Latin Rockers deSoL’s recently released album “On My Way” blends English and Spanish rock and Latin rhythms. The new CD from Asbury Park’s deSoL is described in promotional materials as “a spiritually charged musical journey that reverberates the confidence of a band that knows exactly where they are going and has just what it takes to get them there.” DeSoL was released through saZon Records/Two22 Music with distribution through ADA.
Over the course of their six years together, deSoL has toured extensively and shared marquees with R.E.M., The Legendary Wailers, Los Lonely Boys, Blues Traveler, Particle and Widespread Panic at Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, and Austin City Limits.
deSoL
The band’s first single, “Karma,” released in 2005, became a Top 5 hit on the AAA radio format. DeSol has Puerto Rican, Salvadorian, and Mexican influences and the band members’ musical heroes include Fania All Stars, Tito Puente, Buena Vista Social Club, Los Lobos, and Santana.
Just before going into the studio to record “On My Way,” deSoL spent a month in the Middle East under contract by the Department of Defense’s Armed Forces Entertainment program. They entertained the men and women of the U.S. troops stationed in Bahrain, Qatar, Djibouti, and Kuwait.
“We’ve been together for more than six years now and the musical and spiritual bonds between the band members just keeps growing stronger all the time,” said Albie Monterrosa, vocalist and guitarist of deSol.

Latino College Dollars Scholarship Directory
Photo: Tomas Rivera Policy Institute
The Tomas Rivera Policy Institute (TRPI) recently expanded its Latino College Dollars Scholarship Directory, available online and in print, with national scholarship information for students. Response to the organization’s first Latino scholarship published last year prompted the Institute to produce a national guide in 2007. Last year’s directory of California scholarships was viewed online an average of 7,000 times a month.
The 2007 directory contains 84 pages of information including 62 pages on 329 scholarships available to Latino high school, undergraduate, and graduate students in the United States. The Directory can be downloaded free of charge at LatinoCollegeDollars.org. Hard copies of the guide are available for a postage and handling fee of $5.
The directory, made possible with grants from the John Randolph Haynes and Dora Haynes Foundation, The Sallie Mae Fund and The Walt Disney Company, follows recommendations from a TRPI study that showed Latino students often are misinformed or unaware of scholarship opportunities.
“Our research has shown that Latino families aspire to send their children to college but are critically lacking in awareness of how to pay for it. We’re working to be sure Hispanic parents and students are not caught in a financial aid information divide,” said Kathleen deLaski, president of The Sallie Mae Fund, which last year awarded $2.6 million in scholarships to more than 1,000 students nationwide. The directory is aligned with the charitable organization’s mission of increasing access to higher education for America’s students.

Scholarship listings are categorized by education level, deadline, minimum grade point average, citizenship requirements and region. In addition to information on 329 scholarships, the 2007-2008 directory includes a guide to applying for scholarships, in English and Spanish, “Get the Money You Need!” and “Padres: ¡Ayuden a sus hijos a obtener el dinero que necesitan para asistir la universidad!“
“We can think of no better investment to make than in future talent,” said Efrain Garza Fuentes, director of Multicultural Programs for The Walt Disney Company. “The Latino college community is very important to The Walt Disney Company, and since we had such great success with the directory at the local level, the next logical step was a national effort.”
The online directory is searchable by grade level, grade point average (GPA) and citizenship requirements. Organizers hope the search functionality makes the online directory user-friendly.
According to a study conducted by the Institute and commissioned by The Sallie Mae Fund in 2006, the directory is a much needed resource for the Latino community. The study also found that often scholarship information is conflicting, out-of- date and not actively disseminated to people who need it. The study also indicated 94 percent of Latino parents believe college education is an important part of success in life, but more than half could not name a single source of financial aid.
Harry Pachon, president and chief executive officer, Tomas Rivera Policy Institute
“This project has been very valuable to Latino students and their parents in California, and now the positive impact will be nationwide,” said Harry Pachon, president and chief executive officer of the Tomas Rivera Policy Institute. “We are very excited about encouraging the pursuit of a higher education, about giving Latino students the information they need to help start and finish college by making it more affordable. We expect demand this year to surpass the pace set last year.”
As part of the project the Institute will mail 6,000 scholarship guides to guidance counselors at low-income schools in the five states with the largest Latino populations in the country, California, Florida, Illinois, New York, and Texas. Another 2,500 scholarship guides will be distributed to Latino students during The Sallie Mae Fund Paying for College Bus Tour. An additional 1,500 guides will be distributed to community based and direct service organizations such as The Mexican American Legal Defense Fund, Parent Institute for Quality Education, and the Hispanic Scholarship Fund.
Founded in 1985, the Tomas Rivera Policy Institute (TRPI) advances informed policy on key issues affecting Latino communities through research contributing to the betterment of the nation. TRPI is an affiliated research unit of the University of Southern California School of Policy, Planning, and Development and is associated with the Institute for Social and Economic Research and Policy at Columbia University.

