You know you’ve officially crossed over when you’re in the Sunday New York Times. Ladies and gentlemen, reggaetón has crossed over. This past Sunday the New York Times dedicated an article to the reggaetón production team Luny Tunes and their success. And just in case anyone is really concerned about the integrity of the genre that brought us Gasolina, The Times quotes Luny Tunes as saying:
“Jessica Simpson’s father wants to work with us, too”…and that they are negotiating with Ms. [Jennifer] Lopez’s film company to produce the soundtrack for a film he says is “a sort of reggaetón 8 Mile.”

Cuba is paradise on Earth, says paper

To preface this post, I am not commenting either way on the rightness or wrongness of Castro’s Cuba. I have very mixed feelings about the topic that have nothing to do with the fact that I just find Prensa Latina, a publication in English which is very obviously propaganda Castrista, amusing at times. It’s so blatant it reminds me of Fox News. The headline today was: “Cubans Have Potential to Live to 120″ (which I don’t doubt, really) and following are some “interesting” excerpts:
Selman considers that it is important to be motivated, healthy, physically active, and culturally and environmentally educated to achieve that goal.
In this respect, he highlighted the possibilities Cuba offers to reach that objective, because it counts on a just social system, essentially humane and supportive.

Newspapers are less popular than ever. Some point to the rise of internet media as the cause. Some say the recent scandals of invented sources and outright lying have damaged the credibility of the daily print media. And yet as “minority” populations grow, especially Latino populations, many big city newspapers have launched papers aimed at this audience both in English and in other Languages. Just looking at New York City, the New York Daily News has two separate weeklies, one in English and one in Spanish aimed at the Big Apple’s Latinos.
And just as quickly as Spanish language papers are born, they are being killed. Insiders will cite low advertising rates and a lack of real commitment to people of color communities. A recent East Bay Express article points the finger south of the U.S. border, at outsourcing.
