San Antonio's Rick Orozco wrote one of the original songs for this CD. "Let's Not Look Away" stresses society's responsibility to help the downtrodden. The Spanish-language counter part, "Tenemos Que Abrir Los Ojos (We Must Open Our Eyes"" was written by Humberto Ramón of Laredo which is culturally sensitive to building awareness. Tejano award-winning and Grammy nominated producers: Joel Guzman, Michael Morales, and Gilbert Velasquez rose to the occasion. "Canta a la Vida" is the brainchild of executive producer Arjon Tabatabai, long time entertainment executive in the San Antonio business community. Co-executive producer and project coordinator Rubén Cubillos said Tejano stars can educate their fans through music. "Music is a universal language with which messages can be identified; this project shows that we can give of ourselves for our fellow man." All proceeds for the CD will benefit the AIDS foundation's hospice and education programs. CD's may be purchased at the Arjon's International Club for $15. |

Words cannot express my gratitude to all those who gathered to share from the heart. To give of yourselves to this humanitarian event only strengthens my resolve that we can make a difference when called to do our part. My thanks to the record labels for coming to our aid. To Jerre Hall for taking special interest from the beginning and sharing your wealth of knowledge on the mechanics of the record business. To Manolo Gonzalez for helping build the bridge of communication from his hospital bed. Get well soon! To Ruben Cubillos for taking command in piecing the puzzle together on all levels. Your integrity, your courage, and your spirit are enough to make me proud to be your friend--always. The extra mile you've contributed will transform into many avenues of opportunity for all of us. To Joel, Gilbert and Michael: It has been amazing seeing you work your magic. Feeling your energy in the studio was a moment to remember. To Curt Slangal: You have been an inspiration in making the right decisions for the foundation. Your strength is appreciated. To Quito: Your contributions and your hard work have made us focus on the real purpose on which this project was founded--compassion. Our prayers are with you.

To the media sponsors: You've brought awareness to our community at a time when we must be challenged and given courage.
