the title "Tu Sais Je Vais T'aimer".<br />

She also wrote the Spanish lyrics for "Smile", penned by<br />

Charlie Chaplin, which she sings a duet with Laura Pausini in<br />

Spanish and Italian.<br />

"This song always has made me cry," she says. "Charlie<br />

Chaplin spent his life making the people laugh and smile, and<br />

it is one of the songs which break your heart. To record it was<br />

overwhelming because Michael Jackson made a great<br />

version, as well as Natalie Cole. There are so many versions.<br />

I wanted to contribute my own sensibility because it has been<br />

so special to me, and Laura Pausini is extraordinary."


"The Day You Love Me", the song of the Argentine idol<br />

Carlos Gardel, for which Estefan wrote the first English<br />

translation ("The Day You Say You Love Me"), has a special<br />

meaning.<br />

"It was the song of my marriage where Emilio and I were<br />

dancing!" she tells us. "I wanted to record it. It never had<br />

been performed in English, and I wanted to come so close<br />

to the author as possible and I was so inspired. Before<br />

recording the album, I wrote the translation. It's always nice<br />

when you can write a classic! "<br />

“The Standards "is an album which was completely recorded<br />

live, with topics that pertain to the legacy of great artists of<br />

American and Hispanic classic. The album is accessible<br />

since 10 of September this year and in the first week it was<br />

listed at number 20 of the albums top-sellers charts of this<br />

year for the present, according to the Billboard Magazine!


With the new versions, Gloria pays tribute to great themes of<br />

Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Carlos<br />

Gardel and Charles Chaplin, that belonged to her childhood<br />

and represent those classics that never will be forgotten in the<br />

American collective.<br />

Andres / David:<br />

Gloria, why did you make<br />

this album? We already<br />

had enjoyed Latin albums<br />

like the successful "Mi<br />

Tierra" 1993 and "Gloria",<br />

the dance album of 1998.<br />

Gloria Estefan: Since my<br />

childhood I dreamed about<br />

making an album like "The<br />

Standards". I most wanted<br />

to do this job right now and<br />

with it, I fulfill a dream<br />

which I have had for many<br />

years.<br />

This is the right moment to<br />

make it because it is<br />

important to have enough<br />

life experience so that you<br />

really can express what<br />

you want to note to every<br />

recorded song on this<br />

album. On this album I<br />

collected classics that, in<br />

one way or another, have<br />

had a special meaning in<br />

their life.


A/D: How did you start performing this wonderful album?<br />

GE: I took Shelly Berg – the producer of the album, a great pianist,<br />

and connoisseur of the classics of jazz - a list of 50 topics. We sat<br />

six hours in his studio. I made him cry, he made me cry... and so we<br />

selected 16 themes, of which 15 were recorded, I was able to sing<br />

in five languages: English, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and French.


