You cannot deny the fact that, in the United States, there are some really great guys with rich experience in overt and covert special operations in Latin America, Asia, and Africa.
Levo is Latin for ‘to polish’ and ‘elevate,’ and the name is essentially connoting the fact that we are coming together as a community to mutually enhance each other’s lives.
I’m thrilled to have Corona join me on my ‘X100PRE’ Tour to give my fans a taste of Corona Estereo Beach and showcase their support of Latin music. It’s not solely about the music – it’s about the culture, creativity, and contributing to the movement that connects us all together.
As I spent tons of time with customers, not just in the United States, but in emerging markets, in Europe, in Latin America, top of mind for everybody is how do they drive growth for their business going forward.

In the United States, the government is bailing out banks, intervening in the economy, yet in Latin America, the Right continues to talk about ‘free markets.’ It’s totally outdated; they don’t have arguments; they don’t have any sense.
Slice Mango – something that, you know, is a phenomenal drink, but mango is not a flavour that is easily liked by many people in the West. People in Latin America like it. But we do a lot of Mango in India.
I have so many references in my head – flamenco, classical, Latin, too many. I come in and put it all on the table, with no prejudice, and just start working, working, working.
I’m Latin – we start young, honey!
I am astonished each time I come to the U.S. by the ignorance of a high percentage of the population, which knows almost nothing about Latin America or about the world. It’s quite blind and deaf to anything that may happen outside the frontiers of the U.S.
For 500 years, since European explorers came, Latin American countries had been separated from one another. They had very limited relations. Integration is a prerequisite for independence.
When I’m in the truck on my own I play big, open space music, such as Ry Cooder or Latin stuff.
Democratic Latin America limps sideways because it can’t run ahead. There are too many entry barriers to the poor, the innovative, and those without access to credit.
As a Latin musician, I understand that there are so many places where people don’t know who I am. My albums never came out in Australia or Japan.
I think in New York we had respect and we would pretty much fill up the places where we went, but I never got the sense that we really were Number 1 here in New York among the Latin crowds.
Any club is important. All Latin music movements are born in clubs. There is no better research than going to a club. If your music works, it will bounce up.
As a woman of colour, as a person who is a minority, I believe its important that other people know about my language and I don’t necessarily have to explain. In the same way, when I read 19th-century literature and if I have to understand a Latin phrase or a French phrase, it is incumbent upon me to learn it.
Get up early and go to the local produce markets. In Latin America and Asia, those are usually great places to find delicious food stalls serving cheap, authentic and fresh specialties.

It’s no secret that Cuba is a typical Latin American culture in that it has a fair amount of homophobia. Homosexuals have been notoriously persecuted under Fidel’s government.
I was never any good in the school theatrical productions. I always got a role like the March Hare. A Latin teacher told me I might make a good actress, and that stuck in my memory.
We are placed in the genus of Homo, which is Latin for man – Homo sapiens: supposedly wise men. I sometimes think – wonder – whether we really are wise men.
I am not afraid to play Latin roles – that was a big part of my life.
It is to TV that I owe my freedom from bondage of the Latin lover roles. Television came along and gave me parts to chew on. It gave me wings as an actor.

I grew up at this incredibly odd intersection in Los Angeles, where it felt like the black ‘hood met black elegance met white gentrification met Latin culture met wetlands.

I’m a writer. In Latin America, they say I’m a Latin-American writer because I also write in Spanish and my books are translated, but I am an American citizen and my books are published here, so I’m also an American writer.
I’ve never gone for the smooth, suave Latin or French lover. That usually makes me think they’re trying to pull one over on me.
It was an event whenever ‘CHiPs’ would come on in my house. There wasn’t a lot of Latin people being hired to star in TV shows or movies back in the day. Not only was it a fun show, there was a Latino starring in it – so we thought it was extra cool.
A lot of names in America and Europe have their roots in Latin and Greek words. A lot of them go back to archetypes and their stories.
My father was an interpreter for all the Latin American pilots at the naval base. He was very well educated. My mother was a hairdresser who sang every day.
Much like Jennifer Lopez or Ricky Martin who might have started with a hardcore Latin fan-base, I’ll always remember what my foundation was.
If everyone in your class has heroes, and they can relate to them in textbooks and literature, and then you don’t see any of your heritage there, you feel less than. And I always wanted to be able to make Latin kids like myself feel more than.
I know the only reason that I haven’t gotten many good parts is because I am Latin – and they tell it to my face a lot of times.
I took Latin and Spanish. I can speak a very small amount of Spanish, but Latin has sort of gone away! Unless I was joining the Catholic Church, there would be no need to learn Latin.
I like ‘Firework’ because it is very different from our past songs and was inspired by the Latin genre.
Through trade reforms, Latin American countries can boost their competitiveness in markets for goods and services.
With ‘Timbiriche’, I toured Brazil and a lot of Latin America.
It has always seemed to me a pity that the young people of our generation should grow up with such scant knowledge of Greek and Latin literature, its wealth and variety, its freshness and its imperishable quality.
There are so many families who do not come up in a traditional household. African Americans, Latins, and, I’m sure, whites as well, but there are a lot of men missing in African American communities and in Latin communities.
My father made me take three years of Latin in high school.
Vancouver is more laid-back, pretty much what you would expect from a West Coast city. Miami is definitely livelier – the nightlife, the people, everything. It’s basically a little slice of Latin America.

I really am happy that I met my agency and my management company, because they see me as a person and not just a Latin woman.
You should never turn your back on the market that gave you notoriety and be who you are and give you the numbers it gives you in the United States. I can’t deny that the success I’ve had in the United States or the success that ‘Pulling Strings’ was due to my work in Latin America.
I want to represent all the Latin people. I want to do this for the rest of my life.
I’m the Latin artist who has been the most successful in history at representing the Latin culture.
‘Instructions Not Included’ is proving that there is a huge Latin market that needs a special project. They love seeing their own people; they want to see themselves onscreen. In my case, I know them pretty well. I know what they laugh at. I think it’s going to open a lot of doors, this movie.
I’m a natural blonde. But when I started acting, I would go to auditions and they didn’t know where to put me because I was voluptuous and had the accent, but I had blonde hair. It was ignorance: they thought every Latin person looks like Salma Hayek.
