Die salsa singer 'Cheo' Feliciano

(CNN Spanish) - Puerto Rican singer Jose "Cheo" Feliciano, one of the greatest performers of salsa music died this morning in a tragic accident in Puerto Rico, as confirmed by the police.

The sudden death of 'Cheo' Feliciano came during a traffic accident, where the singer allegedly lost control of his vehicle, a Jaguar, and hit a power line pole in Cupey.

The governor of Puerto Rico Alejandro García Padilla decreed three days of mourning for the death of one of his biggest musical badges.

"Puerto Rico today lost one of its most acclaimed voices with the sad news of the death of singer Cheo Feliciano. Wilma and I joined the pain of his wife Coco, his sons and artistic class. Pray to receive comfort and strength they need during this process. Cheo Feliciano Rest in peace, "said the governor.

The tragic accident occurred at 4:13 am in the PR-176 near Metropolitan University, according to the police report. José Luis Feliciano Vega was traveling alone.

"The impact was strong against the immovable object. Unfortunately, Feliciano had no seatbelts, "said Jorge Hernández Peña inspector reporters.

"(Apparently) lost control on the curve that was taking and struck a fixed object. Unfortunately this is our Cheo Feliciano. We have a driver who was not wearing a seat belt. His skull gave the front glass," said police officer.

At the scene of the singer's son, José Enrique Feliciano, who looked surprised and touched by the event arrived, but he had words of praise for his father before his unexpected death.

"Daddy is for life, because he has left us his music, his heart, his people, his people ... 'Family' as daddy said. Thankfully, we have his music to remember him," said Jose Enrique , who noted that his father may have fallen asleep at the wheel of the car.

Ana María Martínez Fiscal investigates the scene by the police.

Venezuelan singer Oscar D'León recalled, very movingly, the moments shared with the legendary Puerto Rican salsa singer.

Feliciano Vega, born in Ponce, made great musical hits like "Anacaona", "Beloved", "Mouse", "My sad problem", "Pa 'that afinquen" and "If it rains for me."

Cheo Feliciano, Debonair Salsa Singer, Dies at 78 - NYT

Cheo Feliciano, Debonair Salsa Singer, Dies at 78
Saturday April 19th, 2014 at 4:56 PM

Cheo Feliciano, a leading salsa singer renowned for both his love songs and his upbeat improvisations, died in an automobile accident on Thursday in San Juan, P.R. He was 78.

He was killed when the car in which he was driving alone ran into a light post, the police told The Associated Press. He was not wearing a seatbelt, they said.

A handsome and debonair baritone, Mr. Feliciano overcame drug addiction and became a celebrity in Puerto Rico and in the larger community of Latin music. He was equally impressive as a sonero — a singer who can improvise rhymes and melodies over Afro-Caribbean dance rhythms — and a romantic crooner, delivering suave, smoldering boleros.

During the 1970s he became a major star of salsa (the name was used by American marketers as a catchall for various Latin rhythms) when he recorded for the New York label Fania. His first solo album, “Cheo,” included songs that became his signatures: “Anacaona” and “Mi Triste Problema.”

“He was an icon, beloved by the females,” Joe Conzo Sr., a music historian and a longtime friend of Mr. Feliciano, said in an interview on Thursday. “His boleros, they had the women swooning.”

Mr. Feliciano spent several years in the late ’50s and early ’60s singing, in both Spanish and English, with the Joe Cuba Sextet, a popular ensemble that helped introduce Latin music to a mainstream American audience. He also recorded with top Latin bandleaders including Eddie Palmieri and Tito Puente, and he was a longtime member of the Fania All-Stars, the group organized by Fania Records that included virtually all the major figures of salsa’s ’70s heyday.

In 1973, Mr. Feliciano was with the Fania All-Stars when they performed at Yankee Stadium. A 1975 album of that concert, “Live at Yankee Stadium,” was inducted into the Library of Congress’s national registry of recordings that are “culturally, historically or aesthetically important.”

In 2008, at the Latin Grammy Awards, Mr. Feliciano was honored for lifetime achievement. The same year, he celebrated 50 years in music with a concert at Madison Square Garden, a performance reviewed by Jon Pareles, the chief pop music critic for The Times.

“Mr. Feliciano, who turns 73 on July 3, is still a formidable singer at any speed,” Mr. Pareles wrote. “His baritone voice sounds richly assured, even when he sings, as he often does, about the pains of love. Backed with the rumbas and guaguancós of salsa dura (hard salsa), he is a sonero who volleys percussive syllables and improvised rhymes over the beat. Easing the tempo back to bolero, he is an equally skillful romantic crooner steeped in Latin ballads, with a touch of Sinatra, who’s suave yet still rhythmically unpredictable. Guests joined Mr. Feliciano for duets, some improvising their own rhymes of praise for him. None outsang him.”

