Tena TAndrés (Alcora, 

Castellón; 1992) was born 

parading through the halls 

of her house. Since 

childhood, heels, lipstick 

and skirts, were her toys 

every day. But over time, 

the games became dreams, 

and from very young she 

has been professionally 

dedicated to the world of 

fashion. 

She began making small 

fashion shows for fashion 

brands, private showroom 

and catalogs and today, she 

has already paraded in 

prestigious fashion runways 

of Castellón, Valencia and 

Madrid, among many 

others. 

Her position as a finalist in 

the contest of Revelation 

Model of the Valencian 

Community, organized by 

ANDE (National Association 

of New and Young 

Designers of Spain), opened 

the doors of other events 

like the Miss World 

Castellón, where was 

proclaimed Second Lady. 

But behind the heels and 

flashing cameras is the pen. 

Veronica's hand writes 

devious at night her 

passions, feelings and 

desires. Her first poetic 

work "My isobars. From the 

runway to the paper" is a 

mirror of her heart. A 

mirror in which everyone 

that takes a look, will feel 

reflected. 

But Veronica's love for 

literature goes much 

further, and soon we will be 

surprised.

Dennis Fernando at his young 

age, has achieved what few 

people have done! Opening 

concerts for the big names of 

the latin song world. After 

going through the show “A 

Otro Nivel” (To Another 

Level) of Caracol TV, he was 

invited by the great star of 

soaps in Colombia Gustavo 

Bolivar to perform on the 

soundtrack of a new series 

for television. Especially for 

LATIN AMERICAN MODEL, 

the renowned revelation 

singer Dennis Fernando! 

In what city were you 

born? 

Restrepo, Meta. 

At what age did you 

discover your passion for 

music? 

First of all they tried to take 

at baton to learn violin and 

classical music here in 

Bogotá, but according to 

teachers I was no good for 

this (laughs), at 9 years I 

returned to the plains and 

had a first approach to the 

music by some musical 

groups that sang in church, 

they did it with a very R&B 

style and at that time I didn’t 

know what that was, but I 

really liked it; then I took a 

damaged guitar I had in my 

house and I went to the 

church to make noise until 

they got desperate with me 

and showed me 4 chords, 

then I was sent home to 

practice. And so it began. 

How do you define your 

current style as a singer? 

My style is really fresh, a 

mixture of pop with a very 

youthful and passionate 

urban beat. 


PHOTOGRAPHER 

ANDRES 

REINA A. 


How did you get in the 

professional musical world? 

Through the group “OIGAN A 

MI TIO” (hear my uncle) with 

whom I had the opportunity to 

meet several places and 

influential people in the music 

business as Belinda, Pitbull, 

Zion and Lennox and others. 

What countries? 

Mexico, Spain, USA. 

You have opened major 

concerts, with which artists? 

I opened concerts of artists 

such as Zion and Lennox, Don 

Omar, Wisin y Yandel, 

Choquibtown, Malura, the 

farewell tour in Colombia of 

Vicente Fernandez, Belinda 

among many others. 

Is my understanding that you 

also develop artistically as a 

composer. 

What inspires you? 

Songwriter, musician and 

producer (laughs), music is the 

engine of my life in all its 

facets, at composition level I 

have two inspiration engines, 

my stories, my own 

experiences and certain 

emotions. Is what would I have 

to say if I felt such emotion in 

such a situation. 

What makes you go 

independent and promote 

yourself as Dennis Fernando? 

I always was the frontman of 

the group “OIGAN A MI TIO”; I 

always knew that I had to take 

a step as a solo artist, but I 

believe this is the right time for 

it. 

I hear that you actually have 

several singles in the air and 

a project for an album, what 

is coming? 

Now is coming several singles 

in collaboration with Colombian 

artists, my songs 


AUGUST 2016|37|LATIN AMERICAN MODEL 

will be part of several 

movies of Telemundo and of 

the worldwide series “Sin 

senos si hay paraiso” 

(Without breast there is 

paradise) - and my first 

mixtape with the support of 

Tigo Music. 

What singles do you 

currently have? 

My single - “Quisiera ser” - 

that is on the first places of 

the top 5 in several cities of 

Colombia and Peru. 

Who would you like to 

sing with? 

I want to sing with Bruno 

Mars, I think he’s a great 

artist.

