We have seen her pee her pants on-stage and bang out a long list of hit singles, but is Fergie caliente enough to be called Latina? Latina Magazine was wondering the same question, and recently stepped to The Duchess about her identity and ethnic roots.
Fergie responded,
“Yes, I have Mexican in my ancestry. My Dad’s grandmother was born in Guanajuato. I’m very proud of it; that’s probably where I get my fire! I’m mostly Scottish-Irish, though.”
“My heritage is a complete mixture that includes Irish, Scottish and Mexican strains, and I don’t feel tied to any one culture.”
A little suspect? Some might say that Fergie is simply trying to appeal to the Latin consumer demographic, while others embrace her diverse background and still deem her Latina. I dont know why she would lie she gets mad love from the latin community. Hey man its all one world anyway.

Canadian pop superstar Celine Dion performed on the Chinese mainland for the first time, with a concert at the 50,000-seat Shanghai Stadium Friday evening.
Though the Beijing concert had been canceled, the Shanghai performance was confirmed to be a big success.
A leather suit accompanied the slim diva during the 90-minute concert to protect her just-recovered voice in this early spring weather.
The star opened the show with “Drove all night”, “Power of love”, “Because you love me”, which sounded familiar to the Chinese audience.
She also selected a song “My Love” from her latest album, “Taking Chances,” which was released last November.
And the following French songs and rock songs made the concert-goers more excited.
Finally, Dion performed two famous songs of English rock band Queen, “We will rock you”, “Show must go on” and concluded the show with one of her best-known songs, “My Heart Will Go On,” from the 1997 blockbuster film “Titanic”.
The Shanghai concert is part of the artist’s “Taking Chances” world tour. Dubbed as “the best selling female artist in the world,” Dion has sold more than 200 million albums worldwide, according to figures released by her record company Sony BMG.
Born to a large impoverished family in Quebec, Dion, the youngest of 14 children, first gained international recognition in the 1980s after she won the 1982 Yamaha World Popular Song Festival and the 1988 Eurovision Song Contest.
Dion achieved worldwide success with the release of several English and French albums.
At the height of her success in 1999, Dion announced a temporary withdrawal from entertainment in order to start a family and enjoy life. Her music has been influenced by genres ranging from pop, soul, and rock to classical and gospel.
She is also one of the best known Western pop singers in China. In 1999, she held a sold-out concert at the old Kai Tak airport runway in Hong Kong.

