By admin | 02/26/2008 - 12:15 |

Imagine taking the world's coolest lounge sounds, putting them in a blender,
straining them through a filter of old Deee-Lite songs, and then spicing them
with pure Barcelona hipster-style electronica...that's about the recipe for The
Pinker Tones' music. We caught up with the duo and asked
them, basically, how they got tán cool.

Latina.com: Why the name? And why en inglés?

Q&A with Gloria Estefan

By admin | 02/26/2008 - 12:12 |

She’s sold 70 million albums and toured the globe since her debut with Miami Sound Machine, but Gloria
Estefan has never felt closer to home. Her latest Cuban music album, 90 Millas,
proves you can take the girl out of the island, but you can’t take the island
out of the girl.

You left us hanging for four years after your last album, Unwrapped. What
have you been up to?

EXCLUSIVE: Beyoncé Says She's Jealous She Wasn't Born Latina!

By Angie Romero | 02/26/2008 - 12:09 |

Think about it: Although there's a long list of Latino stars who've crossed over to sing in English (Shakira, Ricky, Paulina...) what non-Latin star has successfully done the reverse? We can't think of anyone, which is why Beyoncé's new all-Spanish EP, Irremplazable, is such a big deal.

We caught up with B while she was in NYC promoting the Spanish project to find out why she took that risk—and which Latin stars she thinks are hot!

Tego Calderon made us wait a long time for his last album, The Underdog/El
Subestimado. But this time? Fuacata—He's hitting us with El
Abayarde Contra-Ataca just a year after his last LP dropped—at the same
time he appears in John Singleton's new movie Illegal
Tender. We caught up to the new, workaholic Tego as he ran around a video
set, chased his kids, and answered our questions—all at once:

PvD Goes Cuban

By admin | 02/26/2008 - 11:52 |

German producer/DJ/dance music artist Paul Van Dyk, universally known as PvD,
is back with a new album, In Between, out now. Renowned for his
innovative trance sound, the globetrotting PvD, who this year alone remixed
tracks for both Depeche Mode-"Martyr" and Justin Timberlake-"What Goes Around",
picked Cuba as his inspiration and set it as the breathtaking backdrop for all
the album's artwork. The result? A PvD you've never seen before-one who sips
