ROCK
Their next album “Dance and Dense Denso (2003)” was produced by latin alternative genius Gustavo Santaolalla. “Con Todo Respeto (2004)”, to “Eternamiente (2007)” they have proven that people want an honest and controversial group to speak for them. Molotov is currently working on their 7th album which is scheduled for release in 2011.
By Rosario Garcia
he biggest thing to hit Mexico City’s alternative rock scene in the last fifteen years is undoubtedly the Three-time Latin Grammy Award-winning Mexican Rock band, Molotov, is set to bring their explosive and controversial show to the 9:30 Club on Sunday, September 18th, 2011. This four piece band is not your conventional rock band. They formed in Mexico in 1995 and feature a mixture of lyrics in Spanish and English, rapped and sung by all members of the group. They blend heavy basslines and guitar riffs with politically inspired lyrics addressing issues such as immigration in “Frijolero” to corruption in “Gimme Tha Power”. To say the band chooses risqué topics to sing about is a bit of an understatement. In their 1997 CD release of “Donde Jugaran las Ninas?” (a parody of Mana’s “Donde Jugaran los Ninos?” CD), their song “Puto” which translates to “Man-whore” in Spanish got them banned from many Mexican radio stations. The song with the controversial name is not a song about gay-bashing but rather a political song encouraging people to stand up for what they believe in, stand up for their rights. These attempts to silence the band only seemed to help as the album which reached
platinum sales in Spain (twice) and gold record in Mexico (four times). Not bad. Shortly after, Molotov released a remix album titled “Molomix” which contained remixes of songs in their first album as well as two new songs, a song which made fun of the Spanish language networks “El Carnal de las Estrellas” and a cover of Queens “Bohemian Rhapsody” titled “Rap, Soda, y Bohemia” that had been featured in a Queen compilation album. Molotov then released successful follow up albums that cemented them into latin rock stardom. In 1999 they went into the studio with the legendary Beastie Boys Producer, Mario Caldato Jr. and created “Apocalypshit (1999).
Molotov’s members consistently only go by their nicknames, “Tito”(vocals, guitar, bass), “Miky” (vocals, bass, drums), “Paco” (vocals, guitar, bass), and “Randy, El Gringo Loco” (drums, vocals, guitar) and break all the rules by switching up instruments and vocals depending on their mood. Their fluidity both on and off stage shows how comfortable they really are with each other. On their twitter pages each band member’s goal is to playfully try to one-up each other in sharing embarrassing facts on tour. Recently Randy (el ‘gringo’ who is Caucasian but has been thoroughly adopted as Mexican) tweeted in Spanish, “Aunq no lo crean... Acabamos de hechar un juego de “Las Traes” en el metro de Hamburgo... Perdio Tito!!!!” His message stated that the band had partaken in a game of tag in the Hamburg Metro … Tito lost. This comradeship is a far cry from 2007 when they announced they were calling it quits due to economic and creative differences. Each band member then released individual projects which they baited their fans to rate to see “who was the best”. The band later reunited and compiled these individual
albums and released them as “Eternamiente” under the Molotov name showing that in fact they were still very much together as a band. Currently Molotov just finished a successful 40 date European tour in which they toured Germany, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, UK, Belgium, and many more countries performing in several music festivals. Paco Ayala commented in a Spanish magazine, “When I see people jumping and enjoying our songs in places like eastern Europe, I have the same feeling as when Rod Stewart played in Querétaro in the late 80s. The majority of the people in that stadium had no idea what the songs were about, but their energy transgressed all.” The tour which they titled “Don’t You Know We’re Loco” took them two months to complete and included many sold out shows. The band played all their familiar songs and tangled in some new ones that will be featured in their next album.

TROPICAL
By April Rose
magine intense energy, rhythmic cultured salsa paired with hip hop sounds that will make you want to get up out of your seat and dance, and then add some sexy, sweaty, and perfectly choreographed dance moves and this is only a taste of what you can expect at a Kings of Salsa performance. This Cuban dance troupe delivers an absolutely mind-blowing experience unlike any other. The Kings of Salsa are composed of Cuba’s best and finest dancers meticulously plucked from Cuba’s top dance schools and paired with the nine piece band, Cuba Ashire. According to their website, the Kings of Salsa experience “is a slice of cool contemporary Cuba never seen before on stage.”
creating a more contemporary project. We worked on the music for six months doing workshops in my place, from then on we started the production working with the young talented musicians and dancers.” Before making a name for himself and building his good reputation, Roclan began his choreography career in1998 at the Ballet de la Televisión Cubana Company working for television shows. From there, he moved his way to working for the Tropicana. Since then, Roclan has gained the experience he needed to be known as the top notch choreographer in Cuba.
The show is choreographed by Roclan Gonzalez Chavez who has been characterized as a young top choreographer in Cuba. Kesta Magazine was lucky enough to interview Roclan to bring you some special insight on the making of Kings of Salsa and the long journey Roclan took towards mastering his choreography and artistic talents.
