JOSE FERMIN CEBALLOS - NEW ORLEANS FUSION.

I am Jose Fermin Ceballos from the Dominican Republic and a professional musician. The type of music that I am or that I make is fusion. I like to mix rhythms from different places because I understand that music and cultures are wide, so if you grab a little of each thing and each rhythm is very important to have other elements in the music; but as a Caribbean musician, I have a merengue, bachata, salsa base and always adding a little of everything. The music is a great vehi

LYCEE FRANCAIS WITH THE MAGIC LATINX TOUCH.

Hello, my name is Cristina Sanchez and I’ve been the Director of Admissions and Enrollment at the Lycee Francais of New Orleans since July 2015.
