So the wonderful mayhem that is the Puerto Rican Day Parade is coming up this Sunday, June 10th. It's the parade's 50th anniversary (crazy, huh?) and this year's king is Ricky Martin (who definitly deserves the honor). And, as always, everyone is breaking out their flag-covered clothing, bead necklaces, bandannas, and even those umbrella shaped hats (ridiculous as they may be)... I'm not hating because my red-white-and-blue dress is ready to go, and I still have my nice G-Unit kicks with the coquí on the side! LOL.. Yes, y'all, it's all in good fun and I'm as 'bout it as the next proud Rican...
The word is that Daddy Yankee will be coasting along on the MTV Tr3 float (excerpts highlighting VJ Carlos Santana's introduction to the parade will air on "Mi TRL" on June 14th at 4:30 PM EST and "Sucker Free Latino" will broadcast a special Puerto Rican Day Parade Edition featuring Yankee and other artists on June 18th at 4:30 PM). Word is that Zion will be the main act on the Coors Light float... Wisin Y Yandel, meanhwile, are the featured act on the New York Post's float. As the Ambassadors of Urban Music this year, Calle 13 will also be representing at the parade. Glory and Jowell Y Randy were named Goodwill Ambassadors.
Meanwhile, the parties and concerts are in full effect -- La Kalle 105.9 FM's Bling Blineo concert, featuring Don Omar, Tito El Bambino, Hector el Father, Victor Manuelle, Wisin y Yandel, and Yankee (among others) will go down Saturday night at Shea Stadium in Queens at 8 p.m. La Kalle 105.9's popular radio personalities will also be on hand, including: Lisa Rodriguez, Laura Stylez, DJ Kazzanova, and DJ Ñeko. Tickets can be purchased at the Shea Stadium ticket office, by calling (718) 507 – TIXX or by visiting www.507TIXX.com
