In a recent phone interview with 103.9 Radio Sol she states, " Tanto Frida como La Virgen de Guadalupe represent an fuerza y mucha luz. Son dos mujeres muy importantes en mi vida y quise honrarlas en mi nuevo trabajo".

I am sooo in love with this girl. Watch this video and you'll see why.

Espresso for your ears: Locos Por Juana #SeHablaMusica

When I was on the Crafty Chica Cruise last month, Kathy couldn't stop talking about all the bands she saw in Miami a few weeks before. Locos pro Juana was one of her favorites because we wouldn't stop ranting and raving about them Lol. However when she played them on her iPhone, we all knew why! They are a group from Columbia that play reggae en español-meets region. Think of them as expresso for your ears. They will get you up on your feet and moving. Check out this video of them:
