About Ludacris

The career of the multitalented CHRIS “LUDACRIS” BRIDGES, can best be described as remarkable. As a recording artist, he has sold more than 15 million albums domestically, placed four No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 and has charted 36 top 40 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, including five No. 1s. Thanks to the blockbuster success of such singles as “Stand Up,” “Get Back,” “Southern Hospitality,” “Number One Spot,” “Money Maker” and “My Chick Bad.” All of these records were accompanied by ingenious videos that demonstrated Bridges’ far-reaching imagination, and his willingness to stretch the boundaries of what rap videos should look and feel like.

With an unrivaled match of lyrical acumen, wit, and imagery, Bridges has solidified himself as one of music’s premier entertainers. Although he’s best known for his infectious tunes, Ludacris has shown that he’s equally adept at writing powerful songs with serious subject matter, including runaways, with the song “Runaway Love.” Bridges’ versatility and artistic complexity also enabled him to make a seamless transition to acting.

Most recently, he starred in Furious 7, the seventh installment in the global box-office hit franchise. His other feature film credits include Universal Pictures’ Fast & Furious 6; Fast Five; 2 Fast 2 Furious; Garry Marshall’s ensemble comedy New Year’s Eve; and Ivan Reitman’s romantic comedy, No Strings Attached, opposite Ashton Kutcher and Natalie Portman. His acclaimed performances in film, (Crash, Hustle & Flow), and television, (Law & Order: Special Victims Unit), have Hollywood and critics alike buzzing about his increasingly impressive screen resume. Stepping back into the studio, he is also now wowing fans with his 8th studio album, Ludaversal.

A consummate businessman, Ludacris is enjoying success outside of entertainment. His latest venture includes a highly anticipated new restaurant coming soon to the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Airport. His philanthropic efforts rival his entertainment accomplishments. He also partnered with Crash writer/director Paul Haggis and Artists for Peace and Justice to help raise more than $4 million for Haitian relief efforts. In addition to that, he has raised more than $100,000 for disaster victims through The Ludacris Foundation. Having partnered with Jane Fonda, Bill Gates, Richard Branson, and Nelson Mandela, to name a few, The Ludacris Foundation continues to inspire youth through education.

Listen To Scott Weiland And The Wildabouts BLASTER Now Previewed On Pandora

29vh_Blastercoverart_1

DIRECT LINK: http://pdora.co/19a39FM

Fresh from knock out appearances on tour, at Sundance and SXSW, Scott Weiland & The Wilabouts’ Blaster is set for release March 31. Let’ us know if you’d like a downloadable or streamable copy of the album for review.

“…a new album that is as strong and accessible as the best tracks he cut with STP and VR.” Illinois Entertainer

Scott Weiland, who Spin named “rock’s most dynamic front man,” and his band the Wildabouts recorded Blaster at Lavish studios in Burbank and at the Sandbox in Beachwood Canyon. The Daily Beast calls Blaster “a solid spin, combining garage and classic rock with some heavier riffs in a way that just plain works,” and Billboard wrote “the songs from the album Blaster are no-nonsense, straight-ahead rock tunes that owe debts to music of the 1980s and ’90s inspired by late ’60s garage rock.”

Weiland and the band wrote all 11 tracks except “20^th Century Boy,” a T-Rex classic. Rolling Stone called the first single, “Way She Moves,” a “foot-stompin’ boogie.”

“The album has its own distinctive sound,” says Weiland, “but it also can entice those Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver fans who have stuck by me. Over the years, I’ve gone back and forth between art records and being in a band. This is a hybrid. What we’ve come up with is really heavy, slinky, and sexy. There’s a lot of fuzz. The best way to describe it is ‘Furry’.” I knew I wanted to make a rock record,” proclaims Weiland. “It all just came together.”

Scott Weiland & The Wildabouts have been on a huge tour, playing major market shows, SXSW and Sundance. Scott Weiland has cumulatively sold over 44 million records worldwide with Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver. He’s garnered two Grammy Awards in the category of “Best Hard Rock Performance”—in 2005 for “Slither” and in 1994 for “Plush.” Stone Temple Pilots’ Purple debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 a feat also accomplished by Velvet Revolver’s Contraband. Weiland’s voice has driven some of the most recognizable hits in rock n’ roll history including “Sex Type Thing,” “Wicked Garden,” “Creep,” “Interstate Love Song,” “Vasoline,” “The Big Empty,” “Sour Girl,” “Down” and more. He released his memoir Not Dead & Not for Sale in 2011 to critical applause. Still, his most powerful music is yet to come with the release of Blaster.

About Gloria Trevi

The Los Angeles Times wrote: “Gloria’s cathartic singing, which has the passion of Latin balladry fired by rock ‘n’ roll anarchy, is more evocative of Janis Joplin’s full-steam attack” and Barry Walters writing for Rhapsody says: “What Elvis was to America and The Beatles were to England, Trevi is to Mexico.”

The multi-Billboard winner has released l3 albums and written over 400 songs, many of which are the soundtrack of a generation.

Gloria has starred in films her own films, including Pelo Suelto, Zapatos Viejos and La Papa sin Catsup. Her films set records and beat huge American productions like Batman at theatres in Mexico.

