Mexico City Sees Its First Gay Civil Unions
When two middle-aged men tied the knot on March 16, they became the first legally recognised gay couple in Mexico City, the capital of the worlds second largest Catholic country.
When Mexican gays unite
Journalist Antonio Medina, 38, and economist Jorge Cerpa, 31, registered for homosexual partnership soon after the citys new law permitting gay civil unions took effect, according to the Associated Press.
The Mexicans were united in front of government buildings, kissing under a flag that read "Civil Union Law: Your right to choose" while a band played "Besame Mucho".
"With this law, a history of exclusion comes to an end," Medina told the AP. "Today, the love that before did not dare say its name has now entered the public spotlight.
Last November, Mexico City passed a bill to allow gays and lesbians to form a partnership protecting property, pension and inheritance rights. But it stops short of granting all the legal statues and rights of marriage.
Campaigners had promoted same-sex civil unions for 7 years before the municipal assembly recognized gay couples legal statues, the BBC reported.
"It is simply fantastic," said Julio Roman, a gay rights campaigner in Mexico City. "It is more than symbolic. It is the result of years of fighting for our basic rights."
Long road ahead
But not everyone is happy. Church officials and Christians reportedly took it to the streets to voice their objections.
"It is simply not the will of God to have acts of homosexuality," Armando Martinez Gomez, president of the Association of Catholic Lawyers, told BBC News.
"We are not against gay people," he noted. "But we believe in a union between a man and a woman for the creation of children."
Church officials have also called the new policy "Hitleria" and the citys politicians faithless, Reuters said.
Mexico City is not the first to take more liberal attitudes toward homosexuals in Latin America. Argentina's capital Buenos Aires, Mexicos northern state of Coahuila and Brazils southern state of Rio Grande do Sul all have legalised same-sex unions.
But the public still remains intolerant of gay couples agitating for legal rights in Mexico, where some 90 percent of its 107 million people are Catholics.
Only 28 per cent of adults support laws that would grant homosexual partners to legal statues and some benefits and rights, according to a poll by Parametra.
In 2005, every two days in Latin America a gay was killed because of his sexuality, reported the Belgium-based NGO International Lesbian and Gay Association.
Countries like Brazil and Mexico have the highest levels of hate crimes, because homosexual people become easy targets when coming out of the closet, said the Economist.

dj latin musicMerengue in New Zealand
Origin:
Merengue originated in the Dominican Republic. It is the national dance of the Dominican. There are a few stories describing how the dance originated. The most common one is that of the slaves who were chained together and had to move by dragging one foot at a time. Merengue as a two beat music and since the footwork is quite similar to walking, it is a very easy dance to learn.
Music:
Merengue is played in 2/4. The double sided drum is played on one side with a stick with a strong syncopation to mark the beats. Saxophones and guitars are also very popular instruments found in the music.
Dance:
Merengue footwork is extremely easy to learn as it's a simple two beat movement ("left, right") with the body weight being moved between the legs. The upper body stays fairly straight while the hips move with the weight change. The Merengue frame is much smaller (closer) in comparison to Salsa. Having said that, Merengue is often led with a single (right) hand on the back. But in open hold, arms are often completely extended out instead of maintaining a closer L-shaped frame.
Latinos NZ Popularity Scale: 8.5/10
Meregue is a very popular Latin American Dance in New Zealand, second only to Salsa. On an average night out in a Latin Club, as many as every second or third song can be Merengue.

