New York Latin band Zon del Barrio recently released its debut CD, “Cortijo’s Tribe” with the help of Emusica Records and Barrio Zone Productions. The Spanish Harlem group describes its style as structured on a solid foundation of Afro-Caribbean rhythms with a New York twist and a celebration of Afro-Antillian music.
Led by Latin music historian, writer, composer and musician Aurora Flores, Zon del Barrio’s Cortijo’s Tribe: La Tribu de Cortijo relies on Afro-Puerto Rican music veterans Yomo Toro, the King of the cuatro (the national 10-stringed guitar of the island) and Sammy Ayala, Cortijo alum, singer and songwriter. Hector “Papote” Jimenez, a native New Yorker, is the youngest addition to the band.
Zon del Barrio is a play on words for the musical genre son of Latino communities. Produced by musical director David Fernandez, the CD blends dance rhythms of Cuba and Puerto Rico within a New York setting. According to promotional materials it includes elements of jazz, R&B, hip-hop, funk and reggaetón, raw street plenas and bombas. Cortijo’s Tribe follows the production style of salsa artists Al Santiago whose approach is said to have paved the way for the Fania music explosion of the 1970s.
Zon Del Barrio has shared the stage with Spanish Harlem Orchestra, Oscar D’Leon, Bobby Valentin, Michael Stuart, Larry Harlow, Jimmy Bosch, Andrea Brachfeld, La India, and Chembo Corniel. The band has appeared on Univision during the Latin Grammy Awards, on the morning show “Despierta America” on Telemundo, Fox 5, Manhattan Neighborhood Network and the Vic-Fezensac Salsa festival in Toulouse, France; the Howl Festival in the Lower East Side, the Orchard Beach Salsa Concert Series, the Half Marathon in Battery Park, The River to River Festival, and the Borgata Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City.

Rums of Puerto Rico launched “Here,” a new $2.2 million marketing and advertising campaign in the United States developed by Group LIH in Puerto Rico, in late October. No termination date, media outlets or information regarding which cities or markets the campaign will reach were disclosed.
The campaign consists of ten 15-second television commercials produced by Alfa Recording Studio in San Juan. Each spot will feature a Puerto Rican celebrity speaking about a different aspect of Puerto Rican rum such as the history, tradition, location, quality, leadership in sales and versatility of rum. The ads show celebrities holding a rum cocktail such as piña colada, rum and cola and mojito at various locations in Puerto Rico. The campaign includes messages on responsible drinking and choosing a designated driver.
Featured celebrities include: Wilo Benet, restaurateur and owner of Pikayo and Payá restaurants in San Juan; Latin Grammy Award winners David Sanchez, saxophonist and Nestor Torres, flutist; Lisa Thon, fashion designer; Melina Leon, singer and Latin Billboard Award winner; Alberto Marti, environmentalist; Kristina Brandi, Olympic athlete and professional tennis player; Mariem Pérez and Carlos Ruíz, motion picture directors; Shirley Rumierk, actress; and Quetzacoatl, painter.
“We want to communicate that Puerto Rican rum is of the highest quality and offers more versatility for mixing than any other spirit, both as an ingredient for cocktails and for cooking. The ads are meant to show rum enjoyed by sophisticated consumers who appreciate top shelf spirits in the most fabulous locations. The audience will be dynamically transported to our Caribbean paradise in these ads and presented with appetizing rum cocktails by our spokespersons: highly talented and respected artists, athletes, designers and socially and environmentally conscious individuals who are of Puerto Rican descent, to help us portray the unique qualities of Puerto Rico both as a rum producer and as a rum destination,” said Karen Garnik, chief marketing officer for Rums of Puerto Rico.

Puerto Rican rums are aged a minimum of one year in charred white oak barrels. Gold and dark rums are aged longer to give them a smooth balanced taste. According to Adams Beverage Group, rum is the second largest spirit category in the U.S. after vodka. Seventy-five percent of all rums sold in the U.S. come from Puerto Rico, totaling over 15 million cases. Three of the five top selling distilled spirits sold in the U.S. are rums from Puerto Rico: Bacardi, Captain Morgan and Castillo.
“Seven out of every 10 bottles of rum sold in the U.S. are from Puerto Rico. Sales in the U.S. from Bacardi and Captain Morgan alone represent three-quarters of all rum sold in the U.S. Puerto Rico is by far the market leader in this spirit category,” said Garnik.
Although the campaign is not identified in promotional materials as specific to Latino consumers and no details were released regarding the percent of the Hispanic market that purchases rum; in conjunction with the advertising launch, Rums of Puerto Rico is hosting events in three of the top Latino markets in the United States, New York, Miami and Los Angeles.
Company plans include a Rum Academy for bartenders led by mixologists Steve Olson, partner in Beverage Alcohol Resource (BAR), for the New York event; and Tony Abou-Ganim, The Modern Mixologist, for Miami and Los Angeles. Evening cocktail receptions will feature performances by jazz artists Nestor Torres in Miami and William Cepeda in New York. Chef Wilo Benet plans to prepare dishes made with rum as an ingredient.
Rums of Puerto Rico, a division of the Puerto Rico Industrial Development Company (PRIDCO), was created in 1948 to promote the sale of all rums shipped from Puerto Rico to the mainland U.S. Rums of Puerto Rico sponsors events in collaboration with the Puerto Rico Tourism Company.

McDonald’s teamed up with the Hispanic Scholarship Fund to offer five Steps For Success College Workshops to encourage greater Hispanic college enrollment. The free workshops are designed to provide parents and students with information about the college application process, including financial aid and how to apply for scholarships.
The campaign which promoters hope will reach 25 million people will rely on a media tour with spokesperson Mariela Dabbah. Other campaign tools are promotional flyers and posters distributed at local community events, local community organizations, and schools, calendar listings in newspapers, public service radio announcements, and online information including bylined articles by Mariela Dabbah, vignettes of workshops, and scholarship information. Steps for Success College Workshop are planned in Baldwin Park, California; Chicago, Illinois; Newark, New Jersey; San Antonio, Texas; and Tampa, Florida.
“Since the establishment of the RMHC/HACER Scholarship Program in 1985, McDonald’s has been a strong supporter of college education for Hispanics. We recognize that for many Hispanic parents and students, attaining a college education is a dream,” said Cristina Vilella, director of Marketing, McDonald’s USA. “These workshops offer the tools and information they need to make that dream a reality and to learn about the many scholarship programs available like RMHC/HACER, a program of Ronald McDonald House Charities and its local U.S. Chapters.”
The bilingual Steps for Success College Workshops will include a session for parents led by Dabbah, author of Help your Children Succeed in High School and Go to College, A Special Guide for Latino Parents. Workshop participants may receive a free copy of the book.

“Latino parents want the best for their children but many times they are not familiar with how to help them get into college and how to pay for it. These workshops take the mystery away and instill both parents and students with the confidence and tools they need to navigate the process successfully,” said Dabbah.
The Steps for Success College Workshops will also introduce students and parents to the RMHC/HACER Scholarship Program. RMHC/HACER is one of the largest educational scholarship programs for Latinos in the country, and has awarded over $15 million in scholarships since its inception in 1985.
“The goal of these workshops is to guide parents and students, many of whom will be the first in their families to go to college, through the maze that is the college admissions process,” said Christopher E. Jones, chief operating officer, Hispanic Scholarship Fund.
