C
inco de Mayo is, officially, a holiday celebrating Mexico’s victory over France in the 1862 Battle of Puebla. In the U.S., where it is actually celebrated with more gusto than in its native country, the holiday has become a celebration of Mexican heritage and culture. The holiday also provides a great excuse to make irresistible Mexican-inspired recipes for entertaining and, of course, a big batch of margaritas to wash it all down. Fresh sweet corn is an essential component of many Mexican dishes and a cultural staple. Luckily, Cinco de Mayo falls right in the middle of Florida’s Sunshine Sweet Corn season, meaning that the sweetest corn, available all year, arrives just in time to be a part of your Cinco de Mayo celebration. These naturally-bred varieties are grown by a group of family farmers who are committed to producing the finest sweet corn. Get the fiesta started with this Fire Roasted Corn and Chorizo Dip and a big bowl of tortilla chips. Crunchy, spicy, sweet and creamy, this addictive dip will have your guests asking for more. For something on the lighter side, whip up a

Local eats: Mi Casa Restaurante by: Louise Harris
W
e were excited about Mi Casa Restaurante's grand opening on April 1 at 334 Burton St. SW in Grand Rapids, Mich. We were hopeful for good food because we knew the Madera family who owned the restaurant. The Madera family always sell quality products in their supermarket and know the food business. We were anticipating a good meal. We were not disappointed. We ordered Consome Sancocho, a traditional Dominican stew. The main dish was ‘Chicharron con Chips de platano’, or Pork Fried Skin with Plantain chips; Arroz con gandules, a type of rice; Salsa de Ajo with mayo; Salsa de Ajo with ketchup; Salad and Garlic Salsa with Salt. We were impressed when the stew came to the table in a molcajete bowl. We soon learned the stew was the best representation of food you could get 12 FARANDULAMI.COM | MAY 2016 |
on the island. The meal gave our taste buds a sensual experience that we couldn’t get anywhere else. We immediately brought up images of the Dominican Republic in our minds, which added to our enjoyment. The other foods didn’t disappoint us either. We enjoyed every morsel we consumed during the visit. Special guests of the restaurant visited on March 31, and the public tried the food the next day. All of those who attended the two-day grand opening participated in a truly Dominican experience. We expect great things from the restaurant in the next few months. We recommend you attend and experience it for yourself. The restaurant is open Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and on Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Visit the Facebook page for more information. www.facebook.com/

El Verdadero Amor
A
What’s True Love?
través del tiempo muchas personas han sufrido decepciones y esto los ha llevado a no creer en un amor incondicional, puro,
y sincero. La realidad es que todos en esta vida hemos nacido con la capacidad de amar, pero sobre todo con la necesidad de ser amados, y pudiera ser que en la vida te hayas sentido solo(a), y tal vez has llegado a sentir que a nadie le importas, pero la realidad es que hay alguien que te ama tanto que su misma vida dio por ti, su nombre es admirable, su nombre es sobre todo nombre, su nombre es Jesucristo. Y no hay otro nombre en que podamos ser salvos, Él mostró su amor muriendo por ti y por mí en la cruz del Calvario. La Biblia nos dice: 7 Difícilmente habrá quien muera por un justo, aunque tal vez haya quien se atreva a morir por una persona buena. 8 Pero Dios demuestra su amor por nosotros en esto: en que cuando todavía éramos pecadores, Cristo murió por nosotros. Romanos 5:7-8 (NVI)
W
e live in a world that gives us all kinds of messages about what true love is. The TV shows, movies and books we read all portray love in so many different ways. Sometimes with all the different portrayals of love, its hard to really determine what true love is. So the help clear it up, we’re going to talk about three things true love is. True love has its foundation in Jesus – The most important thing in a relationship is the other person’s feelings toward Jesus. If the person you’re dating doesn’t love Jesus like you do, run away from the relationship. It is never a good decision to become involved with someone that doesn’t love God like you do. This will set you up for lots of heartache in the future.

