MARC ANTHONY BIOGRAPHY

Anthony was born on September 16, 1968 in New York City. His parents,
Guillermina and Felipe Muniz, are Puerto Rican and named their son after
Marco Antonio Muniz, a Mexican singer who was popular in Puerto Rico.

Marc Anthony grew up in New York City with his sister, Yolanda Muniz. His
talent was evident early on; Anthony realized that he had the singing voice, but
needed to develop a stage presence to support it. This he did by singing backup
as a session vocalist for freestyle and underground New York house music
acts.

Marc changed his name, to avoid confusion with his namesake, and quickly
became an in-demand backup singer; lending his voice to acts such as Menudo
and the Latin Rascals.

Marc Anthony married fellow Puerto Rican entertainer Jennifer Lopez on June
5, 2004. Their marriage was clandestine and little spoken-of for some time after
the fact.

Anthony has a daughter, Arianna, with his former girlfriend Debbie Rosado who
was a New York City police officer. Arianna was born in 1994.

Marc Anthony married former Miss Universe Dayanara Torres on May 9, 2000.
Though their union was often rumored to be troubled, it produced two sons:
Cristian Anthony Muniz, born February 5, 2001 and Ryan Anthony Muniz, born
August 16, 2003. Less than one week after his divorce from Torres, Anthony
married Jennifer Lopez.

Anthony and Lopez have dueted and performed "Escapemonos" at the 2005
Grammy Awards. Their movie, El Cantante, a biography of famed salsa singer
Hector Lavoe, was released in August 2007. A year later, on February 22, 2008,
the couple welcomed twins. Anthony and Lopez announced their split in 2011.

He has never looked back; his albums and singles have been best-selling, with
the exception of his two English-language albums, 1999s Marc Anthony and
2002s Mended. In his effort to crossover, it appears that Anthony may have
turned away some of his core audience.

In 1998, Anthony appeared with Ruben Blades in Paul Simon's stage musical,
The Capeman, which ran for 68 performances. Marc Anthony has also turned
his prodigious talents to the big screen, appearing in movies such as 1996s Big
Night and Man on Fire, released in 2004.

DON OMAR BIOGRAPHY

William Omar Landron Rivera was born February10, 1978 in Puerto Rico, and was
later known worldwide as Don Omar. The son of William Landron and Luz Antonia
Rivera was always a fan of music, leaving the chance to be a pastor at a young age to
pursue a career in the field. Omar started hitting the right scenes at the right time,
working as a backup singer for duo Hector & Tito among others. Hector Delgado would
later produced his first album.

"The Last Don" marked the beginning of his professional career as a solo artist.
Released in 2003, the album contains his collaborations with Daddy Yankee, Hector &
Tito, Trebol Clan and Glory among others. It moved 300,000 units in South America
and was later certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.
Billboard Latin Music Awards in 2003 recognized him as New Artist, Latin Pop Album of
the Year and Latin Rap/Hip-Hop Album of the Year.

Second album "King of Kings" came in May 2006 and debuted straight at number one
on the Latin Billboard charts and peaked the Billboard 200 at No. 7, the highest rank in
reggaeton history, thanks to his single "Angelito". Omar received the Latin Billboard
award for Reggaeton Album of the Year for "King of Kings" in 2007. The album also
marked the beginning of his association to "The Fast and the Furious" franchise. Two
of his songs from the album were featured in "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift".

There was a slight trouble in 2007 when Omar was detained by police in Santa Cruz,
Bolivia for not fulfilling a concert duty. The reggaeton argued that the company that
sued him did not give him airline tickets in time for him to conduct the gig. A judge later
dismissed the case when both parties reached an agreement.

Omar married forecaster/journalist Jackie Guerrido on April 18, 2008. They have four
children together but sadly their marriage ended in 2011. Omar made his entry to
movie industry as Omar Santos in "Fast & Furious" which was released in U.S.
theaters in 2009. For someone new in the industry, Omar was entrusted with quite a
big role as the main character's new crew.

Omar's third studio album was named "iDon" and released in April 2009 with "Virtual
Diva" as the first single. Having electro-dance vibe, mixed with the typical Latin-Urban
style of Don Omar, the album again secured the first spot on Latin Billboard charts.
"Virtual Diva" was one of the songs featured as a soundtrack to "Fast & Furious".

"iDon" was quickly followed by "Meet the Orphans" in November 2010. It features even
more extended collaborations withs such artists as Lucenzo, Kendo Kapponi, Danny
Fornaris, Syko, Plan B, Zion & Lennox, and Yaga & Mackie. Most of these artists hail
from his Orfanato Music Group. At the same time he was promoting the album, Omar
shot "Fast & Furious" sequel "Fast Five" which was released in 2011. Omar's single
"Danza Kuduro" from "Meet the Orphans" was made one of the soundtracks.

Omar was back with the sequel of "Meet the Oprhans", releasing "Mto 2 (New
Generation): Don Omar" on May 1, 2012. In the same year, Omar was one of the two
biggest winners at Billboard Latin Awards, taking home eight categories for best Latin
rhythm of the year, best songs of the year, best Latin rhythm artist of the year, best
album of the year, best song of the year, best song of the year for airplay, and best
Latin pop song of the year for his single "Taboo".

