Meanwhile, the Deputy Minister of Culture, Tommy Garc\u00eda, made a presentation on &#8220;The New Latin American Popular Song (Today)&#8221;.<\/P><br \/>\n<P class=quote style=\"BORDER-TOP: #cccccc 1px solid; BORDER-RIGHT: #cccccc 1px solid; WIDTH: 30%; BORDER-BOTTOM: #cccccc 1px solid; FLOAT: right; PADDING-BOTTOM: 8px; PADDING-TOP: 8px; PADDING-LEFT: 8px; MARGIN: 20px; BORDER-LEFT: #cccccc 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 8px; BACKGROUND-COLOR: whitesmoke\">During his brief statement, Garc\u00eda commented on the historical art ties between Mexico and the Dominican Republic.<\/P><br \/>\n<P>Natalia Lafourcade was the first to speak. She said that her contact with music began as a child, thanks to the influence of her parents, and remembered with love that it was her mother who enrolled her in piano lessons.<\/P><br \/>\n<P>She said that her love for music is renewed every day and that she just wants to organize musical notes and to keep loving the art form that has given her so much satisfaction.<\/P><br \/>\n<P>She remembered people that have contributed throughout their lives, such as Julia Talegas and Meme, from Caf\u00e9 Tacuba, from whom she learned considerably.<\/P><br \/>\n<P>Meanwhile, Ximena Sari\u00f1ama, speaking of her artistic career, explained that both of her parents were musicians and that this art form comes to her through inheritance, as her father was a record collector.<\/P><br \/>\n<P>She noted that, although she started as an actress, she was caught in the nets of music. She recalled with tenderness and love some of the artists that influenced her early years.<\/P><br \/>\n<P class=quote style=\"BORDER-TOP: #cccccc 1px solid; BORDER-RIGHT: #cccccc 1px solid; WIDTH: 30%; BORDER-BOTTOM: #cccccc 1px solid; FLOAT: left; PADDING-BOTTOM: 8px; PADDING-TOP: 8px; PADDING-LEFT: 8px; MARGIN: 20px; BORDER-LEFT: #cccccc 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 8px; BACKGROUND-COLOR: whitesmoke\">Ximena said that her songs are about things that happen to people and stories that others tell her.<\/P><br \/>\n<P>She stressed that she will be eternally grateful to her teachers who taught her how to create and produce different musical genres. She said that she went through several periods, which included jazz.<BR>For his part, Alex Ferreira said that he came to music through radio and television, which was what he had on hand, and then he became convinced that this was what he wanted to do in life.<\/P><br \/>\n<P>Thus, music became a necessity, a great love and passion in his life. He admits that going to Mexico to try to succeed was a crazy thing to do, but he thanks all who have supported his career.<\/P><br \/>\n<P>Ferreira has been a publicist and copywriter, and said that all this helped him to grow, but his life and passion is music.<BR><IMG class=thinborderfloat1 style=\"FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 8px\" border=0 alt=\"Natalia Lafourcade, Ximena Sari\u00f1ama and Alex Ferreira describe how they became caught in the magic of music\" src=\"\/portal\/noticias\/5475_1.jpg\" width=400> <IMG class=thinborderfloat1 style=\"FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 8px\" border=0 alt=\"Natalia Lafourcade, Ximena Sari\u00f1ama and Alex Ferreira describe how they became caught in the magic of music\" src=\"\/portal\/noticias\/5475_2.jpg\" width=400><\/P><\/TD><\/TR><\/TBODY><\/TABLE><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Natalia Lafourcade, Ximena Sari\u00f1ama and Alex Ferreira describe how they became caught in the magic of music Santo Domingo, May 29, 2014 Three young artists, one Dominican and two Mexican, were invited by the Ministry of Culture to the Auditorium of Casa de Teatro, where they spoke and shared with pleasure their beginnings in music &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dominicanaonline.org\/en\/noti5475\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Natalia Lafourcade, Ximena Sari\u00f1ama and Alex Ferreira describe how they became caught in the magic of music&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6967","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-noticias"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dominicanaonline.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6967"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dominicanaonline.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dominicanaonline.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dominicanaonline.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dominicanaonline.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6967"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.dominicanaonline.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6967\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dominicanaonline.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6967"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dominicanaonline.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6967"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dominicanaonline.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6967"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