But where does someone gain such inspiration to combine an eclectic form of music variations and dance styles such as street salsa, hip hop, Afro Caribbean, Mambo, Rumba and Cha Cha Cha together into a heart pounding performance? Roclan details that his inspiration comes from both Latin and non-Latin influences from artists such as, “Benny More, Joseíto Fdez, Lecuona, Elio Revé, Van Van, Gloria Estefan, Lazaro Roo, Vieja Trova Santiaguera e Iraquere.”
According to Roclan’s definition of the Kings of Salsa, “It is a new way of making Cuban shows with a mix of contemporary techniques and movements of our popular rhythms.” However, the amazing choreography displayed in a Kings of Salsa performance didn’t come together overnight. A lot of work has gone into developing Roclan’s techniques and styles for each performance. Roclan tells us how the Kings of Salsa were developed, “I’ve worked with the producer Jon Lee for the last ten years in other Cuban shows such as Lady Salsa, and Bar de Buena Vista. He proposed the idea of
On October 1st and 2nd, get ready for an explosion of high voltage salsa and sizzling choreography in the hands of the Kings of Salsa dance troupe at George Mason University’s Center of the Arts and Hylton’s Perfoming Arts Center. Roclan tells the DC area to expect, “A Cuban contemporary party, you’ll feel like you’re in Cuba sparing the flight ticket.” This is a definitely a show not to be missed! █

Gilberto Santa Rosa By Gloria Turin
A large component of our lives is the romance that is always accompanied by outstanding music. And within the music, there are no doubt certain genres that lead the army of seduction. One of the generals of the army that is Salsa, Puerto Rican Gilberto Santa Rosa, has melted me with his lyrics and music since I was 10 years old; no wonder they call him “El Caballero de la Salsa” (The Gentleman of the Salsa). As I write this article, a huge smile covers my face thinking of all the wonderful songs that have become a part of my life and all the other fans around the world like you and me. Salsa is his passion, but not his border—he has no limits—and the passionate romantic comes out in all of his songs.
A
Gilberto Santa Rosa was born in Santurce, Puerto Rico in 1962. His first glimpse of Salsa was when he heard El Gran Combo live on television. He would watch them sing and dance, trying to memorize all the words and moves with perfection. While other young boys dreamt of being superman, he grabbed his toothbrush and pretended to be one of the singers of “El Gran Combo.” Gilbertito always stood out from his friends, which is probably why his life turned out much different than the majority of the kids he knew as a child. He started singing boleros in elementary school with a classmate. Then at the age of 12, he organized
a group of amateurs taking their first steps in the tropical music genre. Two years later, he received his first opportunity to record professionally by Master Mario Ortiz. Squarely on the music scene professionally, he joined the orchestra “La Grande” for two years where he met Elias Lopez who helped him become a truly polished performer. His musical influences come from El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico, Andy Montañez, Pellín Rodríguez, Tito Rodríguez, Miguelito Valdés and La Lupe. He grew musically as he participated in the recording “Homenaje a Eddie Palmieri” in Puerto Rico with All Star in 1980. From this experience he joined Tommy Olivencia’s orchestra, whom he made several recordings to join Willie Rosario’s orchestra. And 30 years later, Santa Rosa continues to be a star and a true expert of his craft. Voted by Billboard Magazine as the Tropical Artist of the Decade and winner of a Grammy Award, Gilberto Santa Rosa was one of the first artists to bring a salsa show to the most important venue in Puerto Rico, “El Centro De Bellas Artes.” No salsa performer had ever been booked into that venue. Gilberto sold out every seat in the house, a feat he would repeat every year thereafter. The 49 year old Puerto Rican has traveled throughout Latin America and parts of Europe, bringing the best songs from his repertoire, among which are “Que alguien me diga,” “Conciencia,” “Conteo Regresivo,” “Mal Herido,” “Sin Voluntad,” “No Pense Enamorarme Otra Vez”
and “Me Volvieron Hablar de Ella.” His music and his unmistakable style even took him to Japan, where he visited as a musical ambassador of Puerto Rico. Currently, Gilberto Santa Rosa is one of the most important singers of romantic Salsa. At the beginning of this year, Santa Rosa and Ruben Blades were touring together in the United States. The singers performed a duet together titled “Me Cambiaron las Preguntas,” which appears in Santa Rosas new album, “Irrepetible” (Unrepeatable). The song marks a highlight for Gilberto in his music career, as it’s the first song he’s recorded with the prime focus being on social issues. According to Gilberto, it’s “unrepeatable because when you try to repeat a formula, it never turns out like you expected it to.” On Wednesday September 14th, El Caballero de la Salsa will be giving a show at the Gala Institute Congressional Hispanic Caucus in D.C. after President Barack Obama’s speech. And to the delight of his followers, the salsa star will return to Virginia for a concert on September 25th at the Salsa Room in Arlington. He will offer a broad palette of emotions for those who are believers in love and his songs, although his main goal is to continue promoting salsa, making sure that it is never forgotten nor replaced by another genre. So take a musical journey and check him out as he shares with his audience a summary of his excitingly successful 30 year career. █