Cheo Feliciano was born José Luis Feliciano Vega in Ponce, P.R., on July 3, 1935. His father was a carpenter, and the family was poor but musical. Young Cheo (a common nickname for José), who received some rudimentary musical education in a government-sponsored school, was initially a percussionist and established his first group before he was 10, calling it El Combo Las Latas — the Can Combo — because they made their instruments out of tin cans.

“Everything happening around us had to do in some way with music,” Mr. Feliciano said in an interview in 2000 with the website descarga.com. El Combo Las Latas, he added, “was all kids, but at that very early age we understood about percussion, melody and singing.”

When Cheo was a teenager his family moved to New York City, where he played congas and would sing when a group needed a vocalist. He met well-known musicians after he registered as a percussionist at the musician’s union, and he served as a band boy — a kind of errand boy and valet — to several of them, including the bandleader Tito Rodríguez, who gave young Cheo his first chance to perform in public.

Mr. Feliciano became addicted to heroin in the ’60s and by the end of the decade was forced to suspend his singing career. He returned to Puerto Rico, where he entered a program, known asHogar CREA, to treat his drug dependency.

He spent three years in self-imposed retirement, and when he felt he was ready he initiated his comeback, signing with Fania. Over the next decades he made dozens of recordings, for Fania and other companies, and toured throughout Latin America and Europe...

Puerto Rico's Governor Pitches a Story of Progress for His Troubled Island
Wednesday April 9th, 2014 at 12:13 PM

Businessweek.Com -- Top News

Every Monday, after going to Mass, the governor of Puerto Rico gathers his team at 7:45 a.m. for a special meeting. The focus is building permits, not prayer.

With the U.S. commonwealth now behind South Sudan and Afghanistan in dealing with construction permits—ranking 172 out of 189 economies in a World Bank study—Governor Alejandro García Padilla is pushing to simplify the process through legislation and personal pressure. That’s already led to a much faster turnaround, the governor told an audience at the Palm Beach Strategic Forum this week. The governor believes Puerto Rico is becoming a magnet for business again and promises he is “days away” from presenting its first balanced budget in more than a decade. “We’ve proved that Puerto Rico is not Detroit and not Greece,” he said.

García Padilla’s buoyant pitch came amid news that Puerto Rico’s finance arm has brought in more restructuring lawyers to help it deal with $73 billion of debt. “That’s old news,” said the politician as he left the forum to meet up with his wife for their anniversary. Lawyers from Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton, much like Millco Advisors, are being retained to help the territory avoid restructuring.

There has been some good news for Puerto Rico lately, including hotel investments from billionaire hedge fund manager John Paulson and the recent sale of $3.5 billion in municipal debt. But the island still faces towering challenges as it tries to emerge from its own fiscal crisis. García Padilla, who came to office last year, is tasked with boosting an economy that’s been marked by crime, a talent exodus, complaints of corruption, daunting energy costs, high unemployment, and perilous finances. Add in the credit rating agencies’ downgrade of Puerto Rico’s debt to junk status earlier this year—a fact that clearly enrages the governor, who said he hadn’t met with them and has no desire to—and the difficulty in pitching a story of progress about Puerto Rico becomes clear.

While García Padilla argues that crime has dropped 30 percent since he came to office and points to increased airline service as an indication that tourism is on the rise, he acknowledges the limits on what he could do. For one thing, he doesn’t plan to lay off public-sector workers in the name of austerity, as that would add to the territory’s 15 percent unemployment rate. And that grim figure doesn’t reflect the reality that more than half of working-age Puerto Ricans have opted out of the labor force altogether. The governor wants to keep skilled locals on the island but can’t say how he’ll do it when average income hovers around $15,200 and opportunities are few.

What Puerto Rico does have—a draw that Paulson and others may be eager to exploit—is the tax advantage of territorial status. The U.S. Government Accountability Office just released a report on the financial implications (PDF) of making Puerto Rico the 51st state. The conclusion: The federal government would likely have to pay millions of dollars, maybe billions, in social programs, and Puerto Ricans would be dinged for much more in federal tax.

No wonder García Padilla immediately dismisses the idea of seeking statehood, arguing that “Puerto Rico will become a Latino ghetto.” Now he has to win over potential investors who worry it’s already there.

