MARIACHI USA Goes to Cuba

March 22, 2016

STUDIO CITY, California and LA HABANA, Cuba, March 22, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — MARIACHI USA, the premier mariachi music festival in the U.S., is headed to Cuba for a historic performance this Fall. Mariachi musicians, singers and dancers will converge in La Habana on October 4-11, 2016, as part of a seven-day, six-night tour offered by Cuba Tours and Travel, announced Rodri J. Rodriguez, MARIACHI USA founder and longtime concert producer. The show’s company of 25 artists will perform on Sunday, October 9, at Teatro América, a historic theater built in the 1940s that has hosted international top talent over the years.

“My driving passion has always been to return to Cuba to entertain my people, to do what I do best,” says Rodriguez. “I’m taking a version of what we’ve been presenting at the Hollywood Bowl for 27 years. Our sole purpose is to entertain the people of Cuba in a unique cultural exchange, uniting the heritage of three countries. We are creating a labor of love, celebrating music and the spirit of humanity.”

In addition to the historic performance, MARIACHI USA’s musicians, singers and dancers will hold workshops with local performers and students.

Creating a space for mariachi music on a world stage has been Rodriguez’s passion since 1990. She founded MARIACHI USA believing “a world-class music deserves a world-class stage.” She was convinced more people would love mariachi when they experienced it in a proper forum. Securing that space for mariachi took hard work, grit, and an unshakable belief in the music. MARIACHI USA has since made history: when it sold out its first year, when it became the second longest running show to play at the Hollywood Bowl, and for being the Bowl’s only annual Latino-themed event. The five-hour festival features mariachi bands from the U.S. and Mexico, traditional folklorico dances and spectacular fireworks.

“I consider myself a guardian of this magnificent musical legacy,” emphasizes Rodriguez. That legacy extends to Cuba, her native country. Earlier generations of Cubans enjoyed the music of Mexican artists such as Jose Alfredo Jimenez, Jorge Negrete and Pedro Infante, who visited in the 1940s and 50s. Recently mariachi has experienced resurgence in Cuba and is a popular choice for celebrations and even quinceañeras.

NEW YORK, March 22, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The duo BSide, formed by brothers Ethan and Nico, is making a breakthrough in the US thanks to their first single “Tell Everybody” (http://www.bside4everybody.com/). Their mixed, urban style transmits the cosmopolitan and multi-ethnic air of the European city of Barcelona, as did Alvaro Soto, also from Barcelona, and his song featuring Jennifer López, “El Mismo Sol”, which became the number-one hit in many European countries last summer.

Ethan and Nico are responsible for the entire creative process of their music, from start to finish: they write, compose, record and edit their own songs. The single, “Tell Everybody”, is the star of their first LP, which includes other songs with an American and indie influence that are perfect for dancing.

According to the Huffington Post, “Throughout history musical brothers have dominated the charts. The Everly Brothers, Bee Gees and Hanson have all found an audience and achieved success. Now, two brothers from Barcelona, Ethan and Nico, known as BSide, hope to join the ranks”.

“We are fighters. That’s why we call ourselves BSide, because we confront life”, says Ethan, 19. “Whatever the colour of your skin, your religion or your sexual orientation, nobody can tell you what to do”, adds Nico, 17.

The BSide brothers confirm that they find inspiration in Michael Jackson, One Direction and Justin Bieber, sound they mix with the music of the Mediterranean culture. In addition to this single, their next disc will feature some more eclectic numbers, dance beats and meaningful lyrics that will leave no one indifferent.

The BSide single is a production of Wave Music, a company that forms part of the Dídac Sánchez business group. Wave Music was created in 2015 in Barcelona to promote talent in all musical cultures. This spring Wave Music will launch its first groups, BSide and Two Servings of Vanilla.

Eggs, Springtime Celebrations, and Food Poisoning

March 22, 2016

0

SILVER SPRING, Maryland, March 22, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The egg has been regarded as a symbol of new life and has been associated with springtime celebrations, such as Easter and Passover, for many centuries. But, even during festive occasions, eggs can cause food poisoning (also called foodborne illness). That’s why the U.S. Food and Drug Administration reminds consumers to follow safe food handling practices when buying, storing, preparing, and serving eggs or foods that contain them during their springtime celebrations and throughout the year.

http://www.fda.gov/Food/ResourcesForYou/Consumers/ucm077342.htm
http://www.fda.gov/ForConsumers/ConsumerUpdates/ucm170640.htm

Salmonella can be found on both the outside and inside of eggs that look perfectly normal. These bacteria can cause diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, and fever. Symptoms usually last 4 to 7 days and most people get better without treatment. However, certain people, such as children, older adults, pregnant women, and people with weakened immune systems (such as transplant patients and individuals with HIV/AIDS, cancer, and diabetes), are at greater risk for severe illness. In these individuals, a Salmonella infection may spread from the intestines to the blood stream and then to other parts of the body, and can cause death unless the person is treated promptly with antibiotics.

Protect yourself and your family by following these food safety tips to prevent food poisoning:

Clean

Wash hands, utensils, dishes, and work surfaces (counter tops and cutting boards) with soap and hot water after contact with raw eggs and raw egg-containing foods.
Discard cracked or dirty eggs.

Separate

Never let raw eggs come into contact with food that will be eaten raw (or with utensils that could cross-contaminate other foods).

Cook

Cook eggs thoroughly until both the yolk and white are firm. Lightly cooked egg whites and yolks have both caused outbreaks of Salmonella infections.
Casseroles and other dishes containing eggs should be cooked to 160° F. Use a food thermometer to be sure.
Eat eggs promptly after cooking. Do not keep eggs warm or at room temperature (between 40° to 140° F) for more than 2 hours.
For recipes that call for raw or undercooked eggs (like Caesar salad dressing and homemade ice cream), consider using pasteurized shell eggs or pasteurized egg products.

Chill

Buy eggs only if sold from a refrigerator or refrigerated case. Keeping eggs adequately refrigerated prevents any Salmonella bacteria in or on the eggs from growing to higher numbers (which makes them more likely to cause illness).
At home, keep eggs refrigerated at 40° F or below until they are needed. Use a refrigerator thermometer to check.
Refrigerate unused eggs or leftovers that contain eggs promptly.
For school or work, pack cooked eggs with a small frozen gel pack or a frozen juice box.

Eating Out

Avoid restaurant dishes made with raw or undercooked, unpasteurized eggs.
When in a restaurant, ask if they use pasteurized eggs before ordering anything that might result in consumption of raw or undercooked eggs (such as Hollandaise sauce or Caesar salad dressing).