URBAN
By Cristina Cortés
ITH THE TITLES OF RAPPER, SINGER, SONGWRITER, AND EVEN ACTOR ON HIS RESUME, THIS AMBITIOUS YOUNG MAN WAS WAITING FOR THE DAY HE WOULD BE GIVEN AN OPPORTUNIT Y LIKE THIS. AFTER ALMOST TEN YEARS OF HUSTLING TO MAKE IT TO THE TOP, HE HAS BEEN NOMINATED FOR HIS FIRST LATIN GRAMMY FOR BEST URBAN SONG OF THE YEAR FOR ONE OF HIS LATEST RELEASES, “SENTIMIENTO,” WITH FELLOW REGGAETONERO VICO C. IT’S BEEN A LONG ROAD FILLED WITH PLENT Y OF TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS INCLUDING A LAWSUIT, THE DECISION TO MOVE OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES, AND A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF HARD WORK. YET SOMEHOW, SOME WAY, NEW YORK NATIVE ARCÁNGEL IS FINALLY SEEING HIS DREAMS MANIFEST INTO REALIT Y. Born Austin Santos on December 23, 1985 in the New York City, Arcángel was born with a passion for music pulsing through his veins. He was the oldest of three children raised by a single mother, Carmen, who was part of the once-popular merengue group Las Chicas Del Can. Even though Las Chicas del Can was a successful group into the 1990’s, Carmen sacrificed her music career for her children. This was no easy choice for her, but has definitely proved to be worth the cost. In 2002, Arcángel’s desire to become reggaeton’s next big thing inspired him to take a lifechanging step – he moved to Puerto Rico to pursue his singing career. Once in Puerto Rico, Arcángel followed in the footsteps of many of reggaeton’s forefathers and teamed up with De La Ghetto to work on some underground projects. The duo made some noise in the underground scene, drawing attention
from reggaeton artist Zion (of the duo Lennox y Zion), who ultimately signed them to his label, Baby Records. By 2006, Arcángel y De La Ghetto had taken several more strides in furthering their careers, including a feature on the compilation album Sangre Nueva by Hector el Father with their first hit song, “Ven y Pegáte.” Everything seemed to be going exactly as planned – until things started to fall apart right before Arcángel’s eyes. Despite Arcángel y De La Ghetto being in the studio constantly over the years, laying down tracks to be featured on their first studio album, an album was never released while the group was under Baby Records. Many of the songs that were intended to be on the group’s album were leaked on to the Internet. After the relationship between the record label and the group became strained in late 2006, Arcángel and De La Ghetto
chose to leave Baby Records and go their separate ways. With claims that he spent over $100,000 of his own money to help record the group’s first project, Arcángel decided to pursue legal action against Baby Records. While all of his hard work looked like it had been for nothing, what Arcángel didn’t realize was that this was actually the beginning of something much bigger and better. After the breakup of the duo, Arcángel made the move to embark on his solo career. With things looking so tumultuous, the young artist was hoping to finally release his first studio album, La Maravilla, in 2008; but once again, songs from the album were leaked to the Internet before the album ever reached store shelves. Although it appeared as if he would never be able to release an album, the music leaks proved to be a blessing in disguise. With word of his music racing through the Internet at the speed of light, it wasn’t long before one of the songs, “Pa Que La Pases Bien,” made it onto US airwaves, creating buzz throughout the nation about the up and coming artist. That year proved to be one of his best yet as he continued to grow in popularity and became that much closer to realizing his dreams. Arcángel established his own record label, Flow Factory Inc, and made his mother Carmen, his biggest supporter since day one, his new manager. With his mother by his side, the ambitious artist finally put out his first studio release, El Fenómeno. Following the debut of El Fenómeno, Arcángel went on a European tour in early 2009, visiting countries such as Germany and France. Since then, his subsequent album, Optimus A.R.C.A., was released, while his latest and muchanticipated project, Sentimient, Elegancia y Maldad, should be hitting the streets any day now. It’s been a long, hard road to success for Arcángel, but with an unfaltering determination, the 26 year-old artist may be adding “Latin Grammy Winner” to his list of achievements quite soon! Don’t forget to check out Arcángel on September 23rd at his upcoming show at Galaxy Nightclub. █

“This album for me is the icing on the cake.” Gianmarco tells us. “Dias Nuevos” is a great album from a great composer. This album includes collaborations with international stars such as Alejandro Sanz, Juan Luis Guerra and Diego Torres. “They are my friends first and foremost, I always wanted to record with them.” Gianmarco confides in us. After exchanging some words with Gianmarco, you can tell that he is completely dedicated to his music, “I can’t imagine doing anything else that’s not music. I was born to be a musician.” Gianmarco has composed songs for some of the most popular stars including Gloria Estefan, Mandy Moore, Marc Anthony, Obie Bermudez, Alejandro Fernandez, Luis Enrique, Paulina Rubio among many others. If you don’t know Gianmarco, you know his music. On October 20th Gianmarco will visit us in the State Theatre in Falls Church with a show that’s sure to win him new fans and more than satisfy the old ones. Gianmarco tells us what we can expect in his State Theater show, “Energy, two and a half hours of a lot of music with my new band, and a party on-stage that I want to share with the crowd.”
