Iglesias in India
(AP) — Mexican audiences cringe in
watching '"The Alamo,” which depicts
this country’s most reviled traitor, one of
its most humiliating defeats and events
that ultimately cost Mexico half its terri­
tory.
There is scant comfort in the fact that
Mexican forces won the 1836 battle of the
Alamo: The movie closes with the Battle of
San Jacintoone month later, which Mexico
lost - along with Texas. Within a dozen
years, Mexico went on to lose most of
what later became California, Colorado,
New Mexico, Utah, Nevada and Arizona.
An audience at the Mexico City pre­
miere Wednesday gasped at the final
scenes of the Mexican army defeat at the
hands of Texans - "in 18 minutes,” accord­
ing to the film.
(AP) - King of Latino music,
Enrique Iglesias brought his Latin
rhythm to Bombay, India earlier
this month in a rare concert.
Pop singer Enrique Iglesias ar­
rived in India’s entertainment
capital to promote his latest al­
bum “Seven," as thousands of
fans lined up for last minute tick­
ets ahead of Sunday’s concert.
"This is my first trip to India.
There are some warm and friendly
people here,” Iglesias told report­
ers after arriving in Bombay.
Rael Fernandes, a 20-year-old
Indian fan, said: "He is the king of
Latino music.”
"H e is not only a fantastic
singer, but a great d a n c e r,”
