Angela was born in Dumas, Texas in February of 1983. Her first musical notes were to the tune of “I Want To Know What Love Is”, by Foreigner, at the age of two. Mariah Carey inspired her to want to become a singer at a very young age when Angela froze in front of the television to watch her video “Someday”. Selena’s song “La Carcacha” was her very first Tejano inspiration and Selena would become a strong inspiration t! o her desire to become a singer.

Angela took to the stage in her middle school’s rendition of the Broadway musical, “Grease”, as one of the Pink Ladies and later that year performed, “La Noche Se Mueve”, by Fey, which mesmorized her audience in a talent review. In 8th grade she won a first place in UIL competitions with, “I Don’t Wish To Marry”. In High School she sang in the Tascosa Rebel choir which won 3 first place, first division medals in the 4 years she was a member. She played clarinet and percussion in band and spent her last 2 years of band in the flag corps which won first place region honors. Sh! e won “Best Performer” as a Junior on the Rebel Dance Team.

At age 16 Angela performed at a Tejano FM birthday bash in Amarillo alongside Delia Y Culturas and Patsy Torres. She has sang at Quinceneras, weddings, anniversaries, karaoke clubs and any other place she could get a microphone in her hand. In April 2003 she performed at the Tejano Music Awards Fan Fair in San Antonio. In May 2003 she opened for Jonny Martinez at “Tejano Rose” in Amarillo.

Angela is a 2001 graduate of Tascosa High School, Amarillo, Texas and a 2002 graduate of Amarillo College where she earned a dental assisting certification. She is a student of vocal coach Antonio Arrizola of Amarillo, retired Mexico City University professor. She is managed by Bil Howard of Plainview, Texas.

• LA ONDA

La Onda

estrena "Mi Cucu"

De su Nuevo Album Otra Onda

Con su dosis de vitalidad, sensualidad y energía, LA ONDA presenta "MI CUCU", contando con la participación del grupo CONTROL. Este es su nuevo corte promocional de "OTRA ONDA", su reciente producción con EMI LATIN.

Tanto rítmica como divertida, "MI CUCU" tiene los ingredientes perfectos para llenar de alegría los corazones del radioescucha, cumpliendo su guapachosa misión de irradiar entusiasmo y sana picardía en sus temas.

"MI CUCU", es una divertida versión de la popular cumbia colombiana, ejecutada con el estilo que refleja el impactante potencial de LA ONDA, pero además, con la participación de CONTROL, se logra una química musical muy pocas veces vistas, que seguramente será disfrutada por los miles de admiradores de ambos grupos.

"MI CUCU", sigue los pasos de "ASI, ASI", tema que estrenó "OTRA ONDA", el pasado abril.

Ganadores del Premio Billboard de la Música Latina 2003 por su primer álbum "A Toda Onda", BELEN, YESSICA, PACO, RUDY, PEPE y SERGIO, integrantes de LA ONDA, reafirman con "MI CUCU" su paso firme en la escena artística, -no en vano "Aserejé" (versión norteña), los dio a conocer como el GRUPO SENSACION DE LA NUEVA CUMBIA NORTEÑA.

• ALICIA VILLARREAL

Alicia Villarreal reanuda este fin de semana sus actividades artísticas, luego de permanecer por espacio de 15 días en recuperación tras el accidente que sufrió el pasado 30 de junio en su casa en la ciudad de Monterrey, N.L.

La artista regiomontana empezará a trabajar el 18 y 19 de julio en Rosarito, Baja California y Tepic, Nayarit acompañada de su Mariachi Rebelde y el grupo que la acompaña

Dichas presentaciones se realizarán en el Palenque dentro de las instalaciones de la feria de ambas ciudades que a estas fechas celebran sus fiestas patronales.

Los últimos conciertos que la intérprete de "Te quedó grande la yegua" ofreció antes de su accidente se llevaron a cabo los últimos días junio en ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua y Matamoros, Tamaulipas, luego de cancelar su participación en un evento masivo en la Sultana del Norte por motivos del todo conocidos.

Ahora la guerita consentida se prepara para regresar a los escenarios con nuevos bríos y muchas ganas de complacer a todos sus seguidores con sus múltiples éxitos.

De igual manera empezará con todos los preparativos para la selección de temas que vendrán incluidos en su nuevo material discográfico para poco después ingresar al estudio de grabación.

Al Chavarria y Grupo Mayo was one of the first Tejano bands to incorporate single note keyboard leads into their music, a style that has since been copied by many.

In addition, Johnny Canales presented Al with the “Song Of The Year” award.

Grupo Mayo has over 25 albums to their credit, and their romantic smooth style has sustained them to present day. Still enormously popular, the group plays regularly throughout Texas and surrounding states. Al Chavarria Y Grupo Mayo has recorded for such labels as RCA International, Freddie, Joey and Hacienda.

Al Chavarria y Grupo Mayo have maintained a strong staying power and their music enjoys a new resurgence as a result of the growing popularity of Tejano Music. This new CD “El Manicero” marks the first new release for this group in several years. They just keep getting better!!

• BIG CIRCO

Presenta el Acto Fuerte de su

"SEGUNDA FUNCION"

con "LA ENDIABLADA"

Es imposible resistirse a la influencia de "LA ENDIABLADA". Con sus encantos y su energía, es inútil tratar de escapar a sus poderes rítmicos, y, sino, basta ver el alboroto musical que logró entre los siete integrantes de BIG CIRCO, quienes ni ellos pudieron evitar que "LA ENDIABLADA", sea el primer corte promocional de su "SEGUNDA FUNCION", el nuevo álbum que EMI LATIN pone en el mercado a partir del 22 de julio.

