Thank you for Fiesta Latina 2009. I’m very sure our Hispanic community is looking forward to this event.
Thans to our President B.Obama for this.
Great Great Show, but Why didn’t Carlos Santana attend?
Wow! Watched Fiesta Latina last night and am absolutely thrilled!
Sure wish it had lasted longer. I am not a Latino but am friend to many Latinos and understand a large part of that culture.
An aside to the wonderful performances was the fact that I saw no Blue Jeans or T-shirts. A cultural thing to come? I sure hope so and find it a super contribution to our future. Thanks very, very much.
