Today, Tejano Beat interviewed 19-year-old pop star Paula DeAnda whose vocals wowed us
during her performance at the Los Magnificos car show at the Freeman Coliseum in San Antonio. This tiny Latina’s voice filled the room and had the crowd roaring. Paula talks to TB about her life in Corpus Christi and what the music business has been like for her so far.
Following Paula onstage was soulful, sexy crooner Frankie J – who started out with the original Kumbia Kings – and now leads a promising solo career. After singing a set that included his hit “Obsession (No Es Amor)” and his remake of “More than Words,” Frankie jammed out to Michael Jackson’s classic “Rock With You” and recognized the late icon as a major inspiration.
Frankie J talked to us about his time with the Kumbia Kings and he gives us a closeup look at the tattoo that he has to commemorate his time with KK. He talks about his upcoming CD titled, “If These Walls Could Talk.”
Listen to the latest singles from Paula DeAnda and Frankie J. on their MySpace sites. Follow Paula on her Twitter site – although she admits she’s a bit behind on updating it. She spent the weekend getting some R&R at Schlitterbahn! Catch up with Frankie J on Twitter, too! He’s been tweeting about his Texas visit this weekend.
A special thank you to Los Magnificos for media access to today’s event and to EDO Entertainment, management for Paula DeAnda and Frankie J, for exclusive access to the artists. This was our first car show and it was fun!
