Serendipity strikes again! I recently purchased a Canon Powershot S5 IS digital camera. We decided to drive over Central Park and just take some pictures of whatever. It was a refreshingly warm October day so I figured they would be a lot of activity in the park. As luck would have it the 2007 People En Espanol Fiesta was in full swing at the Central Park SummerStage concert venue. For free! Naturally, we went and covered the event for your enjoyment.When we first walked in they were showing episodes from Ugly Betty as a promotion for the ABC series, on two large screens. This being a Hispanic event, the episodes where dubbed in Spanish with Spanish subtitles. Once that was over we were treated to Kat Deluna performing several of her songs including her hit “Whine Up”. Much like her music video for Whine Up her performances were very energetic and fun to watch.Next up was Fanny Lu a Grammy Nominated Latin Pop singer with catchy Tejano sounding music. I enjoyed the melody of her music and the smooth way she and her dancers moved. I especially liked “No Te Pido Flores”, and “Carinito”.Then the Queen of Reggaeton, Ivy Queen, came on and it was clear to see she was the crowd favorite. Her dancers where energetic and tight. They added spectacular visuals to Ivy’s already great performance.After the last performance we sneaked into the VIP tent and mingled with the People invitees. We took some pictures and had some desert. All in all, a wonderful time was had for such a serendipitous circumstance.NycSummer

About Me

I love Summer in New York City. There are a gazillion things to do, from free concerts to street fairs, from outdoor dance parties to live performance art. The city is buzzing with activity. This blog captures the fun and energy that is New York City during the summer months. We attend all the coolest events in and around the city. I attend Summer Stage, Celebrate Brooklyn, PS1 Warm Up, Globesonic in Riverside Park and any other chill happenings. Whether it is Reggae or Reggaeton, Hip Hop or House, Salsa or Samba, Compas or Calypso. Whatever the style, we are there to enjoy it and share it with you. Jimmy Cliff, Raphael Saadiq, KRS-One, Kat Deluna, Ozomatli, The Wailers, Nile Rogers and Chic, Angelique Kidjo; these are some of the amazing acts we\'ve covered and there are many more to come. With a name like NYC Summer Blog you might think that everything goes on hiatus when it gets cold. Not so! It is always summer at NycSummer! Look for past NYC shows and other special events from other parts of the world, even when the temperature drops here in New York. So, browse the Gallery Index and enjoy the sights and sounds that is Summer in New York City! Terry