The list of themes corresponding to the lyrics that were<br />

published "between twenty and fifty years, which was used in<br />

double meanings because it wasn’t very widespread to talk<br />

openly about love and sensuality."<br />

Official track list of the new album of Gloria Estefan<br />

1. Good Morning Heartache<br />

2. They Can't Take That Away From Me<br />

3. What A Difference A Day Makes<br />

4. I've Grown Accustomed To His Face<br />

5. Eu Sei Que Vou Te Amar<br />

6. The Day You Say You Love Me (Feat. Joshua Bell)<br />

7. Embraceable You<br />

8. What A Wonderful World<br />

9. How Long Has This Been Going On (Feat. Dave Koz)<br />

10. Sonríe (Smile) (Feat. Laura Pausini)<br />

11. The Way You Look Tonight (Feat. Dave Koz)<br />

12. You Made Me Love You<br />

13. Young At Heart


I admit that among the favorite themes of this album, "El día que<br />

me quieras" (The Day You Say You Love Me (feat. Joshua Bell,<br />

adapted by me in English) by Carlos Gardel, was the theme<br />

which made me more emotional to may have it on the record,<br />

because it was my wedding song with my one and only love<br />

Emilio.<br />

A/D: Gloria you never cease your Latin heritage. Reflecting to<br />

this album "THE STANDARDS", can we recognize on this record<br />

any Latin?<br />

G. E. You know that I will never leave it; my Latin roots are<br />

manifested in several of the songs, especially on "You made me<br />

love you". We made a very Latin version. As I heard it, I thought<br />

that it was open to put a background with Latin rhythms. Here is<br />

Cuba accompanied with this Cuban flavor".<br />

A/D This album features great artists, the beautiful and talented<br />

Laura Pausini with whom you performed the duet "Smile", the<br />

violinist Joshua Bell, and the renowned saxophonist Dave Koz.<br />

How was the recording of the album?<br />

G. E. That's right! This album features collaborations with violinist<br />

Joshua Bell, saxophonist Dave Koz and the Italian singer and<br />

songwriter Laura Pausini. With Laura Pausini I cultivate a<br />

friendship and together we interpret the Spanish and Italian<br />

version of "Smile".<br />

A/D Is it very difficult to interpret a theme in Portuguese? In this<br />

album we find the song "Eu sei que vou te amar"<br />

G. E. The Brazilian composition "Eu sei que vou te amar", a work<br />

by Vinicius de Moraes and Antonio Carlos Jobim was wonderful!<br />

In a way it keeps respect for the Latin, moreover it remembers<br />

me when we were recording the Portuguese version of the song<br />

"Here we are" in 1989 for the album "Cuts both ways" where we<br />

had hits like "Get on your feet" and "oye mi canto".


A/D You presented your album "The standards" by giving a<br />

concert that was recorded live, we saw that you went in with<br />

your voice for compositions that have been sung by artists in a<br />

dimension like Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington<br />

or Ella Fitzgerald. How was that experience?<br />

G. E. Wonderful! Besides being of great responsibility, not every<br />

day you can give such a concert and so well-orchestrated! In<br />

fact we make a version with a lot of respect for my fans, a jazz<br />

version of the song "Conga", and the audience loved it! lol<br />

(laughing). Among other titles of this album, it presents "What a<br />

wonderful world", an old and global success in the voice of the<br />

jazzy Louis Armstrong, and "Young at heart", one of the hymns<br />

of Frank Sinatra with whom I had the privilege to sing the great<br />

classic “Come rain or come shine” on his album DUETS 1993.<br />

So you may get the idea to do it right or do it right!


A/D Is there any tour planned with this album?<br />

G. E. Oh yes of course! In October, we’re going to make a<br />

promotion tour in Europe. We will give concerts in London (at<br />

the Royal Albert Hall), The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and<br />

Spain, presenting "The Standards". There will be also concerts<br />

in the U.S. and there is planned a tour of Latin America such as<br />

Brazil. We’re hoping to come to more countries which I adore<br />

like Colombia.<br />

A/D should be to serve the fans. How is Gloria Estefan to her<br />

fans?<br />

G. E. When I leave my house I am very aware that people will<br />

ask me for autographs and hugs. That doesn’t bother me. I love<br />

those people, "I am what I have reached, because these people<br />

have believed in my talent, my affection for them to deliver high<br />

quality work and try to give an example as a woman, mother,<br />

wife, friend and daughter. While my children had to learn to<br />

share their parents and the people around us.


A/D Any memories of Colombia?<br />

G. E. Uff a lot of! I remember the “Into the Light” World Tour in<br />

1992, we were at the stadium El Campin in Bogota, I think<br />

that's the name right? The earth quaked under the number of<br />

attendees and we were worry with my band Miami Sound<br />

Machine, because we didn’t know at what time the stadium<br />

could fall down, it was unbelievable. I exactly remember that<br />

night; also hits like Abiendo Puertas or Mi Tierra have that<br />

Colombian legacy with composers like Kike Santander and<br />

Estefano. The magnificent and short presentation in Cartagena<br />

in 1995! My fans in Colombia are beautiful. They’re always in<br />

my heart!<br />

A/D How do you see the Colombian music?<br />

G. E. It is rising; it is now part of the music of the world. One of<br />

my favorites is Carlos Vives, his music is very rich, and it has<br />

much of his folklore, but at the same time is modern. And I am<br />

proud to have been part of the career of the great Shakira to<br />

whom I have a<br />

deep respect and<br />

admiration, love it!<br />

A/D Have you a<br />

special message to<br />

the Colombians<br />

who are reading<br />

this article?<br />

G. E. I love them<br />

very much; they<br />

always believe in<br />

their goals and<br />

dreams! With great<br />

affection ... Gloria!

Arango<br />

Photographer and<br />

Graphic Designer


Camilo Arango, born in Medellín, shows with his 22 years<br />

deep interest in the art of photography which is reflected in the<br />

versatility, creativity and quality of his work. An extraordinary<br />

ability for detecting the beauty and to sensualize it makes this<br />

young man to the new revelation in this field.<br />

His photographs are revealing only a small fragment of<br />

something larger, of something that is always hidden and it is<br />

essential to discover it, his pictures are always precise,<br />

impeccable and very sensual.<br />

The perception of fashion through the lens of the camera of a<br />

photographer is the result of an intimate process of analysis,<br />

reflection and above all seduction. Seduction which must<br />

necessarily arise between the photographer, the model and<br />

the garment and in that, this Antioquia is a maestro. All his<br />

works always have a touch of naturalness, always seeking to<br />

portray the essence of every being.<br />
