Cha cha cha and All That Jazz! Alternative Energy Use in Hollywood Movies Today

Like Latin music? How about salsa, tango, La Marinera? Not your thing?

What about swordfighting to music, waving little white flags the size of handkerchiefs, or doing gymnastics with master Brazilian capoeistas?

Oh wait, maybe first, a Broadway extravangaza in the middle of the LIE. Or a trance dance or two on some Manhattan street or suburb?

No? Si si? Got you in a squeeze, a tight clinch, hearing the romantic serenades of Placido Domingo, Alejandro Fernandez, Cristian, or Marc Anthony? Or maybe, the Afro-Peruvian sounds of Oscar Aviles and his friends?

Well, what about hanging with a teenager who sings, dances, and calls on the Mary Poppin Powers of La Conga and Inca Water (for that vida loca samba where all of life's a marshmellow and good enough to eat)?

Or maybe, you're into interdimensional space travel in the Andes and the blue waters of the Amazon or the coasts of Peru, Costa Rica, Chile and Brazil?

What? How can all of that be in one moving experience?

Candelaria Solosabor is the reason. Ageless, Machu Pichu-born, speaks all number of languages to be the wonder guide she is, and travels by Broadway enchantment via the silver sceen.

What else do you call it?

Candelaria says, "You take a deep breath before you call it 'Aspiration'" and get to tango with Warren Aspiration, the greatest villain out of New York City since Chicago took over the theater in the Big Apple and Grease hit the tour America circuit.

Gotcha? Let's try some real Sabor... look below... connect... help produce it... Yes, you.

Who do you know within Six Degrees of Banderas, Hayek, Lithgow, Klein, Streep, Domingo, Marc Anthony, Susan Stroman, Rob Marshall or that family that directs and produces films about the Latino experience via Broadway, Japan, ballroom dance theater and the Congo-connection south of the border, the U.S. border that is?

In Peru's capital of Lima, a dozen faith healers from Peru, Brazil, Mexico and Bolivia danced during Obama's inauguration. Stomping their feet, shaking rattles and blowing smoke, they chanted Obama's name while throwing flower petals and coca leaves at his photograph.

The ancient Andean ritual is known as Jatun Sonjo, or 'Big Heart' in the Quechua language, explained shaman Juan Osco.

"In ancient times, it was one of the rituals dedicated to Inca and pre-Inca rulers," Osco said. "Today we dedicate it from Peru to Obama, because he is the first black president and his heart is big for the whole world."

And many blessings to all of you. Juntos celebramos lo unico que es sol y mar.

Not exactly Disney, nor West Side Story, the screenplay Sabor is about a travelling angel and a family, and their relationship to a Latino community arts center losing its home to a billionaire corporate mongol who's seeking Inca Water (the water of life) in order to take over the world. Of course, his son Noel and stepdaughter Alma have something to say about it, when they're not singing and street dancing.

Machu Picchu (, "Old Peak", ) is a pre-Columbian Inca site located above sea level. It is situated on a mountain ridge above the Urubamba Valley in Peru, which is northwest of Cuzco and through which the Urubamba River flows. Often referred to as "The Lost City of the Incas", Machu Picchu is one of the most familiar symbols of the Inca Empire.

The Incas started building it around AD 1430 but was abandoned as an official site for the Inca rulers a hundred years later at the time of the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire. Although known locally, it was largely unknown to the outside world before being brought to international attention in 1911 by Hiram Bingham, an American historian. Since then, Machu Picchu has become an important tourist attraction.

Machu Picchu was declared a Peruvian Historical Sanctuary in 1981 and a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983. Since it was not plundered by the Spanish when they conquered the Incas, it is especially important as a cultural site and is considered a sacred place.

Machu Picchu was built in the classical Inca style, with polished dry-stone walls. Its primary buildings are the Intihuatana, the Temple of the Sun, and the Room of the Three Windows. These are located in what is known by archaeologists as the Sacred District of Machu Picchu. In September 2007, Peru and Yale University reached an agreement regarding the return of artifacts which Hiram Bingham had removed from Machu Picchu in the early twentieth century.
