Stellar List of Top Brass Latin Music Stars Release “Amor Sagrado”
Jaci Velasquez, Marco Antonio Solis, Linda Ronstadt, Rabito, and Crystal Lewis redefine the word love
Woodland Hills, CA -- Univision Records in association with Mpowered Ideas is pleased to announce the release of “Amor Sagrado” [Sacred Love] Volumes I and II—two inspirational albums dedicated to love in all its incarnations—due in retail stores nationwide October 26, 2004.
A truly unique musical concept – “Amor Sagrado” brings together the top Latin mainstream and Latin Christian artists in one amazing collection. Stars such as Jaci Velasquez, Linda Ronstadt, Marco Antonio Solis, and Rabito are lending their incredible talents to this wonderful project.
For the first time ever, the world’s greatest Latin pop and Christian music stars have come together in song to celebrate the three great loves of our lives: the love of God, a spouse or significant other, and of family, all included in this 30 song 2 CD collection called "Amor Sagrado.”
Masterfully produced by David Pack, David Schwartz and Dion Lopez of Mpowered Ideas Media, this unique collection of songs was carefully chosen to celebrate the most important thing human nature seeks in life, and that is love--love that is "sacred."
"It is an honor to be a part of the ‘Amor Sagrado’ release. It is truly exciting to be included in an album along with such amazing talent. I hope this album reaches everyone and encourages people to share sacred love with those in their lives," stated Jaci Velasquez.
This project is being supported by a nationwide TV campaign from top direct response TV company, Razor & Tie in New York, which started airing in late September and will run through the holidays. In addition, the albums will be supported at retail by Univision Records and on Spanish television, via Univision Television Network, the leading Spanish-language broadcast television network in the U.S.
With both Latin mainstream pop and Christian artists coming together for this special project, “Amor Sagrado” is a first-of-its-kind celebration of inspiring hit music by artists such as: Jaci Velasquez - featuring two of her #1 Latin hits “ Al Mundo Dios Amo” and “Un Lugar Celestial;” Linda Ronstadt, legendary crossover pop/Latin artist with a string of platinum albums, featuring her beautiful ode to Father God “Tata Dios” from her multi platinum selling "Canciones De Mi Padre;" Univision Music Group’s multi platinum recording sensation Marco Antonio Solis with “Un Par de Humanos;” sultry Mexican pop songstress Maria Del Sol with “Llego El Amor,” and Fonovisa Records’ renowned Christian artist Rabito with “Sinceridad.”
Other key Christian acts included are chart-topping Contemporary Christian Grammy Winner Crystal Lewis; Fernando Ortega, Dove award winning Latin Christian artist; Kaci, featuring her #1 smash hit “Un Paraiso;” Dove award winning Christian group Los Katinas; Salvador, Contemporary Christian/Latin hybrid sensations, featured on the Billy Graham Crusades; and Christafari, the first Christian reggae band with their #1 song “El Amor De Mi Vida;” to name a few.
Undoubtedly, “Amor Sagrado” Volumes I & II, is by far one of the most innovative inspirational music collections in recent years with the most well-respected recording artists in Latin Christian and Latin mainstream music worldwide. Volume I will be released on October 12, 2004 and Volume II is due in retail stores across the U.S. starting October 26, 2004.
