Newcomer to the urban scene Mexia, who you may recognize from the recent MTV Tr3s Descubre & Download promotion, was criminally assaulted last week after celebrating su cumpleaños is San Jose, CA. A group of unidentified people were responsible for the random attack on el artista Mexicano, which resulted in visible wounds and minor fractures to his face. Qué horror!!!
A consecuencia del ataque, Mexia had to cancel his upcoming promotional trip to Miami, FL, where he was set to appear on various TV shows to support his debut album, 'Past Present Future.' El cantante, whose padre is none other than legendary Los Tigres Del Norte performer Hernán Hernández, has said he is on the mend, but will not be able to fully recover until mid-November. In a press release today, he thanked his fans for their support.
"Only a nation of millions can hold me back."
We wish Mexia a quick recovery!!

And so should you! Current Descubre & Download artist Ximena Sariñana, whose unique style of jazzy pop has been garnering her mucha atención in the music scene, was in Nueva York recently and MTV Tr3s got to pick her brain about su música and what it means to be Latina. Check out what the 22-year-old Mexicana actriz/songstress had to say about it here:
Her time spent with MTV Tr3s left such a lasting impression on her that she blogged about it on her myspace page:
Anduve en NY la semana pasada haciendo un programa llamado Descubre y Download para MTVTres..que para los que no vivan en USA es el canal de MTV para la comunidad latina de USA..y me puso a reflexionar muchisimo sobre que es para mi ser latina,,,y despues de mucha discusion una amiga y yo determinamos que ser latino no se puede encasillar una cosa y que ser latino es todo...es cultura, musica, telenovelas, cariño, familia, comida, ritmo....mil cosas....y que a su vez es nada....somos ya ciudadanos del mundo...no se........
We couldn't have said it better ourselves! The food and the telenovelas - definately the staples of our cultura. Qué piensas? Why do you love being Latino?
