I've always been a big music fan and I greatly enjoy listening to new artists so that I can support new talent and share great music with all of my friends and family. Most of the time, radio and television stations only play popular music so we end up listening to the same artists and the same songs over and over. Through the years, I've had to get a little creative in order to discover new artists and I'm so glad that thought outside the box because I've heard great music this way.

My husband loves playing Latin music for our boys and showing them all of his favorite dances including Salsa, Bachata, and Merengue. I normally leave the dancing lessons to him because, while I greatly enjoy listening to music as a family, I've been cursed with two left feet. This year, we are following the Latin Billboard Awards very closely because some of our favorite artists have been nominated in a variety of categories. Latin music's hottest event will be broadcasting live from Miami on Thursday, April 25th and it promises to be a star-studded evening featuring top musical nominees and stars. My husband and I have been debating back and forth about who we think will be taking home the top honors in some of the Latin music categories. He has his favorites and, of course, I … [Read more...]
