(CNN Español) — El nombre de Beéle ha rondado en la escena musical desde hace relativamente pocos años.En 2019, cuando lanzó “Loco”, su primer tema, tuvo la suerte que muchos desean: su internacionalización llegó con tan solo una canción bajo el brazo.

La que hoy en día también sigo promocionando. Es la canción que a mí me ha abierto las puertas en todo el mundo, cuando salió fue número uno en casi 16-20 países”, cuenta Beéle a Zona Pop CNN desde un estudio de grabación en Miami, poco antes del estreno de su más reciente sencillo, “Guaro”.“Estoy muy emocionado por todo el proceso que he tenido que vivir. Todo hasta el día de hoy ha sido muy lindo, han sido días llenos de aprendizajes, sesiones llenas de mucho amor, de mucha pasión y mucha música”, dice el intérprete....

FREDERICK, Md. (AP) — John Ashbury jokes that his memory isn’t what it once was now that he’s reached his 80s. But you wouldn’t know that if you watched him flip through a copy of his recently published book.Every few pages, he stops. His eyes light up. And he begins to rattle off facts and figures with the dexterity of a man who has spent most of his life immersed in the study of history.Ashbury, a local author and historian, just released his fourth book. It’s called “Reflections,” and it’s billed as a collection of “eclectic selections from the archives of Frederick Magazine.”Since 2006, Ashbury has written a regular column for the magazine called Reflections. In each piece, he profiles a person, place or event that in some way shaped Frederick County’s history. The new book compiles all 86 columns that Ashbury has published over the years, plus one that’s due to run in May.The 87 subjects in the book “run the gamut,” Ashbury said.There’s Morton Mower, who grew up downtown in the...

FREDERICKSBURG, Va. (AP) — For almost 20 years, a group of women who fled Latin American countries because of violence against them have been supporting each other in the Fredericksburg area, throughout Virginia and into Washington and Maryland.The Latinas call themselves Madre Tierra, or Mother Earth. Since 2004, they’ve connected about 500 immigrants with lawyers who helped secure their legal status or application for political asylum. Group members also have provided emotional support after domestic violence or sexual assault, human trafficking or forced marriages or persecution because of their sexual orientation.“They didn’t migrate for the American dream,” said Dilcia Molina, the group’s founder and president. “They migrated to save their lives.”Once in America, some discovered similar problems as those they’d tried to escape.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:18:38 GMT

Back on April 14, just after Nestor Cortes threw seven innings of two-run ball against the Twins, the pitcher fielded a question about his high level of consistency since forcing his way into the Yankees’ rotation in 2021.Cortes, once a 36th-round pick and Rule 5 Draft returnee on his third stint with the Yankees, used the query to make a point.“The big question for me from everybody else has been, ‘Can he continue to do it?’” Cortes replied. “So I’m out there proving myself that I can and not allowing the noise to dictate who I am or who I can be.”A follow-up wondered if those doubters annoy Cortes, who recorded a 6.72 ERA over the first three seasons of his major league career from 2018-2020. That mark sits at 2.70 since 2021.“I don’t blame ‘em,” Cortes continued. “I know those first three years were tough, but I think it’s about time that people start turning that corner, just like I have.”C...

UCP, NDP paint dystopian portraits of rivals ahead of expected election writ drop

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:18:38 GMT

EDMONTON — The writ is expected to drop Monday in Alberta for an election campaign that effectively began weeks ago with both Danielle Smith’s United Conservatives and Rachel Notley’s New Democrats warning of the dystopian future should their opponents triumph. Polls suggest the battleground for the May 29 vote is clearly defined.  The UCP was bleeding support in its traditional rural strongholds over former premier Jason Kenney’s COVID-19 health restrictions and vaccine mandates. The bleeding has stopped, with support flooding back under Smith’s strong stance against COVID-19 rules along with her decision to fire the board of Alberta Health Services and dismiss the former chief medical officer of health, Dr. Deena Hinshaw. Edmonton remains an NDP stronghold, leaving battleground Calgary as the pathway to victory or defeat. The NDP would need to win big in a city that is traditionally conservative blue. Polls suggest it is possible, but the NDP would need help elsewhere to eke out a...
