Mariana Vega ASCAP Showcase No Se Van

The other night I had the great fortune to see Mariana Vega perform as part of the ASCAP Showcase for the 2013 Latin Billboard Conference.  On a night that featured four of Latin's Leading Ladies (Mariana Vega, Debi Nova, Kany Garcia, & Lena), the Venezuelan singer provided a tranquil and heartfelt performance that truly won me over as a new listener to her music.  Mariana's music clearly falls into the singer-songwriter category and she uses her strong vocal range to her advantage, ever … [Read more...]

Omar Rey Reyes

A violinist in a major U.S. orchestra once told me to pursue music only if I was absolutely positive that it was the one passion I could see myself engaged in for the rest of my life.  Not every musician is fortunate enough to hear this advice and the road is filled with many obstacles for those who do choose to pursue this dream.  One such dreamer is Omar Rey Reyes, whose music I recently heard for the first time, and his journey has taken him from his hometown of Quetzaltenango, Guatemala, … [Read more...]