AUGUST 2016 |38|LATIN AMERICAN MODEL 

To finish, what 

message do you give 

to the readers of

what they like, but 

they have to do it well, 

with discipline and a 

lot of love! And to 

invite them to listen to

BUSTOS 



“I was born in Córdoba on 

May 17, 1989 and I’m the 

older of two sisters. I’m 

graduated in Tourism 

from the University of 

Cordoba and also have a 

degree in advertising and 

public relations from the 

University of Cadiz. 

I started in the fashion 

world at my 16 years 

thanks to a beauty 

contest I won in Seville 

called 'model look' and 

that gave me the 

opportunity to make a 

fashion course in “Doble 

Erre” agency, in addition 

to my first photos of 

book, my first publisher 

and my first cover. 

Later on reaching 18 

years I moved to Madrid 

with the intention to 

continue working in 

fashion and start the 

degree in environmental 

sciences there. 

My first trip as an 

international model was 

to Milan, famous for its 

fashion week, modeling 

for various Italian 

designers. It was quite an 

experience since I had not 

mastered English nor 

Italian. 

I have been traveling to 

this day combining my 

work with studies. 

I paraded and worked in 

both runways and fashion 

editorials: Mercedes 

Fashion Week in Madrid, 

Barcelona’s Gaudi Hall, 

Dubai, Malaysia, Thailand, 

Morocco, New York, 

Cyprus and the most 

recent trip is Istanbul. 


There was only a hiatus 

over these ten years 

between 2010 and 2012 

when I had surgery for 

parotid cancer causing 

facial paralysis on the 

right side and I'm fully 

recovered. This 

experience gave me the 

strength and enthusiasm 

needed to continue to 

enjoy my passion for 

fashion and photography 

and be more demanding 

with the work I do. “

ALISSON 

Calderón Rotondaro 

With: OSCAR GRAU 




Alisson Calderón 

Rotondaro Awas born in 

Barranquilla, Colombia 

on the 27th of November 

1990. 

"When I was 14 years 

old I moved to Las 

Palmas de Gran Canaria, 

in Spain. When I finished 

High School I started 

studing Business 

Management at the 

university, as that is a 

career for people who 

have in mind to have 

their own business. 

When I finished my 

degree I realized that my 

passion and my affinity 

was with fashion, as I 

have been involved in 

the fashion world since 

my childhood. It was a 

hobby that began at an 

early age. 

I decided to move to 

Barcelona, where I 

continued my studies 

and carried out a 

specialization at the 

School of Design 

GemmA, where I have 

developed my view of 

the fashion world, my 

perseverance and my 

passion for art and 

fashion. 

I keep studying, I like to 

push myself to continue 

developing my creativity 

in the fashion world. 

I am passionate about 

fashion, I love to know 

the trends of each 

season, I never get tired 

of watching, reading and 

learning new things 

about this exciting world, 

so I created my own 

fashion blog 

http://www.alissonroton 

daro.es/ 



After much thought, 

finally, I decided and I 

share with people my 

experiences, which reflect 

my everyday style, my 

understanding of fashion 

and beauty, my 

experiences and travels, 

gastronomy and lifestyle 

that I love. I'm close, 

friendly, outgoing and all 

that I reflect on my looks. 

I’m immersed in many 

projects and 

collaborations. 

I created my own label of 

Bikinis, my imagination 

has no limits. 

In addition I continue 

with my career as a 

model and working as 

image in an important 

nightclub of Barcelona. 

I've learned that it's 

important not limite 

yourself. I've always tried 

to do what I really like, no 

matter how many 

obstacles I may find. 

My work is the result of all 

the experiences of my life. 

Now I'm happy with what 

I do and I'm fighting for 

my dream. Following the 

support of my parents, I 

decided to create my own 

firm in Barcelona. And 

that's why ALISSON 

ROTONDARO AR was 

created, a firm 

commitment to create 

colorful bikinis and 

contrast of prints as a 

work of art ready to make 

every woman feel unique. 

As the creator, I know 

perfectly how to interpret 

the tastes and needs of 

the woman who loves 

luxury and elegance. 


I want to thank my mother 

for encouraging me and trust 

me fully, "she is my 

companion, my partner, is 

the focus that illuminates 

me." 

In my free time I like to share 

with my family, with my 

friends, go to the field, the 

GYM ... I like to take good 

care of my body and eat 

healthy, I like reading; one of 

my favorite books is called 

“TU SUERTE” (YOUR LUCK), 

authored by Vicente 

Cassanya. And one of my 

favorite phrases is 

REMEMBER THAT WINS ARE 

BEHIND BARRIERS THAT 

LIFE PLACES IN FRONT OF 

YOU."

