I know who, my grandma Jennie for sure. I often tell stories and joke about my childhood living with my grandma Jennie, how hard it was, and how she would wake us up at crazy times in the morning to finish our chores before leaving for school. But, what I’ve failed to share about her was how much she believed in me. Whenever she had a chance to put my siblings and I into an after school program, church play, or community event - she did. When we were bored, she made us pick up a book. Even though I stared at half of those books, the other half I actually read because she had a special interest in my success and literally forced me to read. Or, it was a shoe or telephone flying at my head for not listening.

  • CARTEL INTERNACIONAL Jamiroquai (Funk, Acid Jazz
    CARTEL INTERNACIONAL Jamiroquai (Funk, Acid Jazz, Electronic, Dance, Pop) Jamiroquai es una banda británica liderada por su vocalista Jay Kay, máxima exponente del funk y acid jazz creada en 1992. Sus discos posteriores han ido explorando ritmos un tanto más electrónicos, dance y pop. Hasta el momento la banda ha logrado vender más de 35 millones de álbumes en todo el mundo. Más de Jamiroquai El nombre 'Jamiroquai' surge de la unión del nombre de la tribu indígena norteamericana de los iroqueses, con la cual Kay dice identificarse, y el término Jam, proveniente de la palabra 'jamming' que es una sesión de improvisación musical. Todo comenzó cuando Jay Kay se presentó a una audición para cantante de la banda Brand New Heavies, sin ningún éxito. Tiempo más tarde decidió formar su propia banda y llamarla Jamiroquai con la cual grabó su primer sencillo, llamado '¿When You Gonna Learn?' que salió al mercado en 1992 con el sello Acid jazz, propiedad de Eddie Piller. En 1993 lanzan su primer disco, el cual llamaron Emergency on Planet Earth, en el cual las letras de conciencia social combinadas con los ritmos Jazz, Funk, Samba y Acid jazz le generaron un éxito inmediato, llegando así al primer lugar de las listas de ventas en el Reino Unido por 3 semanas seguidas, incluía canciones como la antes mencionada '¿When You Gonna Learn?', 'Emergency on Planet Earth', y 'Too Young To Die', este último fue el primer sencillo en llegar al top 10 de los singles más vendidos en Uk. www.jamiroquai.com Green Day (Punk Rock, Rock, Alternative, Pop) Green Day es una banda estadounidense de punk rock, originaria de Berkeley, California.