In support of Hispanic heritage, Hispanic culture and National Youth Soccer Month, Burger King Corporation sponsored six Soccer Immersion programs in Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., Chicago, Dallas and Houston, reaching 150 Latino youth. The company’s support will continue in November with a free community-wide outdoor event in conjunction with the 2007 MLS Cup in Washington D.C.
As part of the promotion, Burger King aspiring athletes were able to compete in MLS ¡Futbolito!Tournaments. Numerous clinics and games were scheduled to raise awareness and educate the public about youth soccer as part of the Fifth Annual National Youth Soccer Month. Marketing staff at Burger King believe soccer has regained popularity during recent years among athletes because of the superstars that have joined the game and the “sport’s positive, character-building lessons.” The hamburger maker declined to share budget numbers or details about its efforts to reach Latino consumers.
“Burger King Corporation recognizes the importance of physical activity and team sports, like soccer, as part of a child’s healthy upbringing,” said Alexandra Galindez, director for multi-cultural marketing. “Our desire is to help young athletes further develop their soccer skills and passion for the game by providing them with unique opportunities to compete in tournaments and meet some of their sports heroes.”

Throughout the year, the company sponsored teams’ registration fees, uniforms and other soccer gear to facilitate Hispanic adult and youth teams in 14 cities to be part of the MLS ¡Futbolito! Tournament. Additionally, Burger King sponsored some youth and their chaperones from local community organizations with enhanced treatment that included special recognition at select SuperLiga games, reserved seating during the game, and access to post-game meet and greet opportunities with soccer celebrities.
Rick Castillo, board member, Hispanic Youth Foundation
“As the demographic landscape continues to grow and change, so do the needs of communities and the kids that live within them,” said Rick Castillo, board member, Hispanic Youth Foundation. Physical and economic restraints often limit the reach and development of youth and it is great to see that companies like Burger King Corporation are taking an initiative to reach out to organizations like the HYF. With the help of BKC and its resources, more opportunities are made available to local children.”
The Burger King system operates more than 11,200 restaurants in 50 states and 69 countries and U.S. territories worldwide. According to promotional materials, 90 percent of Burger King restaurants are owned and operated by independent franchisees. No information was available on the number of Hispanic owned franchises.
According to the Burger King website, the company supports the Hispanic Heritage Council, Hispanic Association on Corporate Responsibility (HACR), League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), National Council of La Raza (NCLR), and the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (USHCC). Since 1989, Bromley Communications has been the company’s agency of record for Hispanic market issues. The Hispanic Youth Foundation (HYF), a nonprofit organization, funds educational programs and other initiatives for at-risk Hispanic children and youth.

The number of Latino foreign workers and their earning ability increased over the last ten years. While foreign born workers represented 7 percent of the labor pool in 1980, by 2005, they represented 15 percent of workers. Latinos accounted for 13 percent of the total labor force in 2005, up from 6 percent in 1980.
At the same time, there were 1.2 million more Latino workers in 2005 than in 1995. Not only did the percent of Latinos in the labor force increase and the absolute number of Hispanic workers shoot up, their earning capacity improved.
According to a recently published report by the Pew Hispanic Center, foreign born Latinos earned more money per hour in 2005 than they did ten years earlier. Newly arrived Hispanics between those years also fared better, according to Rakesh Kochhar, associate director for Research, Pew Hispanic Center.

Kochhar concluded this is due to the arrival of better educated Latinos more likely to become employed in construction than in agriculture. At the same time that wage earning capacity of Latinos escalated to the middle of the range from the low end, wages for Asians jumped to the high end.The Pew report was based on the Census Bureau Current Population Survey, a monthly survey of 60,000 families. The report did not distinguish between documented and undocumented immigrants or the earning capacity of each group.