Gianmarco’s secret to success seems a bit like an oxymoron at first, but makes complete sense. “One comes to this life to be happy, not to be successful.” It is that sense of enjoyment from his work that makes Gianmarco such a prolific song-writer. When asked if there’s a good moment to write a song, he simply tells us that, “Anytime is a good time to write a song.” Gianmarco has written so many songs for other artists, that you wonder if he feels pressure when it’s time to create new material for himself. He however, seems to still be full of creativity and the task doesn’t faze him. “Every album represents growth, a new try, a new way to say something. There’s no pressure, the albums come out when they are ready to come out.” What does “Dias Nuevos” mean to Gianmarco? “It’s about the day to day work in a couple’s life, with or without children, it’s always important to give each other brand new days.” Brand new, is exactly what Gianmarco has been giving us for the last 20 years, always coming out with new but still excellent material. “Dias Nuevos” is no exception. Gianmarco is at his best when exploring deep feelings in his music, the track “Si Me Tenias” is the best example of that in this new album. The slow and simple piano
arrangements are the perfect companions to lyrics that ask the why’s of a betrayal. Gianmarco does not call himself a poet, but his fans do. Songs like “De Paseo” are the reason why. “De Paseo” flows smoothly and effortlessly throughout its 3 minutes and 40 seconds of duration, words and music flowing almost as one. All three collaborations with Juan Luis Guerra, Diego Torres and Alejandro Sanz are solid, but Gianmarco really hits all the right notes when he is on his own. All his solo tracks really display the signature sound that has made each and every one of his albums a success. What’s ahead for Gianmarco? “To keep being happy.” In his own words, Gianmarco still has “plenty left to achieve.” “Dias Nuevos” may just be the first act in a brand new stage of his highly regarded career. Even with all his musical accomplishments and past experiences, Gianmarco is still reaching for more. We have a feeling that Gianmarco has plenty of “Dias Nuevos” left in store for himself and we are lucky that he is coming to share them with us. █ To read Gianmarco full interview, go to kestadc.com

FOOD
A GOURMET BURGER TOUR OF THE WORLD
By Manu Mayor
n the D.C. area we have an average of 20 “best burger ever” joints that everyone raves about. The anticipation builds up after your friends and family members can’t stop talking about a place that you just have to try. Oftentimes when you finally make the trip the first bite reveals it’s just another greasy beef patty with excess toppings. Burgers are burgers and they’re not an American staple by chance, they’re good. However, while many places can make a decent burger, Cuban-born Chef Raynold Mendizabal, believes that “food is sacred” and has taken the familiar burger joint and turned it into an exotic jet-set destination. With his restaurant Black & Orange, in both Dupont Circle and now U Street corridor, Mendizabal has chosen the path of artistry over the “assembly line” approach. There the intense flavors of high cuisine meet the burger, and what a pleasant meeting it is! Black & Orange offers seven different ½ pound burgers creations and one chicken sandwich called Mr. Pollo at an affordable price of $7.50. Each burger selection represents flavors from different parts of the world. How do they do it? The key to Black & Orange burgers is that the spices and ingredients are ground up and cooked right into the meat. Every bite is a mouthful of flavor regardless of the toppings.
So I grabbed a beer from their selection of local brews by Blue & Grey Brewing Company, (yes, they serve beer & wine!) and got started on a little burger tour of the world. First up was their classic burger, the American style “Rogue State” burger. The first bite was just as incredibly juicy as the last, WIN! The “Rogue State” had a hint of spiciness and the burger patty was the perfect size, not too big or small. The bread used for the burgers is golden! It’s soft and melts right into the burger with each bite, never has a burger had such a perfect companion. The “Ciao Down” burger takes us to exotic Italy. Fresh basil leaves, both on top and inside the burger patty, mingle with minced tomatoes and garlic in this Italian creation. The burger manages to capture the signature Italian flavors without overpowering your taste buds. Ever tried Jamaican jerk chicken? Well now you can try the burger version in, “No Burger, No Cry”. A beef burger infused with a homemade jerk seasoning blend, red onions and habanero peppers that will make you work up a sweat. This is an intense burger without going over the top by being too spicy. Have a taste for Indian food? Try to not get carried away while eating the “Curried Away” burger. Yeah, you guessed it, a burger full of curry flavor.
