Hispanic Wedding Traditions Explained
c weddings bring together the dignity of Catholic mass with Latin traditions of music and celebration.

Summer Schooling in Mexico - An Enriching...
Exploring other cultures is one of the best ways to spend your summer vacation. There are a number of International Universities that offer summer programs.

A few days ago I had one of those "random" conversations that sets the brain blazing down a hundred different paths almost immediately. The topic was DDT, and how that chemical was bought and sold with impunity in Latin America years after it had been banned in the United States for causing serious health and environmental problems. In the beginning it was the wonder chemical of yore. From getting rid of vermin, to use as an agricultural pesticide, to eliminating malaria, the new potion apparently knew no bounds. Soon however, nasty little pieces of evidence - cancer, birth defects, and environmental hazards - started to spring up against the wonder chemical. Consequently, during the 1970s and 1980s...
How to Get Into Graduate School - Study,...
As unemployment rates are still extremely high hovering close to 10%, many young Americans are thinking about graduate school as a way to boost their resume and prolong entry into the work force. However, competition is also at an all time high while graduate programs also have less funding to take in as many students. The chair of my department told me that this year's incoming class was the most qualified she had ever seen. So, it's more important than ever to make sure you do all the steps for graduate entry. First, it's important to decide whether you truly need or want to go to graduate school. Especially, if you're applying for programs in the humanities such as Philosophy or English where...
The Miraculous Economic Transformation of Brazil
Brazilians always spoke fondly of their country as the Land of the Future. They felt God endowed them with endless resources that one day would make them a prosperous and powerful nation. Brazil is a giant of South America. Its population of 190 million people is the fifth largest in the world. In area, Brazil is also the fifth largest in world. So, for decades, God’s endowed country of the future never materialized. During the 80’s and 90’s, Brazil had earning the dismal distinction of being the Third World's largest debtor nation. The country was unable to generate enough funds just to pay the interest charges on its debt load, and was borrowing heavily just to stay afloat. In 2002, amid a...
Acorn's Voter Fraud?
The right wing spin is that the organization called ACORN has registered many thousands of fake people who supposedly will somehow make real votes for Obama/Biden this fall. They are telling this lie in hopes of changing the subject from the economy and in hopes of continuing their ridiculous low road "guilt by association" slime ball attacks on Barack Obama. The truth is that ACORN is a group which tries to register real people (poor people) to vote. And the truth is this what the Republicans do not like. They know a majority of the over one million people that ACORN has registered to vote this year will be voting for Democrats. They know that a few fake registrations (which do ACORN absolutely no...

What would music be without drums? Drums are responsible for providing the backbone of the song. The drummer holds the rest of the song together by providing the other musicians with a beat to follow. Even if a song doesn't specifically include drums, more than likely they do include other percussion instruments. History of Drums Percussion instruments have been used since ancient times. Drums especially were popular because they could be made using easily obtainable materials. Generally speaking, drums include a hollowed out body which could be made of wood, clay, gourds, and other materials with some kind of animal skin or membrane stretched over the top. Ancient drums have been found in...

Valentin Gerlier from Brussels was next up and proceedings took an intriguing and wholly pleasant turn. Valentin's music is reminiscent of Getz/Gilberto collaborations and gives rise to the sensation of cruising around the Amalfi coast in an open top Alfa Romeo. Complete with two female backing singers in tow the repertoire was akin distinctly to Tom Jones circa 1978. Valentin won the crowd over with a feel good...

Conga drums are an integral part of most Latin American music. In North America, everyone has heard of a conga line and unfortunately, most of us have been forced to join one at one point or another, often during a wedding reception. But the music of the conga is far too diverse to be pigeonholed as wedding reception music. These instruments are used not only in genres like salsa and rumba, but in Afro-Caribbean religious music as well. Conga drums are a very important facet of life in South America. The bodies of conga drums are "staved," or made of multiple strips of wood or fiberglass, similar to the construction of a barrel. Chances are that the ancestors of modern congas were, in fact, made...

The popularity of Spanish Christian music is presently on the rise, and is attributed to the growth in Christian music worldwide. Historically, Gospel music, in whatever language, was distributed for sale on a regional basis only. Nowadays, there is a clamor for the availability of Christian music translated into Spanish...
~Continued from Part 1~ As Selena's popularity grew placing additional demands on the band (e.g. travel), Abraham removed Selena from the 8th grade, drawing immediate unwarranted criticism. Some accused him of violating Child Labor laws while others warned that he was ruining his kids. "They'll be surrounded by drinking and drugs" and "it's going to have an effect on them," the critics incorrectly predicted.[1] Despite the skeptics, Selena remained unaffected. She continued to have fun and enjoy singing. She kept her down-to-earth personality and refused to snub anyone, believing that "if you treat people good, it [will] come back" in the end.[2] Accordingly, Selena always maintained a great...
Enrique Iglesias, Latin Superstar and Maltese...
When you think of successful Latin music stars, one name instantly comes to mind: Enrique Iglesias. The son of a successful musician, Iglesias has rocked the English-speaking music industry in more ways than one. Born in Madrid in 1975, Enrique's early life was spent in Spain. He and his brother were sent to live with their father, singer Julio Iglesias, in Miami in 1983. That may have been when his passion for music blossomed and grew.
