// Latin Grammy Street Party // Los Angeles, California //
This year’s edition of The Latin Grammy Street Party held in Los Angeles included a special performance by a new rising pop star, Agina Alvarez.
Hailing from sunny San Diego, Agina was very quick in making the stage her own, immediately enchanting the thousands of spectators with her captivating vocals and special charm that only a young and hip talent like her can offer.
Performing songs from her highly anticipated debut album, Agina opened with “No Manos”, an electro pop track that instantly injected the audience with its contagious high energy and immediately had everyone rockin’ to its hypnotic beat.
Agina followed up with a gorgeous rendition of ”Tan Cerca de Nada”, an emotive ballad where she displayed her incredible vocal capacity in a seemingly effortless manner.
It was on this song that Agina was able to fully expose her artistic ability, as she took a seat to accompany her singing with the piano.
Her graceful piano playing mesmerized the multitude and simply confirmed that this young and gifted artist is more than ready to embark on her musical journey.
Agina closed her set with her first single, “Somos Mar y Arena”, a song she recorded with Sergio Vallín, guitarist of legendary Latin rock band Maná.
With its vibrant guitar riffs and highly percussive feel, this song provided the Latin flare that characterized the event, allowing everyone to enjoy Agina’s singing and dancing in a very festive fashion.
Undoubtedly, Agina and her boys brought a sense of freshness to the 2009 Latin Grammy Street Party which the audience both recognized and celebrated during her performance.
It was a pleasant surprise to see such a receptive audience, especially since most were expecting to hear big name Regional Mexican performers.
Agina was able to experience what only true artists can achieve. Her talent, music and charisma allowed her to transcend both age groups and musical genres.
In more simple words, “When its good, its good”.
Despite the fact that Agina’s musical performance was something new and different for this audience, one thing is certain:
Agina’s talent always has and will continue to speak for itself every time she takes the stage.
So, stay tuned for word on her album release and appearances around town.