Mientras tanto, podremos disfrutar de "LA ENDIABLADA" de BIG CIRCO en la radio de los Estados Unidos, como el nuevo éxito de la autoría de BIG BOY, cantante y acordeonista del grupo. "LA ENDIABLADA" nos describe a una mujer que pone en apuros a su pareja por su incontrolable naturaleza inquieta y traviesa, que no para de hablar y molestar, pero aún cuando "ya los cuernos se le están notando", le pone un sabor divertido a la vida; como ejemplo tenemos esta melodía rica en todos los sentidos.

Precursores del llamado "norteño alternativo", BIG CIRCO ofrece con "LA ENDIABLADA", una divertida palabrería enmarcada en un estilo musical irresistible. BIG CIRCO surgió en Brownsville, Texas, en el 2001, integrado por Fantasma, en el bajo sexto; Shades (Gafas), en la batería; Mister Blue, en el bajo; Diablito, en las percusiones y congas; Big Boy en el acordeón y en la primera voz; y dos personajes muy inquietos en la animación: Joker y Minimosca.

• Tina y Los Gallitos

"The Youngest Conjunto in America"

By listening to their music, a music fan could not determine the age or the years together as a group. However, Tina y Los Gallitos is not your everyday musical group. Their age, talent and musical chemistry together make them a musical prodigy. The core of the Conjunto is the three family members. Robert, Tina, and John Vega are the foundation of Tina y Los Gallitos.

Robert Vega is 17 years of age and plays accordion and sings lead vocals. Tina Vega is 16 years of age and plays bajo sexto and sings back up vocals. She is one of the few female bajo players in the industry. The youngest member of the band is John, who is presently 12 years of age. John Vega plays bass and sings second voice on most songs. Robert and Tina began learning to play their respective instruments at the age of nine. John started learning to play at the early age of six years. It was his sister Tina that taught him to play bass.

All the children of the Familia Vega were born in the greater Houston area. Their parents made the decision to home school their children in order that they could pursue a musical career as a group. This advantage allows the family more time to practice together and to go on the road when necessary.

Their musical influences are Tony Dela Rosa, Ramon Ayala, Flaco Jimenez, Los Tigres Del Norte and Jaime y Los Chamacos. Tina y Los Gallitos began playing professionally in the fall of 1999. They have performed at many private family functions, Mexican rodeos and public dances. San Antonio, Wharton, Beasley and Austin are some of the cities that the group has traveled to perform. The talented young conjunto has been privileged to open up for Conjunto Oro, Los Dos Gilbertos, and Jennifer Pena. This past November the group was invited to perform at the 2002 Fiesta Houston Concert opening for Ramon Ayala, Fito Olivares and David Lee Garza y Los Musicales.

Their goals are to sign with a record label and get an album out to the market. Tina y Los Gallitos also plan to finish their home schooling, become full time musicians and tour the USA and Mexico. The musical prodigies have just signed a management and booking agreement with TJS Productions of Houston in hopes to expand their future in this industry.

•La Onda Wins the Billboard Latin Award for

Best Album of the Year/New Artist

La Onda was recently awarded with the Premio Billboard (Billboard

Award)in a public ceremony held in Miami, Florida. The talents of the

two leading and founding members of the band, the SESAC Latina

affiliated composers Rodolfo "Rudy" Gonzalez and Jose "Pepe" Torres,

whose alternative "nortena" cumbia have energized the entire continent,

is also being recognized.

The Onda, has won said award in the category of Album of the Year/New

Artist, in the category of Regional Mexican Music, for the recording

that marked their successful recording debut. Released by EMI Latin in

October 2002, the album is titled "A Toda Onda" (At Full Wave).

With this album, the group received national recognition in the most

important television programs in the United States and at events that

took place in different countries, including Chile, where they performed

at the closing of the highly attended Telethon in the Estadio Nacional

de Santiago in front of more than 70 thousand spectators.

The young composers Rodolfo "Rudy" Gonzalez and Jose "Pepe" Torres write

together and separately.

"Rudy" is a composer and arranger; and as a musician he plays the

accordion, the drums, the guitar and piano. "Pepe" plays base.

Often during long trips as band members they get their joint inspiration

anywhere and collaborate especially during bohemian evenings.

The second album by La Onda, titled "Otra Onda" (Another Wave) includes

three songs written by both: the cumbias "Yo No Se" (I Don't Know) and

" Baby", and the ballad "Poco A Poco" (Little by Little).

Rodolfo "Rudy" Gonzalez was the sole composer of the song titled

" Cultiviri" and Pepe, was the sole composer for "Esta Bueno."

Professionals in every sense of the word, both composers have known each

other for many years. They had a group that performed in local events

before La Onda was formed. Both were born in Tamaulipas, Mexico.

The other members of La Onda are Sergio Ramirez, drums; Paco Miranda,

base; and Yessica Ruiz and Belen Gutierrez, vocalists.

Sergio and Lupe Degollado, the leads of the group Control, came up with

the concept and format for this mixed group. They've directed their

record productions and are the owners of Degollado Publishing, whose

publishing company is also affiliated with SESAC Latina.