How original is that?! If you like curry, you will love this burger. The last stop on our burger-tasting tour of the world is Asia. Bite the “Now & Zen” burger and your taste buds will be transported through Thailand, China, Korea & Japan all at once! How on Earth can one manage to incorporate all these flavors into one burger is beyond me. It’s not however, beyond Chef Raymond Mendizabal’s skills. And have I mentioned their house mayonnaise concoctions? Their mayo comes in choices of Chipotle, Wasabi, Old Bay, and the staple regular flavor. I’m now addicted to their Old
Bay mayo and sweet potato fries and will have to come back regularly to get my fix. So remember next time a friend tries to take you to their “best burger ever” place, tell them about Black & Orange. Better yet, tell them you’re taking them from the US to Italy, Jamaica, India, and Asia in one night. Thanks to Black & Orange’s accommodating hours (11AM to 5AM) and two locations in the bar-hopping neighborhoods of Dupont Circle and U Street Corridor, there’s always a trip waiting to happen! █ Black and Orange 1300 Connecticut Ave NW DC 14th & U St. NW DC blackandorangeburger.com

he place where una “guagua” is a baby, “huevon” is used by kids when talking to their grandparents, and “cachai” is one way of asking “entiendes”, Chile’s language is just as unique as the rest of the country. Located in South America, Chile is a very long, narrow country, spanning down the west coast of the continent. With varying climates throughout the country, an endless supply of great wine, historical hot spots such as the Easter Islands, and an immensely rich culture, Chile is sure to have something to satisfy all of your travel cravings! In the northern regions of Chile, you will find dozens upon dozens of small towns where people survive off mining or farming,
Eastern Islands

not unlike many of the small towns found in the United States. What you will notice is different, though, is the location of these rural towns. Northern Chile is known for being very hot, and is home to the world’s driest desert, la Atacama. Certain parts of the Atacama desert have never been recorded to have had even one drop of rain, yet a reported one million people live throughout the desert’s 600 mile territory. Staying close to rivers or the eastern coast, small towns have been able to survive from the water they can collect, some even becoming successful fishing towns. Others live in the altiplano, or the foothills of los Andes, gathering water from melting snowcaps on the gigantic mountain tops. Regardless of its seemingly-permanent drought, the Atacama and the northern regions of Chile are becoming ever more popular tourist destinations. Be it for stargazing in towns on the coast, guided tours through the driest place on earth, or maybe even just to see where all those poor miners got stuck for so long, people have an ever-expanding fascination with towns such as Iquique and San Pedro growing by the day.

Moving towards the center of the nation, you will find the country’s capital city, Santiago. Heading towards the outskirts of the city, you will find one of Chile’s favorite things – wine! With vineyards located slightly north of Santiago and reaching as far south as cities like Bio Bio, it’s no wonder why Chile exports so much of the stuff! Wine-producing giant Concha y Toro is located on the outskirts of the nation’s capital in Las Condes. Known for some of its great bottles of wine, such as Casillero del Diablo and Fronteras, Concha y Toro continues to expand and is the official wine for popular English soccer team Manchester United. Arguably Chile’s most famous vineyard, though, Viña del Mar offers one of country’s most glamorized beaches in addition to its winery. As part of Valparaíso, Viña’s white-sand beaches are the Chile’s number one attraction for visitors. Tourists and Chilenos alike travel to the beaches every year; Los Roques especially in February during the late summer to see the famous Viña del Mar International Song Festival, which has featured such Latin Artists as Juanes, Chayanne, Alejandro Sanz, Julio Iglesias, Diego Torres, Ricky Martin, and many more. Justin Beiber even made an appearance at this year’s festival, making happy the hearts of tweens all over Chile.
Continuing deeper into southern Chile, you will note the astonishing views of the mountains (and volcanoes) and the exquisite natural beauty the land presents. Entering into la Patagonia, beginning near Valdivia and continuing through the bottom of the nation, there is much to be seen throughout this vast area of Chile. If you’re itching for some more history after Easter Island, try visiting the famous Cape Horn or Strait of Magellan. In Puerto Montt, you will find one of the nation’s largest ports, known for its fishing and salmon. As Chile continues to establish itself as one of the world’s largest exports of salmon and other fish, the German-founded town of Puerto Montt’s population has multiplied by the thousands, making it one of the country’s biggest southern cities. The mix of Chilean and German cultures is evident when travelling through, and is often surprising to many who are unaware of the countries many European immigrants. Slightly further south you will find two of Chile’s national parks, including el Parque Nacional de Torres del Paine; an impressive national park which highlights breath-taking landscapes and features paths for trekking up the famous South American mountains, Los Andes. With its incredible natural scenery, this is one place visitors should not miss!
Venturing off the coast and into the Pacific Ocean, you will find another highly visited area belonging to Chile – la Isla de Pascua; better known in English as Easter Island. Annexed to Chile in 1888, historians, archaeologists, and the curious alike have long flocked to Easter Island for a chance to glimpse the impressive moai statues. Standing tall in Rapa Nui National Park, the moai statues have been said to be monuments built by the native inhabitants in honor of their deceased. Much controversy still surrounds the moai statues and how exactly, and why, they came to be, but one thing is for sure – they are definitely an incredible site to see!
