From Hollywood ...with Love.

 

 

 

 

Hollywood and its academy of  arts are in fashion. We are about to know about the winners and looser (why can't we mention it). Next March 7th L.A. will be on the hot spot. And it is because we are having the ceremony of the  82nd emission of the Oscars Awards. As the tradition marks, the venue will be the Kodak teather and broadcasted in real time to more than 200 hundred countries around the globe.

One of the categories that catch my attention is that of best original song.This year, the academy decided to recognize the following songs:

 

• The Princess and the Frog

"Almost There"

Music and Lyric by Randy Newman

Musica para los Dioses

Surfing the net I found out a new interesting Musical festival in Mexico. It is called Musica para los dioses and this name is a tribute to the place it is performed. This festival takes place in the Teotihuacan ruins that are located near to Mexico city. This year is the 4th year of the festival and the line up of bands is plagued of great bands, for instance you will listen to Autenticos decadentes, Maldita Vecindad, and  an argentinian band which is a surprise. The festival allows listeners to rent an space for camping and promises to be one of the best festivals of the year.So be prepared for the next March 27 & 28 to rock right beside with the gods!!!!
