iLe asserts her independence over mournful keys in “No Es Importante,” a slow-rolling, nearly drum-less ballad that serves as the first offering from an as-yet-untitled upcoming album.
In an email, the Puerto Rican singer-songwriter described her latest single as “a song that speaks from an intimate perspective, when you need to make yourself realize that someone has been inhabiting your mind for too long and it’s time to let go.”

“I want my country to be free,” said Ileana Cabra Joglar, better known as iLe, with one hand on her chest. During a recent performance at El Museo del Barrio — New York City’s leading art museum for the Latin American diaspora, and the jewel of Spanish Harlem — she took a moment between songs to give pause and take in the history of the space.

Is anyone else trying to catch their breath from the breakneck pace of this blink and you'll miss it Dancing With the Stars: Athletes Season 26 Episode 2?
I didn't realize how brutal a shortened four week season would be until it got started, and now some of my favorites are getting bounced while I'm still enjoying them.
Even the athletes look a bit ragged around the edges and it's only week two!
But only the strong, the graceful, and the witty survive the ballroom, so let's get to recapping the night.
Josh Norman and Sharna Burgess danced the Paso Doblé to “The Plaza of Execution” by James Horner. Where last week's routine was smoking hot, this one was more lukewarm. Maybe it was Josh having to do double duty with football training, or perhaps the whole ensemble dancing with them was a bit distracting.

Switch-Up Week has never been easy on Dancing with the Stars, and that appears to still be true for season 22. "It's kind of like starting at week 1 again," pro dancer Mark Ballas told People on Monday of having to switch partners for the upcoming week of competition. "But that's the nature of the show. there is nothing we can do about it, so there is no use in complaining. We just all get to work!" Instead of being partnered with Ufc fighter Paige VanZant, Ballas will be dancing a Salsa to Eddie Palmieri's "La Malanga" with Good Morning America's Ginger Zee.

As we ponder how series 8's music will sound, Jeff digs out ten inventive takes on the Doctor Who theme...
Feature
With series eight’s Deep Breath fast approaching, there are questions all Dw fans will be asking – perhaps none as pressing as “What new bag of tricks will Murray Gold be bringing to the theme song?” While we all wait with bated breath, why not take a gander at these variations on Ron Grainer’s immortal work?
Doctor Who Theme – Gallifrey Remixes (Dominic Glynn and Syzygy)
Dominic Glynn’s theme from Trial Of A Timelord is an 80s effort that’s worn well for this writer, particularly the way Glynn sneaks in a new array of far-out soundscapes. This remix, originally performed at L.A.’s Gallifrey One convention, features four upgrades of Glynn’s ‘Trial’ theme, as produced with Syzygy (a.k.a. Justin Mackay). It takes a...

San Juan, Puerto Rico (AP) — Puerto Rican salsa legend Cheo Feliciano died in a car accident early Thursday, prompting the governor of the U.S. territory to declare three days of mourning. Feliciano, a member of the Fania All Stars, was one of the most recognized salsa singers, with hits including "Una en un millón," ''Mi promesa," and "Contigo aprendi." The 78-year-old Feliciano was alone in his Jaguar when he hit a light post before dawn in the northern suburb of Cupey. Police officer Jorge Hernandez Pena, who is overseeing investigation of the crash, said in a phone interview that Feliciano was not wearing his seatbelt. He said it is unclear what led to the crash, adding that officials did not find any drugs or alcohol in the car. His wife of 56 years, Socorro "Coco" Prieto Leon, told reporters that Feliciano had been at a casino Wednesday night. "He was...

New York — Marian McPartland, a renowned jazz pianist and host of the National Public Radio show "Piano Jazz," has died at the age of 95, NPR said Wednesday.
McPartland died of natural causes Tuesday night at her Port Washington home on Long Island, said Anna Christopher Bross, a spokeswoman for NPR.
Over a career that spanned more than six decades, McPartland became a fixture in the jazz world as a talented musician and well-loved radio personality.
In an interview with The Associated Press in 2007, the 89-year-old said she saw no reason to retire.
"Retire? Why retire? I've got a job, I'm making money, and I like what I do. Why retire?" she asked. "I think I'll jump out of a cake, or something."
Born Margaret Marian Turner in England, she began playing classical piano at the age of 3. At 17, she was accepted to the prestigious Guildhall School of Music. She left...

Since 1982, The National Endowment for the Arts has been awarding fellowships to a small cluster of jazz musicians (as well as jazz scholars, critics, managers, and club owners) recognizing “that this magnificent art form, so profoundly based in American culture, is one of America’s greatest gifts to the world.” Today the Nea announced four 'Nea Jazz Masters' for 2013: pianist/vocalist/composer Mose Allison, saxophonist Lou Donaldson, pianist/arranger/composer Eddie Palmieri and 'Village Vanguard' jazz club owner Lorraine Gordon. All four recipients are Jazz living legends and have shaped the genre as a whole.
Those honored receive a $25,000 grant and perform in a concert and ceremony for the awardees at Jazz at Lincoln Center. Previous recipients include Miles Davis (1984), Ella Fitzgerald (1985) and Herbie Hancock (2004).
In 2011, it was announced that due to budget cuts, the 'Nea Jazz Masters award' would be eliminated, but thankfully, that didn't come to bear.