PHOTOGRAPHER 

JUAN CARLOS 

LIAÑEZ 


Born 27 years ago in 

Volgograd (Russia), Galia 

she demonstrates daily 

to adapt to her current 

country of residence 

(Spain), speaking perfect 

Spanish even with a 

southern accent, where 

she has spent the eight 

years leading up to 

today. 

Her career began in 

Almeria in Spain where 

fate doesn’t threw up 

much luck in all areas 

and after deciding to 

change her life radically 

she went to Costa del 

Sol, where she found 

practically everything a 

woman needs. 

Adores among other 

things the country's 

gastronomy highlighting 

fruit, vegetables and a 

good Rioja wine. With 

measures that touch on 

perfection (90-65-87) 

and is 175 cm, Galia 

considers herself a 

simple girl and a fighter, 

lover of sport and a good 

romantic dinner. 

Her noble character 

contrasts with her strong 

personality typical of 

Russian women. 

Let's say for her studies 

and experience she could 

be called an accountant 

but her goals are far 

from that profession. In 

the process of launching 

an "exciting real estate 

project" in her words, 

she decided to start in 

the modeling world of 

photography few months 

ago. 


Since the great 

sensation caused in 

social networks with her 

photos, predominating 

her spectacular smile 

and huge green eyes, 

Galia assures us that 

she wants to take the 

next step and we give 

witness to this with this 

spectacular and 

exclusive report for 


MODEL which shows 

her more sensual and 

unknown side. 

Her entry into the world 

of modeling has been 

welcomed by many 

photographers who are 

continuously contacting 

her offering new 

proposals and ideas, 

which has her full of 

enthusiasm but lacks 

the time to serve all. 

She is more than aware 

that the ground is the 

most appropriate place 

to have your feet for 

the difficulties of this 

world in which she 

enters without knowing 

how far it goes but 

convinced she will make 

the way to the end. 

"Photography is 

addictive... you will 

always want more and 

better" and she 

compares it with 

tattoos, another of her 

passions. Today, she is 

still learning at a 

breakneck pace this 

tough profession from 

the faces more 

appropriate to the best 

pose used at all times, 

clothes. 




"Each photographer 

gives me a grain of 

sand in my tiny 

desert." 

Galia 

considers that she is 

the typical person who 

just finishes everything 

she starts among 

other things because 

time is money and she 

doesn’t want to lose it. 

Her opinion about the 

type of picture that 

she likes is clear: 

Variety is the spice; 

times change and you 

have to go adapting 

and molding yourself 

along. 

She doesn’t hide that 

sensual photography is 

with which she feels 

more comfortable 

although she also likes 

the abundance of color 

and the background 

landscape. Juan Carlos 

Liañez, friend and 

photographer of her 

latest article among 

other things taught 

her the importance of 

simplicity. "He's born 

for it and makes the 

difficult in an easy 

thing.“ 

He converses with the 

model continuously 

and lets her be part of 

the final result which is 

a thing not all 

photographers do; this 

has probably been her 

best experience as a 

model and she has 

already decided that 

the beaches of Cádiz 

will stage her next 

awaited summer 

session.

Estrena nuevo sencillo y video “Quicksands” 

coco jadad has 

decided to capture 

every part of her being 

in the music and tell 

the world her story; a 

history of psychedelia, 

surrealism and reality, 

frustration and 

euphoria. 

A beautiful catastrophe 

that traces the 

emotional roller coaster 

and the psyche of the 

human being, and that 

begins to be told with 

“Quicksands”. 

“Quicksands” was cowritten 

by Coco Jadad, 

Sejo Navajas & Sarah 

DeAun McCray, and 

recorded and produced 

by Sejo Navajas on 4th 

Street Studio in Santa 

Monica, California. 

The video for 

"Quicksands" was 

directed by Salomon 

Simhon and produced 

by Colombo Films on 

the outskirts of Bogota 

in the past month of 

April, reflecting a 

musical journey that 

transcends our 

dimension, vacillating 

between Indie Pop, 

Rock and dreams. 

Located in a surreal 

house in ruins, 

inhabited by the 

inevitable conflicts, 

Coco escapes on old 

habits in search of her 

true self. 


