Latino music celebration

You don't have to be Latino to appreciate the Latino infectious musical evening - just one more of the special gifts President Obama's administration has granted us. Jose Feliciano's artistry was inspiring.

Que viva la raza

What a fabulous show! My most admiration and gratitude to El Presidente. Sharing and learning and embracing other cultures is what this world should be about. As a Latina, I am extremely proud of my heritage. Several of my non-latino collegueas expressed how they learned about different rythms and how those influence in different places in latin america.

Fiesta Latina Concert

I am writing to comment on the Fiesta Latina Concert held at the White House. I didn't catch the concert on the day that it was originally broadcasted, but I did catch a rerun of it on today and all I can say is, "Wow!" I am not Latino, but I love
Latin music and each of the artists were just wonderful! On behalf of the African American community to the Latino community, we celebrate you and your wonderful Latin Heritage!

What a night!!...feeling proud of my heritage and proud of all those who perform. I am a fan of all and George Lopez you are my favorite comic of all times. What brought tear to my eyes was seeing Sonia Sotomayor, my respect and admiration to her. Thank you PBS for sharing such a wonder night

The show was incredible and so inspiring! All the artists are truly dedicated to their music. Next time I would love to hear some norteno or corridos. The music I grew up listening in our house. Viva los Estados Unidos y todos los latinos!

Jose Feliciano and all others

Great to see this great event ans show at White House for Latins, with latin stars, and thank you to all to do it
But Also I want to thank for give us the possibility to see the great Jose Feliciano, He's not only a latin star how many thinking in music business today, He's one of the most incredible artist, guitarist, singer of our "music world", he has changed for first from ever the distance from the latin music to the american pop-rock music, so I think He deserve to be inducted at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame from all, latin and american music: I see now he so underated respect how he deserve, hope they changed forever their opinion and give him again the possibility to fly again with a world hit around the world how was his "Light My Fire" and all english album of that time.

Fiesta Latina

I had a great time last night watching the show. I let the kids stay up late and we danced in front of the TV. What an awesome experience for them to watch. The back drop of the White House was breath taking and really demonstrated that our music is a beautiful and amazing part of the American experience. Thank you Mr. President for highlighting our contributions and talents!!