As Chile turns 201 on el Dieciocho (September 18), all of these amazing areas will be celebrating the nation’s independence day with great food, great music, and great parties. From the north to the south, this month will be spent drinking pisco y vino chileno; eating asado, empandas, and other yummy Chilean dishes; and of course, dancing queca! ¡Feliz Dieciocho a todos y que lo pasen super bien! █

HEALTH
M Don’t Starve your workout! by Jenny Osoria
any people make the mistake of thinking that eating after their work out will ruin all the hard work they did in the gym. This belief is actually wrong and it ruins the work out. When exercising you create little, tiny tears in the muscles, this tears are actually good because it’s the body’s way of building muscle and strength. To repair those muscles, our body needs protein. When you don’t replenish your muscles after a physical activity your body goes into starvation mode and it starts to EAT AWAY at muscle to feed itself and you’ll have a smaller ratio of muscle to fat. This means that if you skip a post-workout snack, you’re essentially eating away at those muscles you’ve worked so hard to build. To insure that you don’t get to that state, within 30 minutes of completing your work out, have a snack with some protein. Chocolate milk is actually a good post- workout choice. A study published earlier this year in “International Journal of Sports Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism” found the high carb and high protein content of chocolate milk makes it an ideal recovery drink for endurance sports. If it’s time for a full meal, opt for some fish with whole-grain brown rice and grilled veggies on the side. If it’s not mealtime a smoothie with protein powder, a handful of trail mix or a protein bar are all great snacks. So what your really aiming for after a workout is to snack on a approximately 20 to 25 grams of protein and a healthy dose of carbs. █

DMV FASHION
Rani Emaan By Gedalia Vera
his month on DMV Fashion, I followed designers at trunk shows. A “trunk show” is a special sale in which vendors present merchandise directly to store personnel or select customers at a retail location or another unique venue. In many cases, it allows store personnel to preview and/ or purchase merchandise before it is made available to the public. Sometimes, trunk shows sell new, remnant and/or leftover items from runways, samples, and so on. The designer might also want to preview new items during trunk show to attract new clientele. Trunk Shows are particularly popular in the bridal industry; here, brides can view a larger selection of a bridal designer’s collection than is normally carried in a bridal salon. How did they get their name? Trunk shows got their name from the way dresses used to be transported to these events—in trunks. My first stop was a trunk show by local designer Rani Emaan. The event was held in her new appointment-only boutique located in the fashion segment of D.C., Georgetown. Rani Emaan’s line is definitely catered towards the sophisticated and glamorous woman. Her pieces bring out red carpet glamour and diva quality in the women who wear it. The collection is very versatile in its design scope and caters to a variety of occasions, including trousseaus for brides, and can be seen on women of all ages. Whether you are out for a night on the town with friends or attending a special gala, party or wedding, Rani Emaan has something to fit your wardrobe
needs. Exclusive designs are also created according to a clients requirements and specifications. The label includes bridal wear, formal and semi-formal collections, as well as casual-wear outfits. Rani Emaan’s dresses are like pieces of art - ageless, classic and unique within their industry. She creates an intelligent hybrid of Asian elegance and Western glamour of traditional and modern designs. The collection represents some of the finest and most exclusive designs and craftsmanship found in South Asia. The pieces showed had a beautiful and unique combination of fabrics, colors, embroideries in Resham (Silk), Beadwork, Wasli, Zardozi, and semiprecious stone work. My next stop was a trunk show at the beautiful L2 Lounge in Georgetown, D.C. The show featured W by Worth designs, a company whose roots are in New York. It is unique, exclusive, and the perfect addition for all the women who look for a well fitted, tailor-made look. Executed with impeccable style, from simplicity of line and cut to quality of fabrics, the collection is classic and subtle, yet new and dramatically striking. The Worth Collection is comprised of two fashion brands: The Worth Collection, which features luxury apparel that is renowned for its sophistication, classic lines, flawless detailing and fine fabrics, coming from the same mills that produce for Chanel and Chloe, and Worth W, which continues the company’s commitment to fashion excellence in a sportswear line. The collection caught the eye of the attendees because of its colors and styles for fall - light golden browns mixed with darker hues of brown and orange. Trunk shows are a divine choice for those who want a close-up view of the fashion they’ve been eyeing. It’s here where one is able to not only look at, but also study the finer details of every piece of clothing. This is precisely why trunk shows have just moved to the top of my fashion to-do list! ‘Till next time. █

disappoint and Dominick avenged his only loss by beating Faber with a unanimous decision in Las Vegas. The Dominator is now 26 years old with 18 wins and 1 loss. He is headed to D.C. next to defend his title belt one more time. Dominick will face Demetrious Johnson who has a record of 10 wins and also 1 loss. “D.C. fans can expect to see an evolving Dominick Cruz. Fast paced and dominant as always,” he tells us. Should he beat Johnson at the Verizon Center, a third fight with Faber is in the cards. A match most fight fans want to see again.
