Megafest 2008

Marc Anthony, Enrique Iglesias and Alejandro Fernandez lead an all-star blow-out

Get in the mood for September 16 with MegaFest 2008, a catch-all concert for Latin music fans of every persuasion. Like salsa? There’s Mr. Jennifer Lopez, uh, we mean Marc Anthony. With quite a few awards to his credit, Anthony won the Latin Grammy for Best Latin Pop Album andBest Tropical Album in the same year. Want some international pop? There’s Enrique Iglesias, a star equally at ease in English or Spanish. How about some Mexican love songs? Velvet-voiced Alejandro Fernandez (Vicente’s son) is on board. Fernandez started off singing rancheras while wearing tight, tight mariachi outfits. These days the Latin Grammy Award winner leans more towards pop — he even had a duet with Beyoncé in his 2007 release Viento a Favor. (Is it wrong of us to hope he kept the tight pants?)

Also on the bill are the Kumbia All Stars, Fanny Lu, Fonseca and DJ Flex. 3 p.m. Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion, 2005 Lake Robbins Drive, The Woodlands. For information, call 713-629-3700 or visit www.woodlandscenter.org. $35 to $125.
Sun., Sept. 7, 3 p.m., 2008

    El megafest fue todo un exito, ya necesitabamos algo asi de calidad, que puntada mas buena de aquel que tuvo esta idea originalmente y de los que lo apoyaron. Ojala que el proximo a�o inviten al malcriado de Enrique Iglesias. Yo soy una persona mayor y siempre admire al chico este, pero despues de la noche del concierto no hay mas que hablar es un malhablado. Ya sabemos que los espa�s lo son, pero Bisbal aunque se corto su cabello sigue igual de respetoso y energico, el chico este se tomo unos tragos y arruino la presentacion que con tantas ansias la gente espero. El publico merece respeto, no se le quita al hombre que tiene talento y lo ha mejorado mucho a travez de los a� pero lo que hizo le quita cierto porcentaje de popularidad, entre la gente que realmente conoce el respeto y distingue lo que es una persona simpatica y otra que hace el ridiculo tratando de ser graciosa y no lo logra, eso que no estabamos en una presentacion de George Lopez, porque todo tiene su nombre y su lugar. He dicho. Comment by Martha from Houston on Sep 9th, 2008, 10:44 am