Latinoamérica necesita nuevo paradigma económico dice Fernández
Wednesday April 9th, 2014 at 11:36 AM

Noticias SIN

Fernández indicó que durante la última década, el crecimiento económico de la región se debió, en gran medida, al aumento de la demanda de materias primas de China, pero la creencia general es que esto no puede ser sostenible en el futuro, lo que hace urgente la implementación de una nueva vía.

El exgobernante dominicano hizo el planteamiento durante una ponencia que sostuvo en el Foro Económico Internacional que se celebra desde ayer, lunes, en el Centro de Convenciones de West Palm Beach.

El líder político habló sobre la importancia de fomentar el crecimiento sostenible en América Latina y el Caribe, un tema que considera crucial en la agenda internacional de desarrollo.

En el marco de su intervención, Fernández explicó que el nuevo modelo económico deberá centrarse en la necesidad de agregar valor a los productos y servicios a través de un proceso de transformación sostenible que hará que las economías de la región sean más productivas, más competitivas, más eficientes, más innovadoras tecnológicamente y con mayor capacidad para generar riquezas.

Según el exgobernante dominicano, este nuevo modelo económico se obtendrá a través de la integración regional, la inversión y la promoción de la cooperación, así como por el aumento del comercio con los principales socios comerciales de la región, entre ellos los Estados Unidos, Europa y Asia.

Fernández indicó que con la estabilidad política, el crecimiento económico, el respeto del estado de derecho y la transparencia, en esta segunda década del siglo 21, América Latina y el Caribe están abiertos a nuevas inversiones en comercio, intercambio educativo y cultural, cooperación y nuevas iniciativas de negocio que pueden ser de beneficio mutuo para la región y sus socios comerciales.

En lo que concierne a la economía dominicana, Fernández dijo que ha crecido consistentemente por encima del promedio de la región, mientras mantiene estabilidad macroeconómica, inflación controlada y bajas tasas de interés.

Destacó que en los últimos 8 años, el Producto Interno Bruto de la República Dominicana se ha triplicado, algo que considera impresionante, sobre todo si se toma en cuenta que ese crecimiento se ha logrado con un entorno global de crisis económica severa.

Sostuvo que en 2013, la inversión extranjera directa en la República Dominicana se calculó en 2.000 millones de dólares, representando el 3,4 % del PIB, mientras que para este año, se prevé que la economía crezca un 5 %, impulsada principalmente por el turismo, la industria manufacturera, las telecomunicaciones, la agricultura, la minería, el comercio y los servicios financieros.

El exjefe de Estado dominicano fue presentado por Fabiola Brumley, presidenta del condado de Palm Beach, quien destacó las cualidades y la trayectoria pública de Fernández, quien ha agotado tres períodos constitucionales como presidente de la República Dominicana.

Conocido también como Foro Estratégico Palm Beach, y convocado bajo el lema “La conformación de la agenda global”, el encuentro reúne a destacados empresarios, especialistas y hombres de negocios básicamente de Estados Unidos, Canadá y América Latina con el objetivo de formular propuestas para hacer frente a los principales desafíos de la gobernanza del nuevo orden económico mundial.

Además del expresidente Fernández, en el Foro participarán como ponentes el secretario general de la Organización de Estados Americanos (OEA), José Miguel Insulza; el gobernador del Estado de Florida, Rick Scott; el gobernador de Puerto Rico, Alejandro García Padilla, y el exprimer ministro de Pakistán, Shaukat Aziz.

Además, el presidente del Senado de Puerto Rico, Eduardo Bhatia; la presidenta del Condado de Palm Beach, Fabiola Brumley, y el exprimer ministro canadiense, Paul Martin, entre otras personalidades.

La Mesa de Acción recibe en audiencia al presidente del PNP
Wednesday April 9th, 2014 at 11:35 AM

7 de abril de 2014 – San Juan – El comité ejecutivo de la Mesa de Acción para la Competitividad y el Crecimiento de Puerto Rico concluyó hoy su ronda de audiencias con los partidos políticos para conocer sus propuestas acerca de los cuatro temas que evalúa: baja participación laboral, fuga de talento joven, envejecimiento de la población y economía subterránea.

