LATIN GRAMMY NOMINATION and
TOUR with LATIN SUPERSTARS JUAN GABRIEL and ANA GABRIEL BURBANK,
CA (July 7, 2000) — On the heels of receiving her nomination for the 1st Annual Latin GRAMMY Awards,
Hollywood Records recording artist Nydia
Rojas will embark on a U.S. tour this fall with Latin superstars Juan Gabriel and Ana Gabriel. The
only female artist in her Latin GRAMMY Award category, Nydia received the
nomination for Best Ranchero Performance
for her Hollywood Records album Si
Me Conocieras. Nydia has been
praised by USA Today as a “mariachi
sensation” and as “the best female ranchera singer in the United States”
by Ramiro Burr (editor, Billboard’s Guide
to Tejano and Regional Mexican Music). Recorded in Mexico City with Mexico's finest
mariachi musicians, Si Me Conocieras was produced by Carlos Cabral
"Junior," acclaimed for his work with Ana Gabriel, Ana Bárbara, Marco
Antonio Solis and Los Temerarios. For Si
Me Conocieras, Cabral drew on the talents of the field's top arrangers,
including Rigoberto Alfaro (Alejandro Fernandez, Vicente Fernandez), Javier
Carrillo (Pepe Aguilar) and Manuel Cazares (Juan Gabriel). For
Nydia, taking her music on the road with Juan Gabriel and Ana Gabriel brings
her musical journey full circle: “To
share the stage with two of my greatest idols who have inspired me, my music
and my live performances is a dream come true,” comments Nydia. Juan Gabriel was recently honored by Billboard magazine for sales exceeding
50 million units worldwide and for being one of the Latin industry’s leading
performers who has consistently sold out concerts over his impressive 30-year
career. The U.S. tour dates are as