A film as provocative as Trevi herself, Gloria chronicles the sacrifices, risks and secrets behind the successful career of one of the supernovas of Mexican pop.

A bold and compelling musical drama about ambition, betrayal and redemption, the film stars newcomer Sofía Espinosa, who explodes on screen in the title role and sings eight of Trevi’s songs, and the renowned Mexican actor Marco Pérez (Amores Perros, Trade).

Read Billboard.com‘s exclusive interview with Wyclef Jean here and below.

Since the release of his seventh studio album, From the Hut, to the Projects, to the Mansion seven years ago, Wyclef Jean has been in the studio consistently making music.

“Musicians never stop doing music. Whether if I’m active in a music space for the charts or I’m just doing music, we never stop doing music,” Wyclef Jean tells Billboard.

Jean has been in the studio recording his eighth studio album Clefication, which features DJ Khaled, Emeli Sande, Afrojack and Avicii.

One of the songs that came out of the “bunch of music” Avicii and Jean recorded for Clefication is the first single, “Divine Sorrow.”

“The genesis of what I do is based off songwriting,” Jean explains. “I’m a songwriter first I love to be there with the guitar and piano. Someone who has the same hobby as me is Avicii. We got into the studio and just started to work on a bunch of music. ‘Divine Sorrow’ was one of the records recorded. The tone of it, the attitude, the emotion is… it’s been a minute since you heard that [from] me.”

Check out Wyclef Jean performing his first single, “Divine Sorrow.”

***Spanish Version Below***

29vh_Photoconcert

Ricardo Arjona kicked off the U.S. leg of his spectacularly successful VIAJE tour this weekend with two sold out shows at the Jose Miguel Agrelot Coliseum in Puerto Rico. The curtains rise on a bustling train station nearly 70 ft high, which transforms each time Arjona plays another song. For nearly two hours, the acclaimed performer had the audience on its feet, performing nearly two dozen songs including favorites such as El Problema, Dime Que No, Cuando, Historia de Taxi, Señora de las Cuatro Decadas, Apnea, Minutos and closing song, Mujeres.

Grab your passport; the next stop is Friday, February 27, when Arjona will continue his tour in Miami at the American Airlines Arena. U.S. fans have not seen the legendary singer/songwriter, or any other artists for that matter perform on a tour of this scale ever:

VIAJE TOUR IN NUMBERS

More than 100 people work each show

7 trucks

Stage is almost 70 ft. tall

LED screens on stage

Stage weighs almost 40 thousand tons

This week, Arjona took his VIAJE Tour to Viña del Mar Festival where he performed in front of more than 15 thousand people. This is Arjona’s 6^th appearance at La Quinta Vergara’s famous stage. The singer-songwriter captivated the audience once again and took home two awards (Gaviota de Plata and Gaviota de Oro), the highest honors of the music festival.

Ricardo Arjona has always been an explorer, having journeyed musically through a diverse universe of musical influences and a fearless lyrical style, addressing matters of love, racism and immigration in eloquent verse that has attracted a huge following. On his VIAJE tour he continues to push boundaries – the production is one of the most ambitious ever seen and has attracted a huge following. In Argentina alone, his VIAJE TOUR attracted more than 200,000 concertgoers to the GEBA Stadium Buenos Aires, breaking all previous records in the stadium.

VIAJE TOUR is produced by Cárdenas Marketing Network (CMN), the largest producer of Latin music and entertainment events in the U.S., with over 2,500 activations each year. CMN unites brands with consumers through shared passion points of music, sports, and cultural pride. And the Ricardo Arjona Viaje tour is one of the most ambitious and largest productions ever for a Latin artist.

The critically acclaimed Arjona had released fourteen studio albums, one live album, nine compilation albums and forty-three singles. He has had four #1 the Billboard Top Latin Albums, and four #1 singles on the Billboard Top Latin Single charts. His work earned him numerous awards and accolades, including one Grammy Award, one Latin Grammy Award, the “Latin Heritage” Award^[3] as well as awards from the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers; a silver and golden torch and two silver seagulls from the 2010 Viña del Mar International Song Festival, two Billboard Latin Music Awards, and a Premio lo nuestro.

Sobre Viaje Tour

Viaje Tour cuenta con uno de los escenarios mas grande de Latinoamérica y tiene una puesta en escena pocas veces vista. Son más de 20 metros de altura. Ambientada en una estación de tren, lugar que durante dos horas será el mejor testigo de por que Ricardo Arjona sigue siendo el artista latino mas importante de todos. Se apagan las luces, una bicicleta antigua avanza frente a mas de 18 mil personas, de las cuales ninguna quedo sentada. Gritos, llantos, gritos. El escenario es una estación vieja de trenes: bancos, valijas, vías montado teatralmente en dos pisos.

Un show en el que se mezclan perfectamente los momentos íntimos “Guitarra en Mano, pocas luces y algunos clásicos”

Las luces perfectamente combinadas con las imágenes proyectadas en los LEDS gigantes sobre una puesta en escena magnífica, le dan a cada canción un marco teatral y único.