“Quicksands” hspeaks 

of having an alter-ego, 

of not knowing who you 

are, of that time of your 

life when you are lost 

due to a problem, an 

obsession or a 

nightmare, and invites 

you to escape the 

quicksand that catches 

you in order to find your 

essence. "Sometimes 

when you are in a lucid 

dream, trance, or 

hallucination, it is 

because you find some 

happiness or sense of 

belonging in that ideal 

world to evade reality. 

But in the end you 

realize you're trapped in 

a nightmare, a maze 

with no way out, in 

quicksand", says Coco.

I'm an actress and dancer. I love 

art in its entirety, I like to have 

many channels to branch out, 

express myself, to investigate. The 

performance was the first career 

where I focused and I spent a lot 

of love and years of training as an 

actress I do independent theater, 

sensitive space, near, and that 

delivers much and I love it! I have 

some companies in which I'm a 

member and other companies that 

hire me and we are always in the 

year presenting beautiful works. 

Also in the film area I made short 

films, some ads and a web series 

which was highly awarded in the 

world, "Estilo Esther” (Esther Style) 

and very soon begin the second 

season. For the dancing, I also 

devoted several years of training, 

and I'm still learning; I’m 

specialized in gogo dance style, 

which is a fusion of styles of 

women’s hip hop used to dance 

electronic music. I dance for a 

producer of dancers, Beauty 

Dancers, and with them we work 

on albums and events, in that 

same producer I’m the artistic 

responsible, so I’m also the 

director of the designs and the 

general outfit of the dancers 

according to the event, which 

means, designing costumes and 

accessories, makeup and hairstyle 

that will accompany each style, I 

also enjoy that area, stimulates all 

the time my creativity and 

response capacity. 

I teach dance, gogo dance style, I 

enjoy teaching must also be a 

heritage of a teacher mom, really 

it’s good for me. For several years 

I taught children's theater, this 

work I also really enjoyed it. I love 

singing, I must confess that is the 

area that has less training school, 

but a lot of experience because in 

my provincial town, singing at a 

young age, always was and is a 

passion also.


I desire to further delve in 

more forms of artistic 

expression, other dances such 

as tango, flamenco, salsa and 

other genres such as painting, 

acrobatics, dressmaking. It‘s a 

pleasure to feel through art, to 

the point of expressing myself 

and feel as though many say, 

"I make art, therefore I am".

have always thought that 

natural is best, so always 

my treatments for skin 

and hair care are natural 

products, also good 

nutrition is essential to 

stay healthy, I like to 

exercise, I go every day to

effective. 

The most important thing 

in my life is my family,

UNDER THE LENS OF OSCAR GRAU 



He is known as DSXZ in the 

modeling world, is 25 years old 

and lives in Girona with her 

partner and her little dog. 

“I’m a very outgoing, sociable, 

cheerful and loving person. I’m 

very active and restless which led 

me to take disparate decisions 

throughout my short life. Not 

everything in my character is 

good, because I consider myself a 

pretty whimsical, overprotective 

with my people and distrustful 

girl. 

I consider myself hardworking 

and feisty as I started working 

with only fifteen years in a bar, 

and throughout my life I have 

always worked in customer 

service in the hotel industry, 

clothes shops and cleaning 

apartments. 

I became independant at sixteen 

when I decided to continue 

studying away from home. 

Luckily without the help from my 

parents It wouldn’t be entirely 

possible. 

I enjoy every day, with people 

who I love; I’m very familiar and 

dedicated to my people. I love 

movies and video games. One of 

my passions are crafts which 

helps me develop my creative 

side since I also studied Fashion 

and Clothing and building 

projects, a bad idea for the times. 

In my personal life the modeling 

world does not have much space, 

because now I work in an agency 

as an administrative accountant. 

I premiered in the modeling world 

when my partner encouraged me 

to have his photographer friend 

making me a session. I 

remember I was so nervous and I 

was so embarrassed I decided to 

leave it as just another 

experience. 




Two years after that, 

an amateur 

photographer invited 

me to do a "cowgirl" 

themed photo session 

and again my partner 

encouraged me to do 

it, and I decided to 

take it. And without 

knowing how or why, 

I began to be 

contacted by different 

photographers 

offering several 

sessions. This led me 

to create a stage 

name to separate my 

personal life. 

Currently my personal 

objective within the 

world of modeling is 

to make advertising, 

brochures, catalogs 

related to jewelry, 

makeup ... I don’t 

intend to live of it but 

I want to make the 

most I can to have a 

good memory. 


