Chayanne: Eternally Beautiful

"My inner peace lies within the space I am in, there is nothing like our home.  For me it is a ritual to sit down to eat and just do nothing"

It is no secret that here in Pandora's Caja, Chayanne is #1.  If a perfect marriage ever existed with music, then to us, Chayanne and his music are "The One".   The forever and for always.

For many years, People en Espanol have given due appreciation to Chayanne's inner and outer beauty (both equally drool-inducing).  Chayanne has been featured in the list of the "Most Beautiful" 5 times; 1998, 2002, 2005, 2007 and 2009.  Perhaps the feature in their latest issue for May 2012, is an attempt to make amends for not including him in the latest "Most beautiful" Issue.... Hmmm...

Either way, it is obvious that Chayanne is an amazing person.  He is a talented actor, amazing singer, incredible performer, admirable philanthropist and a super hottie.  Below is what the feature says:

If you study the five photos  below of Chayanne posing for the Most Beautiful issues of People en Espanol, it is more than clear that time has not negatively changed his looks -- It has actually been a great ally throughout his successful career.  Today, the Puertorican singer of 43 years of age, continues to put his fans to dance with his 17th production, A Solas Con Chayanne (Sony Music Latin), available in DVD/CD/Blue-Ray.

With the upcoming GIGANT3S Tour I am sure there will be many more magazine features for Chayanne to come!

A Solas Con Chayanne - The Interview (Translated)

As the days grew closer and closer to the release of A Solas Con Chayanne, so did the anticipation and excitement that comes with enjoying one of his shows live.  And my friends, A Solas Con Chayanne does not disappoint.

You all know I devote a lot of time, love and care to see Chayanne at least once or twice while he is on tour (or 6... AHEM! But who is counting..?!).  And I do it because there is no greater feeling than that emotion you get right before the show starts.  When you are sitting in the first rows and you are frantically re-touching your makeup and making sure your hair is perfect... just in case he happens to look at you... And then there's that moment you forget your composure and start screaming like a crazy person (not caring what you may look like as you do so) simply because he is just there:  In front of you... looking at you with those heavenly eyes... singing to you... dancing with you.  [[Sighh!]] Oh what a feeling it is!  A Solas Con Chayanne gave us exactly what it promised; alone time with our idol and more!.

Watching the DVD however, I do have one regret:  Not flying down to Mexico to catch this show.  Did he really sing Completamente Enamorados?  Yes, yes he did and I almost fainted.  Completamente Enamorados was the first song I ever heard of Chayanne when I was 9 years old.  It holds a special place in my heart.

Be warned:  Watching A Solas Con Chayanne causes a sudden surge of ChayFever... Have your Chay-ibuprophen (or husband) handy!  LOL.

Without further ado, here is the translation to the 20 minute interview shown at the end of the show.  It breathes the pure essence that makes us love Chayanne more and more each day.  Enjoy!

Happy Valentines Day and Congratulations To Our Winners!!

First Place - Deborah Judith Gurfenkel "Vives En Mi"

Prize: "A Solas Con Chayanne" Blue Ray DVD and Two Disk CD/DVD

Second Place -  Liliana Torrico "Amor Por Siempre"

Prize: A Solas Con Chayanne Blue Ray DVD

To all of our Chayanne family, the ladies of Pandora's Caja would like to wish you Happy Valentine's Day, spend it with someone you love. 

To Chayanne......Once again, thank you for giving us all the best that you have. Some how, you have this magical way of making all of us feel special. Oh...by the way, the next time I see you, I have something I want to whisper into your ear *wink*

~Peace

@PandorasCaja "A Solas Con Chayanne" has arrived in Japan! I get it!! and,I have seen them already. I was very impressed!!

We knew that "A Solas Con Chayanne" was being released on Amazon, but at 12 am, when it officially became February 7, it also became available on iTunes for download. Long time Chayanne fan and a very dear friend of mine, Chay_Rosa, was the first to post up a review on iTunes.

If you haven't pre-ordered your copy of "A Solas Con Chayanne", you can now order it from Amazon.com and have it shipped to you over night. You can also download both the CD and the Concert Film from iTunes right now!

Please enjoy the pictures below! Lady of the box Fantasia Chayanne is quick with a pic and we thank her for that!

So whether you're waiting on the mail, or for a download, you know you're going to get it, and Chayanne never fails to please.

What a nice backside.....to the CD cover *WINK*

Alone With Chayanne.....What comes to your mind?

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
