Marc Anthony wore sunglasses because behind the dark glasses to Stevie Wonder were hiding two red, swollen eyes. The salsero horse, as Carlos Vives calls it, has received the night of this Wednesday a prize in the highest: the Latin American music industry has recognized it as the Person of the Year. Marco Antonio Muñiz, […]
Tomatito and Michel Camilo are now adults. They have just celebrated 18 years of alliance between the strings of their piano and their guitar since they got together a good day to play together in Barcelona.

The date is Saturday, October 15 in the middle of the field, next to a fence.
