Besos,
AVIANA

a new day it is today....positive news from the work front is what i'm hoping for today.......
i had a depressing discussion with my teacher/mentor, Marija Temo, last night....she has seen my positive vibe sucked out of me...in particular because of some musicians in the DC scene....and the task of getting musicians and positive people who genuinely want to experiment and try something new.....this is highly unusual for me to be this way.....i have exactly 30 days until my co-headlining performance on July 17.....

The show is all i can think of as i think of wardrobe, musicians, the set, the musical arrangements, musicians, promotions, venue, crew stuff...and more......and of course there's the work thing, personal life and all.....phew...

i woke up with a headache.....

My desire to be a positive person has returned for the millionth time....i want to be someone that everyone smiles about when they think of them or see them.....so here's to a new day...

anyhow i'm leaving you with this video of 2 guitarists i've tracked for some years now...the amazing Rodrigo y Gabriela....enjoy :)

Love and Air,

Hey!  :)

Somehow as a kid growing up in NYC i discovered Ana Gabriel on my own.  I fell in love with her instantly.  She's a legend in Mexico.  She sings a style of music among others called "Rancheras."  Love her voice.  Check her out.  :)

HI!!

How are you all?!...Hope good!  So do you like the new site colors??? and the new photo on the main page?!?  I did a photoshoot this past weekend for an upcoming show that I'm performing in as a Feature Artist! Yippee!  I saw the official promo pic of me and it's AWESOME!  love it!  Can't wait to post it when time gets near!

This past photoshoot confirmed something....I don't like being photographed!  ugh!...you would think that as  a performer I would be comfortable with being photographed...ummm nope!  :)  Oh well...need more practice I guess.

I performed at 3 open mics last week and boy was it nerve wrecking!  Ive got 2 more performances this week and i'm gearing up for this show in July!   Trying to form the band now!  I can't stay for too long.  gotta go to bed...but i'm gonna hit the gym tomorrow and be at the gym hardcore for the next 6 weeks until the show!  :)  I've got so much on my plate. 

Lots of things i would like to discuss in detail such as thoughts in my head on faith, my role in bringing unity, being genuine, growth as an adult, as a spiritual being, love, my future in music and dancing and more..anyhow..i'm sorry but must go to sleep. But have a good one and I'll talk to you soon!  :)

I leave you with one of my favorite artists of all time!..Julieta Venegas.....I would love to work with her in the future..i think i would be just too awe struck...lol...this an old song....but this is the song that helped me discover Julieta Venegas...just awesome...

Besos!,
AVIANA  :)

One of my favorite artists..with one of my favorite songs....Juanes...from Medellin, Colombia.. .enjoy  :)

Here is a dear friend of mine and my teacher, Saray Munoz, singing.  She is a very accomplished Flamenco singer from Madrid.  She is currently in NYC singing each Saturday night at Alegrias until the end of May before she returns to Madrid.  Go watch her if you can. 

She's a beautiful spirit and I wish nothing but the best for her. 

Sometimes instant connections come out of nowhere, no matter what language you speak, country you're from, color of your skin, whatever religion you practice...unity knows no boundaries.    :)

Watch the Youtube clip below...Saray Munoz singing at Alegrias.  Please go see her and give her a big hug for me.  Te veo pronto preciosa Saray!  :)
Love and Air,
AVIANA
P.S. Yes I will start performing in "full" starting June....Catch me if you can..  :)