FIND YOUR PLACE
o you believe music is everything you need? If music is what you crave for then Xsizim can offer you the right amount of dose that can keep your spirits high. Xsizim created his own story from the basement of his parent’s home when he was 19 and has come a long way to be one of the upcoming names in the field of music. Experimenting with different genres of music and learning the tricks of the trade, Xsizim started producing music and came up with his first ever single ‘Nadia’, an electro house track. By 2015, Xsizim had already re leased 7 singles and his first 2015 release ‘Bet You Wanna’ provided him with the publicity and exposure he deserved. With growing fan base around the world and in the United States, Xsizim decided to do solo projects rather than being a part of any band. In 2016, he released ‘Find Your Place’ album and has been working with various artists on multiple projects. Xsizim has also been Djing because of his undying passion for music. Xsizim has also been a part of the Hispanic band ‘Los Tribaleroz’ now known as ‘ La Furia Del Ritmo’, but later decided to work on individual albums and singles. FarándulaMag: When did you start DJing - and what or who were your early passions and influences? XSIZIM: I have actually been producing music longer than I have been DJing. I started DJing a year ago, yet I have been producing for 3 years now. My early pas sion was the music itself. I wanted to perform my music live and share it with as many people as I could. FarándulaMag: What do you personally consider to be the inci sive moments in your artistic career? XSIZIM: I focus a lot on my creativity and sound. I like to keep my style in a lot of my original songs, but I also like to manipulate it by adding different elements from styles of music. FarándulaMag: What are currently your main challenges as a DJ? XSIZIM: So far my main challenge is getting people to recognize me. I would like to play a lot of shows so I can share my music with everyone but it’s kind of hard right now since mostly everyone is into the trap and dubstep scene. FarándulaMag: What makes you decide to play a par ticular record during one of your sets? I usually decide which mood I would like to start with and what mood I would like to end my set with. It also de pends on where I am playing. I also like to pick songs that would mix well with my original music. 65%-75% of my set contains my original music. FarándulaMag: How did you get the name Xsizim? XSIZIM: I got the name a long time ago before I even started producing. I had a good friend in high school freshman year who would call me DJ Xsizim because he knew I liked music and wanted to make music. I wasn’t a big fan of the “DJ” in the name so I decided to take it out. FarándulaMag: What do you use to produce your music these days? XSIZIM: I started producing with FL Studio 10. I taught myself how to use the program just by playing with it. Now I am using FL Studio 12. I love the UI update. I highly recommend starting producers to try the DAW software. FarándulaMag: Could you tell us about your new CD “Find Your Place”? XSIZIM: The new album is filled with energy and feeling. I wanted to show every one what Xsizim is about. Over the years, I have created my own sound and I absolutely love it. The album starts with a suspenseful, dark feeling which explodes with bright energy one the chords come in. It’s really something to listen to. My absolute favorite song from the album is the song “Remember”. I have gotten a lot of great feedback. You can listen to the album on iTunes, Spotify, Apple Music, on my SoundCloud page and much other music streaming websites.
¿
Crees que la música es todo lo que necesitas? Si la música es lo que anhelas, entonces Xsizim te puede ofrecer la cantidad correcta de dosis para mantener el ánimo alto. Xsizim ha creado su propia historia desde el sótano de la casa de sus padres cuando tenía 19 años y ha recorrido un largo camino para poder ser uno de los próximos nombres famosos en el campo de la música. Experimentando con diferentes géneros de música y aprendiendo varios trucos de este oficio, Xsizim comenzó a producir música y lanzó con su primer single 'Nadia', una pista de electro house. Para el 2015, Xsizim ya había sacado 7 sencillos y su primer album 'Bet You Wanna' en el 2015 el cual le proporcionó publicidad y la exposición necesaria para darse a conocer. Con su base de fans la cual va creciendo dia a dia en todo el mundo y en los Estados Unidos, Xsizim decidió hacer proyectos como solista en lugar de ser una parte de una banda. En el 2016, lanzó su álbum 'Find Your Place' y ha estado trabajando con varios artistas en varios proyectos. Además formó parte de la banda hispana llamada 'Los Tribaleroz' ahora conocida como 'La Furia Del Ritmo', pero más tarde decidió empezar a sacar su propia música.
