Durante su presentación
especial en la conferencia nacional de la mujer hispana el viernes
16 de septiembre, 2005 en la ciudad de Phoenix, AZ, Diana Mera ofreció
un tributo a la reina de la salsa Celia Cruz, cantando los éxitos
Quimbara y Toromata. La potencia de su voz, talento y carisma impresionaron
a la periodista y presentadora del Show de Cristina, Cristina Saralegui,
que fue la invitada de honor
de la conferencia y fue galardonada con el premio anual a la excelencia
de la mujer hispana. Mientras Diana cantaba, Cristina bailaba y
aplaudía efusivamente desde su asiento, en un momento le
dio la mano a la cantante y le dijo que “era buenísima”
con su
famoso gesto del dedo pulgar. Fue una presentación muy emocionante
y llena de energía, cabe mencionar que es la primera vez
en 20 años que la corporación de la mujer hispana
ofrece un espectáculo de este tipo durante la conferencia.
Durante el discurso que luego dio Cristina, mencionó a Mera
en tres ocasiones y agradeció el tributo que dedicó
a Celia Cruz, quien dijo, era su mejor amiga. Al terminar el evento
Cristina Saralegui, su esposo Marcos Ávila, su publicista
Gabriel
Reyes y Miguel Ángel Pérez (maquillador de 17 años
del Show de Cristina y columnista de Cristina la revista) caminaron
junto a la cantante mientras Cristina elogiaba su trabajo y a su
equipo de SGM Records.
Lo ocurrido
el pasado viernes es un orgullo para SGM Records y sabemos que esto
marca un nuevo comienzo para la carrera de nuestra artista y compositora
de BMI Diana Mera. “Cuando vi a Cristina después de
cantar yo esperaba tener la oportunidad
de saludarla y me di con la sorpresota que ella me venia a abrazar
a mí, me felicitó, conversamos sobre algunos planes,
me dijo que tenía tremenda manager y que estábamos
trabajando en la dirección correcta, fue magnífico,
pasé mucho tiempo junto a ella y a su equipo hasta que se
fueron” dijo muy emocionada Diana Mera.
Sólo
resta agradecerle a Gerardo Higginson, presidente de relaciones
públicas de la conferencia, por su apoyo y brillante idea
de llevar a Diana Mera a Phoenix, AZ para esta exitosa presentación.

journalist and Host of the Cristina Talk Show, Cristina Saralegui,
was impressed with the strength of her
voice, talent and charisma. Cristina was the guest of honor at the
conference and received the National Latina Excellence Award. While
Diana’s performance, Cristina was dancing and clapping from
her seat, there was a moment where she hold the singer’s hand
and told her in Spanish “eres buenisima” (You are so
good) and gave Diana her popular thumps up gesture. It was such
an exiting presentation and full of energy, also is important to
highlight that Mera’s performance broke the mold at the Hispanic
Women's Conference; in the 20 years that they celebrate this event
Diana becomes the first and only artist to sing at their celebration.
During Cristina’s speech, she mentioned Diana Mera on three
occasions and thanked the tribute paid to Celia
Cruz, who she said was her best friend. At the culmination of the
event Cristina Saralegui, her husband Marcos Ávila, her publicist
Gabriel Reyes and Miguel Ángel Pérez (make up artist

the magazine) walked next to the singer while Cristina complemented
her work and her team at SGM Records.
SGM Records
is proud of last Friday’s success and we know this marks a
new beginning for the career of our artist and BMI composer Diana
Mera. “When I saw Cristina after performing, I was wishing
to get an opportunity to say hello and to my surprise she came to
hug me, congratulate me, we talked about future plans, she also
told me I
had the best manager and that we are working towards the right direction,
it was amazing! I spend a lot of time with her and her crew until
they left” Diana Mera commented in a very exiting fashion.
The only thing
left to say is many thanks to Gerardo Higginson Chair of Public
Relations of the Hispanic Women's Conference for his support and
brilliant idea to bring Diana Mera to Phoenix, AZ for this sensational
