A Love Letter From Chayanne~

The Twibe is ALWAYS happy when Chayanne sends us a little 140 character tweet (which is never enough to say what you want to say, thank goodness for TwitLonger) But I have to tell you, personally, this is one tweet that I wish Chayanne had not had to write....the first time that I read it, I had to use Google translate, which is ok for simple things, but I knew that I was missing the nuances of what Chayanne was really trying to say. So...of course I was able to call upon one of my lovely Chay sisters to translate this tweet for me.

When I read it again, it just about brought me to tears. It hurt me because Chayanne apparently read all the stupidity that people were writing about the show that he had to cut short in Ferro. I may not have been a Chayanne fan as long as many, many of the fans have been, but it really doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that this is a man who truly cares about his fans....

Tonight I read the message again...this time I looked at it as more of a love letter. Chayanne makes it very clear that he was writing this himself, which I'm sure took alot of time because you can tell that there was thought, and care that was put into these words.

What do I want people to take away from this...as I have said before Chayanne (Elmer) is wonderful, beautiful human being. The key here is human..he thinks, he feels, he lives, he loves, he laughs...and unfortunately...he hurts. 

Chayanne~ You may never ever read this blog, and that's alright because I don't write it for notoriety...I do it because I felt that this was the best way that I could try and give back just a tiny bit of what you give to me. I understand that you are human and that some times that very thing can get in the way of all that we want to do. As the saying goes, "The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."  My main concern is that you hare happy and healthy, and I know that I'm not alone in that sentiment. Thank you for your beautiful words and thank you for loving us enough to share them with us

~Peace

Press Release

Normally, press releases are written by those who specialize in it, but today we will make an exception (and forgive me if I don’t do it well), but I will write it, Chayanne.

I know that many of the people who attended my first concert, did not leave as satisfied as expected.  I have been attentive to the comments regarding the organization, the audio, the security…explanations are being given when in reality no one knows what really happened, so I will share something with you.

The life of an artist has more responsibilities than you can imagine and a tour, of course, imposes many more to-dos and responsibilities.  On one hand, by the time you arrive at a concert and see the stage full of lights and equipment, some 100 other people have passed through it, working long hours during the day to ensure that everything will go well for your enjoyment, and this is done every day, in different cities of different countries and it’s been that way since the tour started in February.

On the other hand, there’s me, Chayanne, who always wants the public to enjoy my show and go home happy, but I am human and for this reason just as vulnerable as everyone else.  Likewise, no one needs to know when an artist, athlete, dancer or lawyer feels sick because even then they must fulfill their responsibilities.  I have been traveling from one country to the other for many months and although the necessary precautions are taken to ensure one’s well being, sometimes the body plays a trick on us and even if I pour my soul into the show, something just isn’t working and you (as the audience) can perceive it right away.

I wanted to share with you this page from my diary, my day by day… I needed to.  I reiterate to you my love and respect because without you, we (the artists) wouldn’t exist. Chayanne.

Comunicado de Prensa

Normalmente todos los comunicados o notas de prensa son escritos por alguien que se especializa en eso, hoy vamos a hacer una excepción y discúlpenme si no lo hago bien, pero escribo yo, Chayanne.

Se que muchas de las personas que asistieron a mi primer concierto, no salieron complacidas como era de esperar. He estado pendiente de los comentarios que hablan de la organización, del audio, de la seguridad; se trata de dar explicaciones cuando no se sabe bien que pasó en realidad, yo les voy a compartir algo.

La vida de un artista tiene más responsabilidades de las que ustedes se pueden imaginar y una gira, por supuesto, implica muchas más tareas y responsabilidades. Por una parte, cuando ustedes llegan al concierto y ven un escenario lleno de luces y equipos, ya unas 100 personas han pasado por allí a trabajar largas horas y días para estar seguros de que todo sale bien para ustedes; y eso se repite todos los días, en diferentes ciudades de diferentes países y así desde que empezó la gira en Febrero.

Por otra parte, estoy yo Chayanne que siempre quiero que el público disfrute de mi show y se vaya a casa feliz, pero soy humano y por lo tanto vulnerable, como todos. Además, nadie tiene que saber cuando un músico, deportista, bailarín o abogado se siente enfermo pero aún así tiene que cumplir con su compromiso. Yo llevo ya muchos meses viajando de un país a otro y aunque se toman las medidas para estar bien a veces el cuerpo nos hace una jugada y aunque ponga el alma en el show hay algo que no funciona y ustedes lo perciben en seguida.

Quise compartir con ustedes ésta página de mi diario, mi día a día, necesitaba hacerlo les reitero mi cariño y respeto, porque sin ustedes no existimos los artistas. Chayanne