In the fall of 2006, a headline in the Christian Science Monitor quizzically exclaimed, “Latin music’s new star is … Czech?” Indeed she is, and it takes a map of the world to fully trace Marta Töpferová’s background and rise as a Czech-American diva of Spanish song. Born in Ostrava, she started singing at the age of 8 with a children’s chorus in Prague. When her family moved to the United States in 1987, Töpferová took with her a love of Latin music that she had picked up from records given to her parents by Chilean friends. Töpferová sang and toured with the Seattle Girls’ Choir for four years before devoting herself to a full-time music career, exploring Latin music while attending Bard College and then moving to Spain, where she took up guitar. In 1996, she settled in New York City, where she immersed herself in the Latin music scene, particularly in the Venezuelan and Colombian communities. Eventually, Töpferová traded her guitar for a cuatro, a four-stringed Venezuelan instrument, and developed a style that blends influences ranging from Argentine poets to Venezuelan vocal styles to Moravian folk music. This confluence of New and Old World melodic sensibilities, which shares the eerie beauty heard in early bossa nova, is well-suited to what The New York Times has described as the “elegant longing in her voice.” Now an established presence on the world music scene, Töpferová is touring the Czech Republic and Slovakia this month, including a stop at Palác Akropolis in Prague Friday. Before leaving the United States, she took time to answer some questions about her journey from Ostrava to the poetic heart of Latin American song. The Prague Post: How did moving to the United States affect your musical development? Marta Töpferová: I left my country with the grim possibility that I might never be able to go back, and was forced to begin a new life in America. I gravitated toward immigrants a great deal, especially during my formative years between 12 and 18. I felt a very strong connection with my Latin American friends, the language and the music, so my Spanish-related interests became a sort of second home for me. Hence, my immigration to the United States has very much to do with my involvement in Latin American music, as well as my longing to reconnect with Czech music and make those influences a part of my art as well. TPP: What similarities, musical or otherwise, have you found in the Hispanic Americas that resonate with your homeland? MT: I find that there are similar themes in the lyrics of Czech and Latin American folk music — many images of nature and landscapes. You can feel that the music is tied to the land and its history. What I’m particularly fond of in the lyrics of both Czech and Latin American folk songs is that one can hear a certain longing and human struggle in the music. People who are not very familiar with Latin American music tend to think of upbeat salsa, merengue or mariachis. But there is so much more to discover. TPP: Was there a particular event or moment in time when you knew that you were on a viable path with your journey into Hispanic music? MT: I guess singing with [New York-based Colombian singer] Lucia Pulido was one of the biggest steppingstones for me. I joined her group in 1997, and we sang together for five years. To this day, I think she is the strongest and most authentic singer of our generation on the scene. She could have chosen to sing with a Latin American singer, so the fact that we collaborated for as long as we did really meant something. TPP: Are there specific genres of Latin American music that your work falls into? MT: It’s hard to say; even in Latin America, it would be difficult to place my music in one genre. Certain songs could fall into “folklore Argentino,” others more into modern Venezuelan folk music. Perhaps the best genre would be Nueva Cancion (New Song), which is a movement consisting of singers and songwriters from the ’70s till now. TPP: Do you compose primarily on the cuatro? MT: I started composing accompanying myself on the guitar. Then, when I started playing cuatro almost seven years ago, most of my songs were composed with that instrument. But now I’m coming back to writing with the guitar again. TPP: Can you tell us about the ensemble you’re playing with on your current tour? MT: This is the first time I have Czech band members playing my music. Actually, Tomáš Liška got it all started. He wrote me an e-mail about a year ago offering his collaboration. I saw that he’s a very active bass player on the Prague scene, so I planned a session with him, and asked him to invite a soloist as well. Tomáš suggested woodwinds player Marcel Bárta. We got together in December 2007 and the session went great! Both Tomáš and Marcel are incredibly talented, skilled and sensitive musicians. I knew within the first couple songs we played that we would make a nice group. I’m also bringing one of my colleagues from New York. Neil Ochoa is a Venezuelan percussionist I’ve worked with for over five years now. He’s recorded on two of my albums. He is very versatile and knows a great deal about South American rhythms. And Jiří Stivín will be joining us in Trutnov and Prague. We met in Prague through my father. Jiří had seen me play my music on Czech TV, and really liked it. From what I know of his work, his musical range and knowledge are very wide, so it will be a treat to have him join us. TPP: Will you be premiering any new works, or have any special surprises for concertgoers in Prague? MT: The most recent development is that I will be accompanying myself on guitar for several songs. Up until now, I only performed with the cuatro, so this adds another color to the group. I also plan to include a few of my favorite songs from Latin America, such as “Eclipse,” “Soy pan, soy paz, soy mas” and “Entre a mi pago sin golpear,” among others. I will be performing mostly original compositions in Spanish. But I also plan to sing two or three Czech folk songs.

Singer MARIAH CAREY
has refuted claims her new album E=MC2’s hip-hop theme is a departure from her usual sound.
The star – who duetted with Irish crooners Westlife on a 2000 cover of Phil Collins ballad Against All Odds – insists she’s always been in touch with her hip-hop side after former Wu Tang Clan rapper Ol’ Dirty Bastard guested on one of her tracks.
She says, “Aargh! It gets so annoying when people make out I have gone all hip-hop just to get in on a trend. I sang with Ol’ Dirty Bastard, may he rest in peace, back in 1996 for the remixed version of Fantasy.”
Carey admits she greatly enjoyed working with the late star, who died in 2004 of heart failure: “I love him and I miss him. Working with him was a highlight for me.”
