Toys for Tots Blog

'Tis the Season For Giving!


Santa sure is lucky that he has so many helpers! It was an honor and pleasure to take part in the Toys for Tots drive held by Livents at the trendy Pranna Restaurant in midtown Manhattan on December 9, 2010. Boxes of toys were escorted out of the restaurant by US Marines who will help donate them to underprivileged families in the Hell's Kitchen area of Manhattan this Christmas. The event was coordinated with the Ruschenberg Foundation who work year round to give back to the local communities. Good do-ers were in abundance as the restaurant filled to capacity for this worthy cause. For a chilly and cold night, there was a lot of warmth in the air!

Jose Feliciano Blog - En La Escena

Jose Feliciano, winner of eight Grammy awards and seventeen nominations, held a special one-hour matinee performance that will be dedicated to family audiences in the Bronx at 2 pm today December 4, 2010. It was followed by an evening performance at 8pm. Jose Feliciano continues to emerge as one of the world's greatest living guitarists.

Puerto Rican Singer, guitarist and composer, Jose Feliciano is hailed as an extraordinarily talented Latin sensation. He's well known for many international hits, including the famous holiday single "Feliz Navidad."

Iniatiating the Holiday Season with two concerts from Jose Feliciano is definitely the way to get into the Christmas spirit. Throughout his career, Feliciano recorded over sixty albums. As a leading guitarist, he has brought the acoustic guitar to a new level of excitement with songs in English, Spanish and Italian in the genres of soul, pop, Latin and classical. His artistry is rivaled by few in the industry and makes him an American treasure.

En La Escena's own Tony Austin was there not only to enjoy and witness the love people have for Mr.Feliciano, but got some words from the Legendary and Extraordinary human being who even made some jokes during the interview Jose Feliciano.

I want every individual to be touched by Salsa in some way. You will never be the same.”
