Well, here we are beginning another year. I began mine by briefly visiting the first taping this year of "La Nueva Ola" Manhattan Neighborhood Network cable TV Show. The show, created, produced, and directed by Rosa Marrero and Fernando commonly known as "El Indio," has been on since on or about 1991.

The show provides exposure opportunities for aspiring performing artists, to showcase their talents, especially among the youth. On occasion, those who turn on to see the show, are treated to some known artist as well. The show is critical in the sense that it provides such opportunities, where otherwise there would be none.

Here are some photos of Rosa and Indio, the dedicated camera operators, Juan Gonzalez the host on this taping, performers, and live audience. I'd also like to mention Jerry Vargas who lately has been coordinating the talent for the show. Support La Nueva Ola show by tuning in when the show is broad-casted. For broadcasting info e-mail puertoricans.com so I can get back to you.

Como siempre, Dios los bendigas.