I’m also carrying out 

an initiative in which I 

intend to raise 

awareness among 

people of the little 

significance of having 

a physical score 10 

and simultaneously 

also to help small and 

medium businesses to 

advertise their 

business as we 

usually have mania to 

go to the same sites 

always and so we 

overfeed large 

companies. The 

whole process is 

collaborative because 

we all win one way or 

another.

Message from 

the Angels! 

ARIES (March 23 – April 22) 

When all seems to be lost, there is 

always a voice in your heart that 

says everything is ok. Is that faith 

that you always had in yourself, in 

your infinite wish to feel like is 

someone who takes care of you, 

protect you and always wants the 

best for you. Is the time to renew 

that faith and affirm that the God’s 

love will never abandon you. 

TAURUS (April 23 – May 22) 

Since always you had many gifts, in 

special one that let you change your 

environment through cocreation. Is a 

good time for organize the place 

where you live, where you work, 

create new environments and thus 

bring happiness to who surround 

you and have the chance to share 

with you; fill the environments with 

peace, love, light and positive 

energy. 

GEMINI (May 23 – June 22) 

You have the wisdom that comes 

with the time, with experience and 

you know that you can bring to 

others the knowledge to deal with 

situations in the daily life. You 

become wiser as you allow these 

experiences to help others to 

improve their present. 

CANCER (June 23 – July 22) 

Express without fears, avoiding 

limitations for preconceptions of 

behaviors is the way for a healthy 

realization. The more confidence you 

have in yourself, more safety you offer 

so others can trust you. If you don’t 

have sincerity in your heart, you can’t 

give anything with sincerity to others. 

Break free of old patterns and embrace 

the being of spontaneity. 

LEO (July 23 – August 22) 

Love present in every cell of your 

body, reflects what really matters is to 

show what you are inside. You can’t be 

wearing masks to show yourself 

different everytime. In love dwells 

everything that is good and is in every 

action you take, your way to procedure 

should only give your essence and 

what dwells in you to others. 

VIRGO (August 23 – September 22) 

You musn’t be afraid of making 

mistakes, how many times we go 

through life limiting ourselves of 

retrying something because we made 

a mistake and things didn’t go like as 

we expected. Is not the time to 

remember the difficulties, because you 

are called to live intensely and learn 

with every new experience; If you 

make mistakes, learn from them and 

keep going to always improve yourself. 


LIBRA (September 23– October 22) 

Time to intercede for your family and 

friends so everything that comes into 

their lives will be prosperous and full of 

mercy. If you’re planning new business 

or if you can support your family in 

creating them, your prayers will be 

heard to support in these new 

beginnings that apparently are the 

hardest. You can do great things in the 

prayer for your loved ones. 

SCORPIO (October 23 – November 

22) 

A new beginning can’t exist if the past 

is always present. Absolve that burden 

of the past without letting it in the 

shadows, because in that way you are 

only getting a burden forever. 

Reconciling with the past that you 

can’t change anymore, but you can 

see it with eyes of love; forgive, 

forgive yourself, love yourself and spoil 

yourself with the infinity love of GOD 

to heal ourselves and receive the 

present and be ready to enjoy many 

blessings. 

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 – 

December 22) 

Throughout our live we receive love 

from many people, our parents, 

brothers, sisters, friends, etc. But the 

love that we always carry with us is 

the love that grows in our heart. This 

is the love that doesn’t end and let us 

share with who give us love in a 

moment and let us strengthen us to 

give love to the world. 

CAPRICORN (December 23 – 

January 22) 

When we only want to control and 

have the world at our feet the 

challenging ego appears. But when 

we remember that all we are 

comes from the love of GOD 

everything changes and we’re 

merciful. It’s a good time to deliver 

always the best remembering that 

every moment God gives us 

everything we need. 

AQUARIUS (January 23 – 

February 22) 

We may need at some point a 

place where we find peace to listen 

to our inner voice. If you feel your 

life needs to deepen in the path of 

spiritual strength is the time to 

make a stop and look for anything 

that will bring tranquility and peace 

to your life. Right now you feel the 

special call to strengthen your 

spirituality. Listen to your inner 

voice. 

PISCES (February 23 – March 

22) 

It seems that one of the hardest 

things is to express our feelings to 

others. Open the heart, love freely 

and allow others to love us the 

same way. It’s not so difficult if 

you start to feel assured that you 

are loved by GOD and protected at 

all times, even in the adversity, HE 

will protect you and release you 

from any suffering.
