The music industry is mourning the loss of one of its salsa music classic artists, Julio Cesar Rojas Lopez, who is known in the entertainment world as el gallo salsero Tito Rojas. No, he doesn't sing like a gallo (rooster) but it's more so due to his imitation of a rooster during his performances. The Puerto Rican artist died at the age of 65 at a family residence in Humacao, Puerto Rico due to health complications.
Tito Rojas' passing was confirmed by the director of Criminal Investigations of Humacao, Teddy Morales in indicating that the call to the police was registered at around 12:30 a.m. on Saturday, December 26, 2020. The cause of the artist death was due to health complications - a heart attack.
A police officer indicated Tito Rojas had just left from a family gathering at the Tejas neighborhood in Humacao.
“When the activity ended, he left for his residency, but a little while after leaving, he stopped at one of his cousin's house at the Mariana neighborhood and tells him he doesn't feel well,” Morales said. “He asks him to take him to the hospital. When they are about to get in the family member's vehicle, he collapsed,” he added. “A little while after the paramedics arrive and certify he died. There were no signs of violence, but everything seemed to be due to a health situation.”
Tito Rojas' followers were able to enjoy his last presentation on Christmas Eve, a virtual Christmas special titled “Canta Gallo canta” (sing rooster sing) that was transmitted on YouTube. “I want you to enjoy to the max this Christmas special that I prepared for all of you. Dale pa’ bajo,” he wrote. Dale pa’ bajo was a common phrase Tito used in his performances as well in which I'd translate as hit it downward.
Among all his recordings in his four decades as an artist - albums, singles..., Tito recorded his last album in 2019, Un gallo para la historia, that includes “Vivo feliz,” “Los años no pasan en vano” and “Maldito amor bendito amor,” among others.
After knowing of Tito Rojas death, the Mayor of Humacao, Luis Raul Sanchez Hernandez, declared five days of mourning and made available the Marcel Trujillo Coliseum to the family for the wake. “If something distinguished Tito Rojas in addition to his voice, it was his humility and commitment to the Humacaeña community,” said the municipal executive.

El guapísimo, carismático y talentísimo Chayanne extendió su gira Desde El Alma hasta 2019. En esta segunda parte, incluyó nuevos locales para llevar su espectacular concierto.
No se permite copiar y o usar fotos y vídeos sin permiso
El puertorriqueño se presentó por primera vez en el renombrado Hertz Arena (Germain Arena) que queda entre Fort Myers y Estero, Florida. "He perdido mi 'virginidad aquí en Fort Myers." Chayanne explicó por ser la primera vez que canta en el local. Y por ser su primera vez fue casi un lleno total. A pesar que el clima cambio de un momento a otro con tormentas de lluvia. Pero esas tormentas no detuvieron a sus fans ni a nosotras que viajábamos desde Tampa.
El concierto de casi dos horas incluyó los éxitos de ayer y de hoy, baladas y canciones pop, del boricua codiciado de la isla del encanto. Los presente cantaron junto a Chayanne desde el primer tema hasta el ultimo - "Torero," "Atado a tu Amor," "Dejaría Todo," "Salomé," "Un Siglo Sin Ti," "Fiesta en América," "Tu Pirata Soy Yo," "Tiempo de Vals," "Completamente Enamorados," "Provócame," "Humanos a Marte," "Di Qué Sientes Tú," entre otros.
No hay duda, Chayanne todavía se mantiene un galán sexy. Luciendo muy bien en sus camisas y pantalones apretados. Hasta causó una furia cuando se desabotonó su camisa. Desde el comienzo hasta el fin de su concierto para la historia en Fort Myers, no solo Chayanne pero toda su banda, bailarines y coristas transmitieron tanta energía única, tanto positivismo y alegría. ¿Y que me dicen de sus movimientos?
"Me tienen nervioso," admitió dándole las gracias a todos presente. Hasta nos dijo, "Ustedes pueden hacer con nosotros lo que quieran."
Ese viaje largo bajo la tormenta de agua valió la pena para compartir un buen rato con Chayanne y con sus fans de diversas nacionalidades que lo adoran tanto. Y lo más lindo, se despidió diciendo, "Si me necesitan me llaman que yo regreso." ¡Por supuesto Chayanne tienes que regresar!
Nothing stops salseros and less Marc Anthony fans from partying. On a rainy and cold day in which Floridians are not accustomed to the latter, fans managed to fill up Amway Center in Orlando for another unforgettable evening with the one and only Marc Anthony, his amazing band and the hilarious comedian Joey Vega.
The renowned salsero kicked off his Legacy tour in 2018 but Central Florida wasn’t included which left many fans questioning as to why. But it would be impossible for Marc not to perform in Orlando where he's had consistent sold out concerts, a huge fan base especially Puerto Ricans and after his historical and emotional 2017 tribute to Puerto Rico singing “Preciosa” for the first time ever at Amway Center. Of course, he’d return to Orlando for the second leg of his Legacy Tour. It was a great way to start off 2019 with Marc Anthony.