La secretaria de la Gobernación y copresidenta de la Mesa, Ingrid M. Vila Biaggi, informó que el presidente del Partido Nuevo Progresista (PNP), Pedro Pierluisi, compareció hoy ante el comité ejecutivo para presentar sus recomendaciones en cuanto a los temas bajo discusión. El presidente de Puertorriqueños por Puerto Rico, Rogelio Figueroa; Rafael Bernabe del Partido del Pueblo Trabajador; y la presidenta del Movimiento Unión Soberanista, María de Lourdes Guzmán comparecieron ante este grupo el pasado 27 de marzo. Por su parte, el Partido Independentista Puertorriqueño respondió a la invitación a la audiencia con una carta firmada por su presidente ejecutivo, Fernando Martín, refiriendo a la Mesa de Acción a las propuestas que su organización política ha presentado ante el País a través de los años.

Vila Biaggi describió los encuentros con el liderato político como una experiencia enriquecedora. “Los partidos políticos son parte importante en el proceso de búsqueda de soluciones a los retos de país, como son todos los demás sectores de la sociedad. Hemos escuchado lo que tienen que aportar los líderes de estas colectividades y tomaremos en consideración todas las recomendaciones para nutrir el análisis de la Mesa de Acción que está próxima a emitir su informe”, indicó.

Al crear la Mesa de Acción, el gobernador Alejandro García Padilla le encomendó entregarle un informe con recomendaciones de medidas concretas y viables para atender los cuatro temas puntuales, que están muy ligados a la crisis socioeconómica que ha golpeado a Puerto Rico durante casi dos décadas. Algunas de esas propuestas formarán parte del plan de recuperación que presentará el gobernador durante su Mensaje de Estado.

Además de la secretaria de la Gobernación, componen el comité ejecutivo de la Mesa de Acción, el empresario y copresidente, Carlos López Lay; el secretario de Asuntos Públicos de La Fortaleza, Jorge Colberg; el dirigente sindical Roberto Pagán; el director del Instituto de Estadísticas de Puerto Rico, Mario Marazzi; la comunicadora Linda Hernández; el contador público autorizado Carlos Serrano; el académico José Jaime Rivera; y la sicóloga social comunitaria María de Lourdes Lara.

La Mesa de Acción está integrada, además, por el líder comunitario Jorge Oyola; el reverendo Esteban González; la educadora Ana Helvia Quintero; la académica Mareia Quintero; el especialista en asuntos de la población mayor, José Acarón; el joven Alejandro Silva; el sindicalista José Torres; la abogada María Dolores Fernós; la presidenta de la Asociación de Industriales, Waleska Rivera; la socióloga especialista en pobreza, Linda Colón; la sicóloga Carmen Albizu; el inversionista Cyril Meduña; el cooperativista Iván Otero; y el economista José Alameda.

Nominado jefe Policía de Puerto Rico resta importancia a demanda en su contra
Wednesday April 9th, 2014 at 11:20 AM

08 de abril de 2014 • 17:25

El nominado jefe de la Policía de Puerto Rico, José Luis Caldero López, restó hoy importancia a una demanda civil y administrativa presentada en 2009 en su contra en relación con el traslado de unos subordinados que le habían informado sobre un supuesto caso de corrupción en las fuerzas de seguridad.

Caldero López, coronel con más de tres décadas de experiencia en la Policía y que se convertirá en el nuevo superintendente si es confirmado por el Senado puertorriqueño, explicó este martes a Efe que la demanda fue archivada en su momento.

Añadió que se trató de un hecho sin mayor importancia y al que está expuesto cualquier oficial de la Policía.

El diario El Nuevo Día publicó este martes que Caldero López tiene pendiente una demanda civil y administrativa por ordenar el traslado en 2009 de unos oficiales que le habían informado de supuestos actos de corrupción por parte de un exteniente de la División de Arrestos Especiales.

El rotativo señaló que la demanda, que se presentó en el Tribunal de San Juan en abril de 2009, sostiene que Caldero López llevó a cabo un patrón de hostigamiento contra dos policías después de que le informaran sobre supuestas irregularidades por parte del exteniente Miguel Flores Vázquez.

El exteniente fue acusado en diciembre de 2008 por la Fiscalía federal por escoltar cargamentos de droga mientras ejercía como jefe de la División de Arrestos Especiales y fue condenado a 14 años de cárcel, según el diario de mayor tirada de la isla.

La demanda está pendiente de la Comisión Apelativa del Servicio Público, que se debe pronunciar sobre si los traslados de los policías se atuvieron a la normativa del cuerpo.

El Ejecutivo anunció el pasado viernes que Caldero López será el sustituto de James Tuller, apartado de su cargo después de que el gobernador de Puerto Rico, Alejandro García Padilla, solicitara al Senado la retirada de su nombramiento por no aportar suficiente información sobre sus declaraciones de ingresos antes de ratificarle en la jefatura policial.