Laila Ali - From Ring to Dance Floor
Laila Ali's inspiring career as a boxer, following in her famous father's footsteps, has only been enhanced by her life and accomplishments outside of the ring.
Laila Ali was born December 30, 1977 to former Heavyweight Champion of the World Muhammed Ali and his third wife, Veronica Porsche Anderson. She is currently the women's boxing Triple Crown Super Middleweight Champion as well as a contestant on ABC's popular Dancing with the Stars.
Ali earned a degree in Business Management at Santa Monica College and then went on to own and operate a successful nail salon in California. She had planned to attend the University of Southern California Business School, but after watching women's boxing on television for the first time, she decided to become a boxer. Approximately a year later, Ali sold her business and started training to become a professional fighter.
Ali made her professional boxing debut on October 8, 1999, at the age of 21. She insisted that the press not record videos of this fight. Her opponent, April Fowler, was a 0-1 fighter who worked as a waitress. 31 seconds into the 1st round, she knocked out her opponent, April Fowler. After Ali's pro debut, she told reporters that she had made her father proud, and that she would knock out every one of her opponents and that it was a promise.
Born: December 30, 1977
Died: --
Famous For: Undefeated World Boxing Champion; Daughter of former Heavyweight Champion of the World Muhammed Ali; named one of People Magazine's Most 100 Beautiful People of 2007.
Key Accomplishments: Earned a degree in Business Management from Santa Monica College; Undefeated World Boxing Champion, Author; Model.
Significant Quote: "There's so many other things that I'm talented at, so many things that I could be doing, that I wouldn't be boxing if it wasn't what I loved to do."
Fun Quote: "I didn't even know that women boxed. And then when I saw it for the first time I wanted to do it."
Ali went on to win her next 8 fights by knockout, and in October of 2000, she beat the then-reigning champion Kendra Lendhart. She won 3 more belts in 2002. On August 17, 2002, she became the new IBA super middleweight champion after defeating Suzy Taylor in the second round. Then, on November 8, 2002, she won the WIBA and the IWBF supper middleweight titles after her opponent, Valerie Mahfood, forced the referee to stop the action at 1:14 of round eight. Next, she had to beat Christy Martin, who was considered the best female fighter in the sport. On August 23rd, 2003, Ali knocked Martin down for the first time in 50 professional bouts, and stopped her in the fourth round.
In her last fight, on February 3rd, 2006, Ali knocked out her opponent, Gwendolyn O'Neal, in just 56 seconds. The bout, which was held in Johannesburg, South Africa, was attended by Nelson Mandela. Ali had the opportunity to meet him prior to the fight.
On February 20, 2007, ABC announced that Ali would participate in the fourth season of Dancing with the Stars. Her partner is Maksim Chmerkivskiy, and together they received the first 10 from judge Len Goodman for their rumba.
Ali also wrote a motivational book, which is called Reach!. She wrote the book to help inspire other young women. In it, she uses her own experiences and challenges as examples for her readers. She also loves to cook, enjoys Pilates, and has done some modeling, including appearances in Sports Illustrated, People, Ebony, Glamour, Vogue, Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire, Essence, ESPN the Magazine, and Time. Ali is currently engaged to former pro football player Curtis Conway. They plan to wed in July, 2007.

best salsa musicCan You Become a Boogie-Man or Boogie-Lady?
Boogie music, also known as boogie woogie, is a genre of piano-heavy music particular to America in the 1930's and 1940's and 1950's. It's characteristic walking bass is familiar to many as a harkening back to rock and roll, even though the form is based strongly on the blues (in fact, it's often been called an upbeat version of the blues).
Boogie originally started as a strictly piano form; the most familiar versions are still based solely around the instrument. The precise origin of boogie-woogie piano however is uncertain; it was no doubt influenced by early rough music played in the roadhouses and honky tonks in New Orleans and Kansas City and other cities and towns in the south.
A couple early boogie-men were W.C. Handy and Jelly Roll Morton, and as it grew in popularity many other pianists adopted the style. But as boogie became more and more popular, so too did the idea of including a whole band. Before long, the once solo genre adapted itself to accommodate an entire band. The latest versions of boogie often include guitar and other instruments, but the piano and drums remain the focal point. Even years later you can hear the influence of boogie in the music of Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis, Johnny Cash, and many others.
Many boogies (but not all) are based on the familiar 12-bar blues, which is a series of chord progressions using just the I, IV, and V chords:
Typical 12-bar blues:
4 bars of the I chord
2 bars of the IV chord
2 bars of the I chord
2 bars of the V chord
2 bars of the I chord
then rinse and repeat
Here is a typical left hand boogie pattern in the key of C that can be played either as single notes or octaves or offset broken octaves:
C - E - G - A - Bb - A - G - E
C - E - G - A - Bb - A - G - E
F - A - C - D - Eb - D - C - A
C - E - G - A - Bb - A - G - D
G - B - D - E - F - E - D - B
C - E - G - A - Bb - A - G - E
Boogie is often credited as the originator of rock and roll, but that idea isn't necessarily valid. While boogie definitely played some role in rock and roll's early days, it was really rhythm and blues that started the form. Boogie, on the other hand, remained an off-shoot of blues and an entity in its own right. It also may have indirectly spawned a dance of the same name, a dance that led largely to boogie being credited as rock and roll's most dominant predecessor.
The boogie dance, an upbeat and energetic social dance with small roots in swing, was danced mostly to rock and roll. It spread through teenage social circles like wildfire and became almost synonymous with rock and roll. As boogie (the dance) continued to grow through the 50s, boogie (the music) began to disappear from the limelight. And as it grew further and further from the mainstream, boogie's captivating hold on audiences became understood as a product of the dance, not the music. The way in which the two forms of boogie were interchanged often led to confusion about where and when the form originated and how it related to the dance and the inception of rock and roll.
In any case, boogie is here to stay. It's fun to play and fun to listen to.