The stage setting was different. A stage curtain was in place displaying the artist and his tour name. Comedian Joey Vega stepped out to bring laughter and flashbacks of being a Latino for about an hour. And just before 10 p.m. the music started playing Marc Anthony song clips that also included his collaborations just before the stage curtain was raised for the band and Marc Anthony to be exposed. Thankfully he put to rest his jeans. He looked classier, sharper and handsome performing in a suit tailored by Sew On Set Tailor.
Close to two hours of singing and dancing with the top salsa artist there has been for years. This time “Aguanile” wasn’t the opening number, instead it was “Valio La Pena.” Inclusive “Flor Pálida,” “Vivir Lo Nuestro” “Hasta Que Te Conocí,” a medley of classics, among other hits from the beginning of Marc’s Spanish crossover to present. But Marc Anthony regular concert attendees know his concert isn’t over until he sings “Vivir Mi Vida.”
A flirty and witty Marc Anthony that made sure everyone saw him by covering every angle of the stage, showing his gratitude of his fan’s unconditional support and not to mention his pride of being Puerto Rican. “Bendición papi,” he said to his dad that was in the audience as he sang “Hasta Que Te Conocí.” He even accepted a few drinks from fans. Oh, and Marc will definitely call you out because he wants you to dance. What is a Marc Anthony concert if you don't sing and dance?
From the band to the backup singers, they were all on point adding to another phenomenal Marc Anthony concert for the books. Once again Marc Anthony depicts exactly his tour title - LEGACY!
Marc Anthony’s Legacy Tour continues until February 23. For tour information click here.
Although his specialization is ballads, Chayanne sure can mesmerize you with his voice and his moves. The balladeer and pop artist had a date with his Central Florida fans for an unforgettable evening this past Thursday at Amway Center in Orlando, Florida.

It was the second to last concert of the Puerto Rican's Desde El Alma tour in the U.S. The close to two hour concert included Chayanne's all time favorite Latin ballads and pop hit songs. Opening with "Torero," and continuing on with classics to his most recent recordings - "Atado a tu Amor," "Dejaría Todo," "Salomé," "Un Siglo Sin Ti," "Fiesta en América," "Tu Pirata Soy Yo," "Tiempo de Vals," "Completamente Enamorados," "Provócame," "Humanos a Marte," his recent promotional single "Di Qué Sientes Tú," among many others.
There is no doubt at his prime 50 years, Chayanne is still a handsome and sexy Latin heartthrob. Yes, still looking mighty sharp in his muscle shirts and tight pants. How about when he teases his fans by unbuttoning his shirt. From start to finish, not only does Chayanne transmit so much energy, but also his band, dancers and back up singers. All their dance moves are sharp.
"Me tienen nervioso" (you all have me nervous), admitted Chayanne in Spanish halfway through his concert as he thanked everyone in attendance. And when he stated, "Ustedes pueden hacer con nosotros lo que quieren" (you all can do whatever you want with us), the screams got louder.

What a showman to party and sing along with, making you set aside your differences and forget about everything you have on your mind for almost two hours. You leave with so much energy and positivism. "Si me necesitan me llaman que yo regreso" (if you need me, call me, I will return), the Puerto Rican astro concluded.
Chayanne continues his Desde El Alma tour starting October 17 in Mexico, Chile, and closes out the year in Costa Rica.
Enjoy a few clips and photos for now. In addition, follow Chayanne on his official page Chayanne, Twitter as @ChayanneMusic, YouTube Chayanne, and on Instagram and Facebook as @Chayanne.
For the past few years, the top Latin salsa artist never ceases to
amaze, and this year was no different. The renowned Marc Anthony has performed in Central Florida’s top venue a
total of 13 times – six at former Amway Arena and seven at the present Amway
Center. Most fans that have attended his concerts numerous times know his
repertoire doesn’t change much but they don’t mind as year after year he
successfully fills up the venue.
But this year it was a little different. Anthony had just
performed two concerts in Miami as part of his present Full Circle tour
presented by CMN Events. Just before his phenomenal band took their places on
the square stage set up (change from an end stage), comedian Joey Vega and radio
personality/DJ each entertained for about 30 minutes or so.
Escorted out by security and his daughter Arianna, a
few fans managed to get a closer look at Marc Anthony as he walked past them to
get to the stage. A hug and kiss from his daughter and it was show time. The
hysteria was incredible from the first to last glimpse of the salsa sensation.
This time he was even more interactive with his fans - giving autographs,
kisses - dancing and covering every angle of the square stage as he belted out
his favorite top hits from his close to 30 something career. Of course, he was
witty as well. About a 90 minute concert that left fans wanting more of Marc Anthony and his stupendous band.
“Flor Pálida”, “Vivir lo Nuestro”, “Contra la Corriente”,
“Te Amare”, “Mi Gente”, was just a handful of songs among others that Anthony sang.
After performing “Tu Amor me Hace Bien”, Anthony was escorted off the stage.
Some started to leave, others stayed roaring for the man of the moment to
continue singing as they know Marc Anthony´s concert isn´t over until he sings
his present finale song “Vivir mi Vida”, but it wasn’t his next song just yet.
As soon as the Puerto Rican flag was displayed on the
venue’s four-sided marquee, the roaring incremented and Anthony was escorted
back to the stage once again. He slowly stepped up to his microphone, the
musicians started playing the first tunes to the popular and meaningful Puerto
Rican patriotic song “Preciosa”. He took a deep breath just before he belted
out the first lyrics. It came as an amazing and unexpected surprise for all
present as Anthony is known to have only sung “Preciosa” at Madison Square
Garden in New York and at his beloved island Puerto Rico during his tours. It
has been long overdue as there is a large population of Puerto Ricans in
Central Florida as well. What an emotional performance for Marc Anthony and I’m
sure for many that were there as well.
"Preciosa" has become so much more powerful and
meaningful after the devastation of Hurricane Maria this year in Puerto Rico.
Marc Anthony poured his heart and soul into his interpretation as he normally does but this was beyond it. The out-pour of
love for his superb performance made him totally emotional to the point he
cried and it took him a few minutes to gain his composure to close out his Full
Circle concert in Orlando, Florida with “Vivir Mi Vida”. His band and fans didn’t
hesitate in starting the song for him until he was able to join them in singing.
What a surreal, unbelievable, and emotional Marc Anthony
concert. Can’t wait for his next concert and hope he’ll continue to sing in
Central Florida “Preciosa.” Marc Anthony has two more concerts scheduled for this year. Check them out here. To make donations to Marc Anthony's Puerto Rico disaster relief fund, Somos Una Voz / We Are One Voice, click here.