FarándulaMag: ¿Cuándo empezaste como DJ y qué ha sido o quienes han sido tus influencias ? XSIZIM: De hecho he estado produciendo música durante más tiempo de lo que llevo como DJ. Empecé a tocar hace un año, sin embargo, he estado produciendo música desde hace 3 años. Mi pasión siempre ha sido la música . Quería realizar música en vivo y compartirlo con varias personas. FarándulaMag: ¿Qué consideras que son los momentos incisivos en tu carrera artística ? XSIZIM: Me concentro mucho en mi creatividad y sonido. Me gusta mantener mi estilo en muchas de mis canciones originales, pero también me gusta manipular mediante la adición de diferentes elementos de estilos de música . FarándulaMag: ¿Cuáles son actualmente los principales retos como DJ ? XSIZIM: Hasta ahora mi principal reto ha sido conseguir que la gente me reconozca. Me gustaría tocar en varios espectáculos para poder compartir mi música con todo el mundo pero es un poco difícil en este momento, ya que casi todo el mundo está en la escena de la tramp y el dubstep. FarándulaMag: ¿Como decides tocar una pista en particular durante uno de tus sets? XSIZIM: Por lo general veo con qué estado de ánimo me gustaría comenzar y con cuál me gustaría terminar. También depende mucho en dónde esté tocando, me gusta escoger canciones que se mezcle bien con mi música original. FarándulaMag: ¿De dónde viene el nombre Xsizim? XSIZIM: Me dieron este nombre hace mucho tiempo antes de que yo empezara a producir. Tenía un buen amigo en la secundaria que me llamaba DJ Xsizim porque sabía que me gustaba la música y quería hacer música. Yo no era un gran fan de la sigla “DJ” así que decidí quitarlo. FarándulaMag: ¿Qué usas para producir música ? XSIZIM: Empecé a producir con FL Studio 10. Aprendí por mi mismo cómo utilizar el programa. Ahora estoy usando FL Studio 12, me encanta la actualización de la interfaz del usuario. FarándulaMag: ¿Podrías platicarnos un poco de tu nuevo cd “Find Your Place”? XSIZIM: El nuevo álbum está lleno de energía y emociones. Quería mostrar a todos lo que se trata Xsizim. Con los años, he creado mi propio sonido y me encanta. El álbum comienza con una sensación de suspenso, oscuro, que explota con energía luminosa. Es realmente algo que debes de escuchar. Mi canción favorita del álbum es la canción titulada “Remember”. He recibido muy buena respuesta del público. Puedes escuchar el disco en iTunes, Spotify, Apple Music, en mi página de SoundCloud y otros sitios web de streaming de música.

MP: Mainly we have just become better songwriters. In the early days simplistic was the name of the game. Eventually things got a little more fancy.....or maybe I just think they got fancy? FarándulaMag: What has been your biggest challenge as a band? Have you been able to overcome that challenge? If so, how? MP: Having to deal with 6 people’s schedules/personalities/life is pretty difficult. As long as you’re respectful of people it is pretty easy to overcome that. Even though it can be rather time consuming. FarándulaMag: Which songs do you perform most frequently? Do you ever play any covers? MP: The song that is most played is probably the “Beer Song” it is the song we end with at every show. We do covers! Lately we have been doing “Waiting Room” by Fugazi and “Roots Radical” by Rancid. FarándulaMag: Has anything crazy ever happened on tour? MP: One time in Buffalo, Dave the singer knocked out his front teeth on stage. I wasn’t there but that seems rather crazy. FarándulaMag: Biggest regret?
Not eating that sandwich in Pittsburgh. FarándulaMag: What is the hardest part about keeping a band going for so many years? MP: Again just dealing with 6 people’s lives. Having a core people that are dedicated to the band helps push that through though. FarándulaMag: What should your fans expect on your next show at Founders? Just a good time! Hopefully lots of
dancing. FarándulaMag: How can fans-tobe gain access to your music? Do you have a website with sample songs or a demo CD? MP: We have all the major social media platforms. Mustardplug.com is a good place to start. Also our facebook.com/mustardplug is a good place for information.
