A Solas Con Chayanne (Alone with Chayanne)…is a phrase that makes me think of so many wonderful things. But the first thing that comes to my mind is love and romance. Chayanne is giving us a very special gift for Valentine's day as he releases his DVD and CD, A Solas Con Chayanne, which will be available on February 7th.
We all know that Chayanne is a synonym of romance. All of his songs tell a tale of that burning love, the one that was, the one that could have been, a pure love, and one that makes us scream with passion and happiness. It's so very difficult to choose one favorite song from Chayanne's infinite collection because each and every one of them drives us absolutely insane. The combination of the melody, his voice, the lyrics, and who can forget the way he adds his very own seal of seduction as he dances and moves his body with total perfection!
Chayanne's music provokes happiness, love, illusion, endearment, intrigue, magic and every single thing related to love. In his songs we find refuge and seek that dosage of inspiration that makes our days unforgettable. During rainy days, Chayanne lifts our spirits and at the same time gets us in a very romantic mood. During the hot days of summer his music energizes us and we celebrate one beautiful season full of sun, the ocean, and total hotness. And in the dead of winter there is absolutely nothing better than snuggling in front of a warm fireplace listening to Chayanne's music as we helplessly float on a cloud of love and seduction. And when our worlds seem to spin out of control and we just can't take it anymore, Chayanne's music gives us the gift of calm, harmony and we know deep in our hearts that everything is going to be just fine.
Here at Pandora's Caja we are having a Chayanne inspired Valentine's poetry contest which starts on January 23rd and ends on February 5th. I invite you to sit back, reminisce and think about how Chayanne's music has touched your life. Maybe it has helped you when you have been down in the dumps, or it has given you energy, or it has simply touched you in a special way. It really doesn't matter in which way Chayanne's music inspires you, what matters is that it does and you can put those sentiments in writing and participate in this special contest. You have nothing to loose because the first place winner will receive the DVD and CD, A Solas Con Chayanne (Alone with Chayanne), second place will receive the DVD and third place will receive the CD. And even if you are not one of the three winners, you are still a winner in Chayanne's heart because his music has inspired you beyond belief and that is the best gift a true fan can ever wish for.
I leave you with these words, get inspired my friends, let Chayanne take care of your soul, feel your hearts beat to the "Boom Boom” of his music, let him provoke you, feel as if you are tied to his love, leave everything behind for him, and remember you cannot live a century without your pirate.
And I will keep dreaming of a beautiful night on the beach with a full moon where Chayanne sings "Candela" in my ear! Dreaming doesn't cost anything, right girls?
Peace & Love ;-) Candela
Then in May we feasted our eyes and watched the premier of one the videos from this new album that promised to be fun, sexy, and very sensual. Tu Boca was filled with Latin flavor and showed off Chayanne’s amazing dancing abilities. Accompanied by two beautiful dancers, Ferly and Victoria, this video left us wanting more, more dancing, more rhythm, more songs, more Chayanne. And just when we thought we couldn’t take it anymore the “No Hay Imposibles Tour” dates were announced and the show hit the road on May 13, 2010 in Los Angeles. This amazing tour began full of energy, fireworks, and amazing music and dancing. 
So, I purchased my front row ticket for the June 24th show at Madison Square Garden. I was counting the days and could not wait to finally see Chayanne perform all the new songs that I already knew by heart. The day finally came and me and my three friends headed from New Jersey to New York City to be swept off our feet by the one and only “Chayanne”. Since this concert took place 4 days before his birthday, I made him a beautiful “Happy Birthday” banner which by the way he loved! It was an incredible night and I just could not believe my eyes when I saw this perfect man a couple of feet away from me doing what he does best….singing and dancing and leaving his heart and soul on stage. I was so close that in many occasions we felt his sweat sprinkle us, and of course we did not mind…are you kidding? I know that I won’t be the first in saying this, but Chayanne has a way of connecting with each and every one of his fans. He takes the time to look at his fans in the eyes and for that mere second you forget where you are, and all that matters is that connection that you have made with this amazing soul – words cannot describe this incredible feeling – you must experience it for yourself.
The day arrived and again my same good friends came with me to Atlantic City, but this time they would stay behind as I went back stage to meet our knight in shining armor. We received bracelets, had to make a line, and then it happened we all walked backstage and into this tiny room where Chayanne was waiting for us. They had us go in two by two and needless to say I was so anxious that I ended up being one of the first two people to go in. I watched the girl that went before him as she hugged and and kissed him and before I could blink it was my turn. I could play this moment in my mind in slow motion over and over and I swear to you that to this date I don’t really remember everything that I said to him.
And here we are, NHI is over and we are left with many different emotions. Some fans feel sad and will miss hearing about his performances, looking at the pictures and videos online. And others, including myself, feel very happy because he has finished strong and he gave his all in each and every performance. He made every one of his fans smile, even those who didn’t go to his concerts. We all have our very special memory, and memories are a way of holding onto things that we love, the things that make us who we are, the things we never want to lose or forget. Now we must look forward to the many wonderful things to come. And knowing Chayanne, he will be back at work in no time and before we know it we will be listening to his new album and waiting to hear when his next tour begins and when he will be coming to visit our town again. To my fellow Chayanne fans please remember that memories may fade away as the years go by, but they won’t age a day, so keep your memories alive and they will keep you young. And to you my beloved Chayanne, I must tell you that you taught me how to imagine, how to dream, and how to put my plan into action. Thank you for leaving me with wonderful memories and with your footprints on my heart. No Hay Imposibles and below is my proof!
The next question was “How many seagulls and torches have you received throughout the years at Viña del Mar? Chayanne didn’t know the exact number off the top of his head, but there have been many over the years and he keeps some at home and some in his office. He has a special place for each one of them and he holds them very close to his heart because they come from the people and he will never take this honor for granted.
