Mexican superstars Alejandra Guzmán and Paulina Rubio kicked off their Perrísimas US Tour to a sold out crowd at Hard Rock Live Orlando last Friday, April 15.
For more than three decades both have constructed outstanding careers, garnering praise as the “Queen of Latin Rock” and the “Queen of Latin Pop,” respectively. After years of rivalry between them (both have often been pitted against each other through the years), Alejandra and Paulina performed on the same stage for the first time ever.
Covering a show from the soundboard, and not from “the pit”, is always a challenge for any concert photographer. Not only you’re several feet away from the stage, but you also have to dodge and find your way against hundreds or thousands of mobile phones. Not my favorite shooting environment, but I always welcome the challenge. 😊

I traveled from Orlando, Florida to Berlin, Germany (…) to see Jenny and the Mexicats.
Sort of. Maybe?
The complete thought is: I traveled from Orlando, Florida to Berlin, Germany to run the Berlin Marathon. Once there, I found out that one of my favorite bands was performing not too far away from where I was staying. With not much to do that night besides fighting the jet lag, it was a very easy decision to go see Jenny and the Mexicats.
So… Both statements are correct?
Jenny and the Mexicats performed in Berlin’s Franzz-Club on Thursday, September 26, as part of their current European Tour, in support of their new recording, Fiesta Ancestral.
Jenny and the Mexicats are: Jenny Ball (voice, trumpet, guitar), Pantera (guitar), Icho Van (bass), and David González Bernardos (cajón & percussion). They’re also currently touring with a supporting percussionist and guitarist.
If you’re new to their music, please check out the links below and get to know them. “Multicultural band“, although accurate, is not really the best description for their music and approach. It’s that, but much more. Flamenco meets jazz meets folk meets cumbia meets rock and… you get the idea.
Had the chance to meet Jenny and Pantera after the show and told her that I’ve traveled from Florida to see them (sort of, maybe?) because I’ve been waiting for years to see them live (true) and she explained the craziness of their current scheduling and trying to fit cities like Orlando.
Here’s hoping that the craziness can get sorted out in a near future, and I can have the chance to photograph them again, but with proper equipment, with more than just my phone. If not, I’m sure I’ll catch them again somewhere. Antartica, perhaps?

Once again Central Florida welcomed Puerto Rican singer-songwriters Tito Auger and Ricky Laureano, only this time performing together and for a special purpose.
Noche Borincana con Tito Auger y Ricky Laureano was a special event produced by Brincando El Charco, and held last Saturday, February 23, at Ellipsis Brewing in Orlando.
Revisiting their obligatory repertoire from Fiel a la Vega, with a few surprises, Auger and Laureano performed non-stop for almost two hours. Albeit in a somewhat intimate and unusual setting, their delivery is always strong and dedicated, no matter if they’re in front of thousands or just a few hundred.
Two acoustic guitars, two loud voices, a harmonica, and a few pedals were more than enough to temporarily transport the audience to a special place. A place were many have come from, sometimes carrying less luggage.
After a few mandatory encores, the night ended with a special rendition of the emblematic Verde Luz. Joined briefly by fellow Puerto Rican singer Hermes Croatto, it was the perfect sendoff for all the diaspora in attendance. For Doña Carmen, the youngest nonagenarian in the world who traveled over a hundred miles to be there. For my dad, who was not there. And for a few fleeting tearful eyes that will always be present.
All proceeds from Noche Borincana will go to the Ricky Martin Foundation and their housing reconstruction efforts in Puerto Rico.