Son tantas las emociones que han corrido dentro de nosotros desde la devastación del Huracán María que quería acabar con Puerto Rico. Todos y digo todos incluyendo los que no son puertorriqueños han sentido el dolor de nuestros hermanos de la Isla del Encanto.

El jueves 19 de octubre fui testigo de un magno evento – Yandel & Friends, Puerto Rico: Somos Uno – que unió a fans que viajaron de cerca y de lejos a Orlando, Florida para presenciar el esfuerzo del cantante urbano puertorriqueño Yandel en unir amigos que incluyeron artistas, personalidades de las redes sociales, y DJs en tan corto tiempo. Entre ellos estaban Christian Daniel, Alexis & Fido, Farruko, Wisin, Zion & Lennox, Chyno Miranda, GadieL, Jencarlos Canela, Jerry Rivera, Jory Boy, Jowell & Randy, LeJuan James, Molusco, Noriel, Pedro Capo, Spiff Tv, DJ Candy Boy, DJ Chino, DJ Nelson & Alberto Stylee quienes compartieron su música, mensajes alentadores, y apoyo incondicional.

El concierto benéfico duro casi cuatro horas, imagínense yo no soy muy fan a la música urbana pero me entregue a absórbala y gozarla todo entre uno que otras de lágrimas que se me escaparon. Algunos cantaron de una a tres canciones o un popurrí de sus canciones tal como lo hizo el único salsero de la noche Jerry Rivera. Pero fue Yandel, quien obvio, se robó el espectáculo cantando la mayoría de las canciones a solo y a dúo ya que ha grabado un sinfín de canciones con otros artistas.
El momento más emocionante fue el video que presentaron antes de Yandel subir a la tarima. El video con imágenes de Puerto Rico antes y después del paso del Huracán María con unas palabras que llegaron directo al corazón.
“Crecer en Puerto Rico fue un regalo, lo siento así, como un privilegio, como una bendición que Dios me concedió. Estar lejos de ti duele, como puertorriqueño a veces la impotencia me abraza. Son tantas las noticias, son tantas las llamadas que he recibido acerca de los daños, del sufrimiento de mi gente. Parece que estamos caídos. Pero no es así. Somos fuertes. Todo esto no fue ni será suficiente para destruirnos. No me cabe duda de que nos levantaremos más fuertes que nunca”.
Me dio tanto sentimiento que no pude contener el llanto a ver las imágenes y en oír las palabras de Yandel. Pensé en mis seres queridos que están aún en Puerto Rico especialmente en Liz Roberts y sus hijas quienes viven en Salinas y también son fans de Yandel.
Y como no cerrar con broche de oro al Yandel reunirse con su compatriota Wisin, quien durante muchos años compartieron escenarios, para un hermoso cierre a Puerto Rico: Somos Uno. Culminaron su presentación con la bandera puertorriqueña en mana mientras correaban “Yo soy Boricua pa´ que tú lo sepas”.
El orgullo por Puerto Rico y de sus ciudadanos puertorriqueños americanos es inevitable. ¡No estamos divididos, estamos unidos, Puerto Rico por seguro está de pie!
Todo recaudado de Puerto Rico: Somos Uno será donado a Somos Una Voz que ya está colaborando con varias organizaciones que están brindando ayuda a las áreas afectadas. Para aportar a esta noble causa, vayan a Somos Una Voz aquí.