ROCO DURCAL BIOGRAPHY

Roco Durcal, was born in Madrid, Spain on October 4th, 1945. At the age of
10, she took part in the radio show, 'Conozca a sus Vecinos' ('Meet Your
Neighbours'). In these shows, Marietta (her familiar nickname, pronounced Mar-
ee-etta) charmed the audience with her clear and melodic voice that also made
her a winner in many other radio contests that she participated in those years.

In 1960, when she not yet 15, she appeared in the TV show 'Primer Aplauso'
('First Applause') where a Spanish movie producer discovered her. She took the
stage name Roco Durcal (Roco is a popular girls' name in Spain, after the
place of pilgrimage where 'La Romeria' - an annual festival of worship to the
Virgin Mary is held, and Durcal is a town in the province of Andalucia in
southern Spain). Her first movie was 'Cancin de Juventud' ('Song of Youth') in
1961, the first of many musical comedies she was to star in and that would gain
her fame in Spain, Portugal, France and Latin America.

At this time many other young singer-actors in Spanish films were popular,
including Raphael, Marisol, Ana Beln, Joselito, the Do Dinmico, Miguel
Ros, and the twin sisters, Pili and Mili. Other films included 'Roco de La
Mancha', 'La Chica del Trbol', 'Tengo 17 Aos', 'Ms Bonita que Ninguna',
'Acompame', 'Amor en el Aire', 'Cristina Guzmn', 'Las Leandras' and 'La
Novicia Rebelde'.

In 1970, Roco married the Philippine singer and composer, Antonio Morales,
better known as Jnior, a former member of the pop group, Los Brincos
(considered at the time as the Spanish version of The Beatles). Their marriage
proved one of the more solid marriages in the world of show business and they
had three children: Carmen Mara (born in 1971), Antonio (born in 1974) and
Shaila (born in 1980), and one grandson, Christian (born in 1997, the son of
Carmen Mara).

In 1975, Roco retired from movies to dedicate herself to her family but returned
to show business two years later when she recorded the first of many records of
material written by the Mexican singer-composer, Juan Gabriel. Backed by the
Mexican band, Mariachi Amrica, these resulted in unexpected hits, popularity
and awards, not only in Spain and Mexico, but also in Latin America and in the
Hispanic community of the United States.

Roco Durcal (ironically, being Spanish) revitalised the Mexican music scene in
the 1970s and 80s and became even better known as a singer of 'rancheras'
(traditional Mexican song) in her later years than she had been as an actress at
the start of her career.

With thousands of fans worldwide and records sales in their millions, this
Madrid-born lady was, undoubtedly, one of the brightest stars of Spanish
language show business. In 2001, Rocio Durcal was diagnosed with cancer of
the uterus that unfortunately was later found to have spread to her lung and
brain. Despite extensive treatment, Rocio died on 25 March 2006 in
Torrelodones, Madrid, Spain.

DAVID BISBAL BIOGRAPHY

David Bisbal is a Spanish pop sensation who embarked on a chart-topping solo
recording career in 2002 after catapulting to fame on the inaugural season of
the popular television show Operation Triunfo. Born on June 5, 1979, in
Almeria, Spain, he was the second-place runner-up to Rosa Lpez on the 2001-
2002 season of Operation Triunfo, a reality show fashioned after Pop Idol.

In the wake of his newfound fame as a television star, Bisbal made his full-
length solo album debut in 2002 with Corazn Latino. Released in association
with Universal Music only a few months after the Operation Triunfo finale,
Corazn Latino was produced and largely written by Latin pop hitmaker Kike
Santander, whose previous credits include smash hits by Gloria Estefan and
Alejandro Fernandez, among others. Corazon Latino not only topped the
Spanish albums chart; it also spun off a trio of chart-topping singles ("Ave
Maria," "Llorar las Penas," "Dgale"). Moreover, the album was a moderate
success in the United States, where "Llorar las Penas" proved particularly
popular. Amid the many awards for which he was nominated in the wake of his
recording debut, Bisbal won a Latin Grammy in 2003 for Best New Artist.

The follow-up album, Bulera (2004), rivaled the success of Corazn Latino,
topping the Spanish albums chart and spawning a series of chart-topping
singles ("Bulera," "Oye el Boom," "Camina y Ven," "Cmo Olvidar"). Produced
and largely written again by Santander, Bulera found Bisbal indulging in a wider
range of musical styles than before, flamenco in particular.

Bisbal (2006), were released prior to Bisbal's third studio effort, Premonicin
(2006). Helmed as usual by Santander and more rock-inclined than prior
albums, Premonicin was another chart-topper for Bisbal, as were the featured
singles "Quien Me Iba a Decir," "Silencio," and "Torre de Babel." In 2007 the
album was repackaged as Premonicin Live, a deluxe edition featuring "Hate
That I Love You" (Odio Que Te Amo), a bilingual version of Rihanna's
international hit of the same name. Sin Mirar Atras arrived in 2009 and saw
Bisbal credited with much of the songwriting which, for the first time, didn't
include Kike Santander.

This change didn't seem to affect the outcome, however, as Sir Mirar Atras
swept the Spanish charts, while a deluxe edition of the record included
"Sufrirs", a duet with English singer Pixie Lott. In 2011, Bisbal released his
third live album, Una Noche en el Teatro Real.
