And the Grammy winner for Best Regional Mexican Album is...
Mariachi Divas, Canciones de Amor!!!
In a historic Grammy moment, the Divas were tied with Mariachi Los Camperos de Nati Cano for their album "Amor, Dolor Y Lágrimas: Música Ranchera"!
To make things even more exciting, sound mastermind Gil Morales, whose genius graced both winning albums, is the man behind the scenes of Chicoa, our new Latin group consisting of some of the performers on "Canciones de Amor" and "Amor, Dolor Y Lagrimas"!
Stay tuned for more news, and if you're in the Los Angeles area, don't forget about Chicoa's premiere show on February 28th! View our flyer for more details:

Good things come to those who wait!
Alyson has just stepped out of the studio, where she spent that last two days recording violin tracks for the new Mariachi Divas cd, an album of boleros and love songs, scheduled for release in early 2008. This month, she also recorded the violin tracks for another original film score by composer Evelyn Mann.
Be on the lookout for updates on her progress with Evelyn, as they take over the world! And be ready to snatch your copy of the new Divas album early next year!
Remember, the Mariachi Divas are nearing the end of their Concert in the Park tour, so be sure to check out their
performance dates for a show near you! Don't miss out!!!

Hey everyone!
I recently discovered that my site, which I had tested in both IE and Firefox, stopped working in IE. I have now fixed the problem, as far as I know... but if my site doesn't look like this to you:
...please
let me know.
Thanks, and sorry for any past hideousness you may have experienced!
