I've put together a list of some great Christmas gifts for you to give to those you love. Let's start with some new music !
Ricky Martin is dropping a "Greatest Hits" CD called "17". 17 represents the number of songs and videos that recap Ricky Martin's Spanish-language hits from 1991-2007 - which also represents 17 years of hit-making. There appear to be 3 ways you can get 17: a single audio CD, a single video DVD or a 2-disc CD/DVD digipak. The DVD includes 17 hit song videos, a short film about Martin's Life, photo gallery and more.
Elvis Crespo - 'Live From Las Vegas' (DVD)
For all you Salsa/Merengue Lovers, if you've ever seen Elvis Crespo perform, you'll know why watching the manic Puerto Rican merengue star is the only way to go. There's no doubt this live performance in Las Vegas is over the top but that's the way Crespo and fans like it.
Also for your Salsa lovers is Tito Nieves - 'Dos Canciones Clasicos de Marco Antonio Solis'. As great a composer as Mexico's Marco Antonio Solis is, he doesn't write salsa which is the genre that Nieves has celebrated during his long career. This new CD contains 10 hits by the prolific composer done in salsa style and selected expressively for the album by Solis.
Laura Pausini - 'Primavera Anticipada'
Italy's pop diva Laura Pausini sings in a lot of languages but her Spanish-language albums may be more popular than the ones she performs in Italian. In fact, Primavera Anticipada, with its 14 new tracks, is being released in Spanish before the Italian version.
One of the HOTTEST Reggaeton Group, Wisin Y Yandel, have dropped another CD,'Wisin y Yandel Present La Mente Maestra'. 'La Mente Maestra' is DJ Nesty, who produced most of the songs on this album. The third compilation album by reggaeton /hip hop artists Wisin y Yandel, they're joined on the album by other artists including Gadiel, Nesty and Victor & Marioso.
Now lets talk about some other presents!
Hecho Latino is a new company based here in Dallas and they have some of the hottest shirts on the streets featuring Latino DICHOS. DICHOS are Spanish sayings that have been passed down from generation to generation. Such as "Show me who you hang around with and I'll tell you who you are!", which in spanish is -"Dime Con Quien Andas, y Te Dire Quien Eres". You can check out the shirts and order the shirts from HechoLatino.com
Another stocking stuffer for you can be found at TEXMEXTEES.com, which is based in San Antonio and offers some Tejano orientated shirts, so if you have some TEJANO fans in your family they should really like a shirt that represents TEJANOS and CHICANOS.
Now if your looking for a movie you and your family can go to then check out "Nothing Like the Holidays", which opens in December.