Mustard Plug ENTREVISTA CON
S
i prefieres música hardcore punk, con un poco de mezcla ska, Mustard Plug, es una banda de ska punk de Grand Rapids, Michigan que debes de escuchar. Formada en 1991, Mustard Plug ha recorrido un largo camino para traer buena música por todo Estados Unidos, Japón, Europa y América del Sur. Se dice que la banda ha sido pionera en el campo de ska punk en Grand Rapids cuando ska punk no era muy popular en la ciudad. Sin embargo, la banda ha llegado con música excepcional desarrollando un sonido único que permite a los amantes de la música tener un buen tiempo. FarándulaMag: ¿Cuáles son sus principales influencias? MP: La banda tiene una larga lista de influencias. Desde 2-tone ska) (i.e. The Specials/English Beat to punk stuff (i.e. Decendents/Sex Pistols/ Ramones. etc) FarándulaMag: ¿Cómo ha evolucionado su música desde que empezaron a tocar juntos por primera vez? MP: Principalmente nos hemos hecho mejores compositores. En los primeros días el ser simple era la forma más común de tocar. Con el tiempo las cosas se pusieron un poco más de lujo ..... o tal vez sólo se creé que son lujo? FarándulaMag: ¿Cuál ha sido su mayor reto como banda? ¿Han sido capaces de superar ese reto? MP: El tener 6 miembros en la banda
y lidiar con horarios, personalidades y la vida es bastante difícil. Yo creo que mientras seas respetuoso con los demás, es bastante fácil de superar eso. FarándulaMag: ¿Qué canciones tocan con mayor frecuencia? ¿Tocan alguna canción de cover? MP: La canción que más tocamos es probablemente “Beer Song” la cual tocamos para terminar cada show. Últimamente hemos estado haciendo “Waiting Room” de Fugazi y “Roots Radical” de Rancid. FarándulaMag: ¿Les ha pasado alguna cosa loca durante alguna gira? MP: Una vez en Buffalo, Dave el cantante se golpeó y se le cayeron los dientes delanteros en el escenario. Yo no estaba allí, pero para mi me pareció una locura escuchar eso. FarándulaMag: De que se han arrepentido? MP: No habernos comido esas hamburgesas de Pittsburgh. FarándulaMag : ¿Cuál es la parte más difícil de mantener una banda durante tantos años? MP: Como mencionaba anteriormente, coordinar con la vida 6 de la personas. FarándulaMag : ¿Qué deben esperar sus fans en su próximo show en Founders Brewing? Pasar un buen tiempo y bailar mucho!

La Música y Las Artes Visuales
L
Por Erick Picardo
os Artistas visuales han sido inspirados por músicos y la música; creando grandes obras motivados por la melodía de estos maestros en la música. Las Bellas Artes son aquellas en donde la mano, la cabeza y el corazón del hombre trabajan juntos cosa que nos permite aprender y apreciarlas como expresiones del sentido de belleza de la humanidad. En definitiva la música y el arte son formas de expresión mediante las cuales nuestras más profundas emociones encuentran expresión. Con la música, ritmos, las formas, texturas y los colores transmitimos sentimientos, impresiones, y emociones. Desde el inicio de la humanidad el arte ha sido el vehículo para expresar la vida interior del artista y crear una vida propia con tonos musicales. La música utiliza matices en sus notas musicales, en cambio el artista visual utiliza matices de colores en la las tela y otros medios que estimulan los cinco sentidos. Por esta razón puedo comprobar que estas dos formas de expresión artística van de la mano. Por ejemplo; los elementos básicos de la música son la melodía, la armonía y el ritmo. Se puede decir que la melodía es horizontal mientras que la armonía es vertical. El ritmo marca el compás de la música; es la fracción de tiempo asignada a cada nota. Así mismo; el artista visual con sus desarrolladas habilidades de observación plasma formas y colores en el lienzo provocando un equilibrio y armonía. Ósea que; el artista propone una represent ación musical de los colores en la obra. español
english
Por ejemplo: el color rojo, es un color vivo e inquieto, que aporta una nota fuerte de gran potencia y tenacidad, como la de las trompetas. En cambio el color naranja se convierte en irradiación y despierta sensación de salud, y cuyo sonido puede ser semejante al de las campanadas. Y Por último, el violeta, que surge al alejarse del rojo gracias al azul, entonces podría decir que provoca emociones más tristes como cuando se interpreta una melodía suave con el violín. Con esta comparación, se puede explicar el profundo parentesco entre la música y la pintura. El arte actúa sobre la sensibilidad y por lo tanto actúa a través de ella. El sonido musical tiene acceso directo al alma. Inmediatamente encuentra en ella una resonancia, porque logran mayoría de la gente lleva la música por dentro. Las pinturas clásicas, esculturas y otras grandes obras maestras que forman parte de nuestra cultura universal deberían ser por lo menos conocidas por todos en especial por nuestros hijos. Hoy en día existe una falta de apreciación para la buena música de parte del público en general. Es sorprendente como las bellas artes han perdido su mística y así su valor posiblemente porque la decadencia en general ha cambiado nuestras prioridades Participar en la apreciación de la buena música y las artes es una maravillosa experiencia porque son dos formas de expresión artísticas que van de la mano.