hampions are made of stern stuff. It takes a lot of effort and determination to get to the top and even more to stay there. Come October 1st, D.C. will witness one of the best examples of that in the form of UFC Champ Dominick Cruz. The Dominator, as he is known, has joined the exclusive ranks of UFC champions thanks to a mixture of great ability, sheer determination, and raw talent. On October 1st, he will be defending his UFC Bantamweight title for the 4th time against Demetrious Johnson, right here at the Verizon Center. Dominick took up wrestling early on in school. Competition was a constant in his life since his beginnings in Tucson, Arizona. After high school, Dominick took up a couple of part time jobs and started going to community college at night. He soon found out that he missed the feeling of competition and started coaching high school wrestling. One of his students frequented a local MMA gym and convinced Dominick to check it out. He was immediately hooked to the training. Soon after, as luck would have it, a professional MMA fighter was in town and in need of a quick sparring at a local gym. Dominick, then an 18 year old with little to no experience, went on to dominate the sparring. Thanks to that moment, Dominick was soon after introduced to the world of professional fighting. “I really feel that I didn’t find the sport, but that it found me,” Dominick tells us. The lowest rungs of professional fighting however, are nothing like the events you see on TV. In the beginning, Dominick earned as little as $60 to
$90 per fight and had to take care of his own medical expenses. “Basically, I was paying money to fight,” he explains. Dominick had to hold down three part-time jobs on top of daily training just to be able to compete and keep his head above water. He also had to make the tough choice between staying in school and getting a degree, or going all in to make a professional fighting career for himself. “Most smart people would have stayed in school,” Dominick admits, but his love for pure competition won out in the end and it wasn’t long before the W’s starting adding up. After self-coaching through his early career, Dominick hooked up with trainer Eric DelFiero after he took a fight in San Diego against local favorite Dave Hisquierdo, on a one day notice, as a replacement... and won. Dominick made the trip by himself with no trainer and no corner man and came out on top. DelFiero offered him the chance to train him and Dominick took his career to San Diego. Three fights later he found himself facing one of the biggest names in the sport, Urijah Faber. This challenge appeared to have come a little too soon. Dominick’s first ever training camp was not enough to match Faber’s experience, handing Dominick his first loss. Dominick went on to win the rest of his fights, including the Bantamweight title from Brian Bowles and two classic match-ups against a great fighter like Joseph Benavides. Last July, the rivalry between Cruz and Faber intensified making it clear that these two did not care much for each other. “I respect Faber a lot as a fighter, but not as a person,” Dominick told me without reservations. The animosity between the two is real, that they happen to be two of the best fighters around, is a bonus for all of us. The fight itself did not

“My ultimate goal is to be the best pound-for-pound MMA fighter in the world,” Dominick says. His words come backed up by an honest rock-solid belief in himself and a laser-sharp focus on what he is doing. There are no doubts in his mind, and after speaking with him no doubts in mine either, that Dominick not only accomplishes what he sets out to do, but straight up dominates it. Chuck Norris finally has some competition. █

ONDAY NIGHT SALSA PROMOTER AND LUCKY BAR DJ, ROBERTO ARAYA, SHARES WITH US THE INSIDE SCOOP ON ONE OF THE HOTTEST NIGHTS FOR SALSA IN THE DISTRICT. Ever wonder where to go on a Monday night in the District? Well for those who haven’t heard or may have forgotten, Lucky Bar has the hottest Monday nights in town. Since 1997, Lucky Bar has been hosting salsa nights every Monday. This sports-bar-turned-salsa-club is a destination for all Salseros, both experienced and beginners. Expect to see a diverse crowd including college students and salsa lovers from all different backgrounds. The atmosphere is friendly, relaxing, and cool and newbie’s are encouraged to come out and mingle with the regulars to practice their salsa. For Roberto, who has been with the company for the past 4 years, building and maintaining relationships with the customers has helped Salsa nights at Lucky Bar endure. In 2007, Ricardo Loiza, the founder of salsa night, decided to leave, and with his departure, clientele and business decreased dramatically. He was a huge part of the company and atmosphere - the salsa instructor on Monday nights and then the DJ later on. Shortly after, rumors began to circulate that lucky bar had closed. In other words, it was as if salsa nights at Lucky Bar had been lost in translation. Luckily for Roberto, he was able to restore relationships with old customers and find new ones.
With the help of his wife, the owner, and a few friends, they were able to bring Salsa night back on the map. “We created a family,” Roberto says, pointing out that by word of mouth he was able to get people back in. “Through word of mouth, friends and salsa meet-ups, we started to have regulars again,” he added. What to expect on a Monday night Well, the first great thing is that there is NO COVER. To keep things fresh, they try to change their drink specials every so often. Currently, they have specials on selected imported beers & beer buckets, which are sold until the end of the night. They also have 50¢ tacos until 11 PM. For the time being, they don’t have a salsa instructor but say that is only temporary. The salsa music is mixed in with bachata, merengue, and other latin beats, and on occasion, will sprinkle in English tunes for the college folks. No need to be a salsa expert. The regulars are always there to help and show you new moves. Roberto encourages you to go out there and ask one of the regulars for help. “They will answer you and show you, no one is prejudice about the level of salsa you know,” he says.
Things have definitely picked up again since Roberto started. Right now, the clientele is growing at a steady pace. “Monday nights get crowded but there is space to dance,” Roberto says, and “…it has kept a level of enjoyment for the people to come back Monday after Monday.” Skeptics couldn’t believe Roberto that a Monday night could work, that it could be just as busy as a Friday or Saturday. “It does work, a Monday night with the right environment, the right music, and the right people can work,” he states firmly. He enjoys mixing the music up as much as possible to keep the customers on their feet and will occasionally bring in guest DJ’s to do just that. Roberto hopes that Monday salsa nights will continue to grow and stick around for another 14 years! Here is a taste of Roberto’s playlist: •El yoyo – Wayne Gorbea •En Baranquilla me Quedo- Joe Arroyo •El Preso- Fruko y sus Tesos •La Rebellion – Joe Arroyo •ANY THING Gran Combo

LOCAL TALENT
KESTA: Describe the writing process for kickoman. KICKOMAN: The majority of the time Levin writes the lyrics, then together with the guitar, bass, and drums we create the base melody. We present the basic melody to the rest of the band to add the arrangements and refine it. One essential part of the creative process is playing live in front of an audience; often, from the fan reactions, we can make modifications to each song.
By Rosario Garcia
t Kesta Magazine, we always know where the hottest parties are, and lately, when it comes to Latin rock, the hottest events are often headed by local band Kickoman. I recently caught up with their charismatic front man, Levin Garcia, to find out more about what makes Kickoman tick. KESTA: Why kickoman? KICKOMAN: Officially, we came up with the name one day as we were eating some Chinese food (but we will neither confirm nor deny this if you ask us haha). Now. Kickoman has earned a more transcendental significance for us. He’s become a real spirit full of music and life that has brought us together to create socially conscious songs while making sure people enjoy themselves. Kickoman loves making everyone else happy and he gives himself
completely on stage. Kickoman is also in charge of giving all the interviews for the band, so as of right now you’re only talking to him. KESTA: How did you all meet? KICKOMAN: Diego Noval (drums) and Levin Garcia (lead vocals, rhythm guitar) met at an Amigos Invisibles concert, along with Gustavo (our first bassist), and the idea for [a] band was born. Little by little we added other members; the first addition was Simon Somers (lead guitar) and then Chris Willett (bass). Rainier Rodriguez (percussion) and Vanessa Cubas (background vocals) were long-time friends, and when our first percussionist moved to California, they joined the project as well. The last to join were Mat Ellis (saxophone) and Wes Boiling (trombone), they changed the band by adding the “metal” touch, in this case the horn section. Kickoman is still in constant evolution and it’s probable that in the near future we will be adding more family members. KESTA: What are your musical influences? KICKOMAN: Are you sure you have enough space to publish our response (haha)? Our influences are diverse and that’s what defines our original sound. We go from loving Hector Lavoe and Ruben Blades to some Bob Marley, Gondwana, and Sublime, then we add in a little bit of ska. KESTA: How would you classify your music? KICKOMAN: It’s impossible to encase it into one single genre; it’s a melting pot of sounds. Of course, the majority of our music involves some type of reggae and ska sound, but at the same time, we fuse so many different sounds like merengue, salsa, cumbia, and even some dancehall from Jamaica. If someone can help us classify all that into one sound, we’d love their help!
KESTA: What are your plans for the future? KICKOMAN: We’re in the process of recording our first demo which will contain 4 songs and be released in the next two months. Then we want to start a tour [across] the United States and the world. Similar to what “Brain” would say, “Try to take over the world!” KESTA: Do you have any upcoming shows? KICKOMAN: Our next show is opening up for Gondwana at the State Theater on September 7. After that show we’ll be spending 100% of our time finalizing our demo and planning our CD release party! KESTA: Anything else you want to share with our readers? KICKOMAN: We hope to see you all soon at some of our upcoming concerts and that you keep supporting local bands. Washington D.C. has the capacity to bring this country some good quality music and we need everyone’s support to help us rise. Peace. I saw Kickoman perform at a private event recently where they had everyone dancing to their songs. Shortly afterward Levin was at the grill making a delicious Pollo a la parrilla that was out of this world (definitely ask him for the recipe if you see him)! After meeting the rest of the band, it was clear that they are all down to earth people, passionate for all types of music. If there’s a recipe for world domination, Kickoman will find it. Join their cause online: www.kickomanmusic.com or search for them on Facebook and Twitter. █
