¡HOLA! Américas Debuts Inaugural Latina Powerhouse Top 100 Gala in Miami: A Night of Glamour and Inspiration
Inspired by the splendor of 1950s Broadway, this year’s gala will honor the incomparable Chita Rivera as the recipient of the 2025 Latina Powerhouse Honorable Mention. The evening will pay tribute to her landmark career in musical theater and her pioneering contributions to Latina representation on Broadway and in the performing arts. Rivera’s daughter, Lisa Mordente, expressed her gratitude for the recognition, stating, “I can’t thank you enough for honoring Mamá in this manner. Your class and respect for her is a beautiful tribute to her and a testament to you and your company.”
Since 2020, the Latina Powerhouse Top 100 has spotlighted the leadership, creativity, and impact of Latinas across multiple industries. “The Latina Powerhouse Top 100 was born to amplify Latina excellence,” said Nagidmy Márquez Acosta, Chief Content Officer of ¡HOLA! Américas. “With this inaugural gala, we celebrate not only individual achievement but the collective brilliance of a community that continues to uplift, inspire, and reshape the world.”
Taking the stage for an unforgettable night are Agustín Bernasconi, Alisún Solís, Carlos Baute, Chico Castillo, Elena Rose, Gilberto Santa Rosa, Ha*Ash, Mimy Succar, Nicole Zuraitis, and Yami Safdie, with more stars to be announced soon. All performances will be accompanied by an all-star 20-piece big band. The evening will also feature a special, show-stopping DJ set by the legendary duo Nina Sky (Nicole and Natalie Albino). The celebration will be hosted by Alejandro Nones, Nadia Ferreira, Patricia Janiot, and Patricia Zavala.
Pioneering philanthropist and business leader Adrienne Arsht will deliver keynote remarks. “We are deeply honored to have her with us for this historic night. Her presence and vision embody the spirit of purpose, generosity, and cultural excellence we celebrate through Latina Powerhouse,” said Márquez Acosta.
As one of the world’s most vibrant cultural hubs for Latinos, Miami serves as the ideal setting for this inaugural gathering. With its unique fusion of heritage, creativity, and global influence, the city perfectly reflects the spirit of the Latina Powerhouse celebration and the communities it honors.
For more than 80 years, ¡HOLA! has elevated the stories and cultural contributions of the global Hispanic community. Through this new gala format, ¡HOLA! Américas deepens its commitment to celebrating the women whose stories advance visibility and excellence across every sector.
The event is made possible through the support of South Dade Kia, Disney, Ama Amoedo Foundation, Vida y Estilo, Turismo de España, Turismo de Málaga, Lola Casademunt, JP Morgan Chase, Donatella, Johnnie Walker, Daniela Califa, Florida Grand Opera, Neutrogena, and Tequila Tesoro Azul. Their collective commitment reflects a shared dedication to celebrating Latina greatness and excellence.
A special thank-you goes to Events by Alejandrina, Dilia Design Events, Constellation Culinary Group, Bergoderi Stylish Desserts, Sr. De Los Jamones, Indira Fodor Planner, Life Memories by Patricia Janiot, and New Land Theatricals for their collaboration on this inaugural celebration.

Tokyo Soul Singer Tyrone Hashimoto Releases New Single Oct. 2, Plays Tokyo Jazz Club Same Night
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Tyrone Hashimoto (born Shunichi Suzuki), a Tokyo-based singer-songwriter,, plans to release his latest single, "Wake Up in the Morning Sun," across streaming platforms on October 2, per his production company Teddy Bear Productions. The artist will celebrate with a live performance by the Lakeside Struttin’ Band at Sometime Jazz the same evening.
The song arrives as the latest entry in what Hashimoto has called the "Music Cruise" series, an ongoing project now in its seventh installment, according to prior coverage of his work. The announcement describes the new track as an offering of encouragement, framed around the idea that a better life is within reach.
Hashimoto has built a four-decade career that spans well beyond his nine solo albums, all recorded in English, and a catalog the announcement puts at more than 600 original songs. He’s written jingles for McDonald’s, KFC, Nissan, Canon, Sharp, Kodak and Tokyo Disneyland, among other clients, and took a bronze prize at the Cannes Commercial Film Festival in 1994 for a Panasonic spot. One commercial job, for the Japanese coffee brand UCC, reportedly involved bringing James Brown into the studio to sing for the ad.
Originally from Yaita in Tochigi prefecture, Japan,, Hashimoto won the Grand Prix at the first All Japan Folk Music Festival at age 17, citing Simon & Garfunkel and Peter, Paul and Mary among his early influences. He went on to work with Haruomi Hosono’s Tin Pan Alley project, played a role in Yellow Magic Orchestra’s debut album, and became an original member of La Orquesta Del Sol, described in the announcement as Japan’s first major salsa band.
His American profile traces back to a 1987 visit to Seattle, where local press and broadcasters, including KIRO, KUOW and NBC affiliate KING5, covered his music; a KING5 documentary profiling the artist that was subsequently distributed to 37 additional U.S. markets. He has also taught voice and guitar to more than 1,000 students, including Japanese musicians Sugizo, Miyavi, Takeru and Junya Enoki, and recently received an honorary doctorate in music education from University of Perpetual Help System DALTA in the Philippines.
For Studio CarryOnHarry, the throughline here isn’t the single itself but the career behind it: a working musician who has moved fluidly between recording artist, jingle writer and educator for going on 40 years, in two countries, without a signature hit driving any of it.

London indie-punk band Song 1 have released a new five-track EP called What The…., following a year of lineup changes and what the band describes as a shift toward sharper, more off-kilter songwriting.
According to the announcement, the record lands following months of roster adjustments that solidified the five-member configuration, and the record is framed as the sound of that lineup settling into place. The band describes the title not as a literal question but as a kind of shrug, an expression of the loose, sideways attitude that runs through the tracklist.
The EP opens with “Feeling Sideways,” which the band positions as the reset point for this new phase, constructed from restless grooves and crooked rhythms, per the band’s description. The focus single, “Crooked,” follows, built around jagged guitar work, live drums and a melodic bassline, with the line “I move crooked but I land just right” serving as the track’s stated thesis.
“Morning Sun” is described as a tonal shift toward something wider and brighter, using imagery like a “paper weight sky” to move from heavier material toward something more lifted. “Not Lost” continues that throughline lyrically, with the band pointing to the line “I’m not lost, I’m just aligned / With the beat that hides between your time” as a statement of purpose. The EP closes with “My Shadow’s Got Its Own Mind,” which the announcement calls a late-night, low-lit close to the record, framing the band’s embrace of unpredictability as a deliberate stance rather than a lack of direction.
Taken together, the band and its team describe What The …. as the clearest statement yet of Song 1’s identity: an alternative indie-punk work anchored in big hooks, live-wire guitars and knowing self-awareness about not fitting a mold.
Studio CarryOnHarry will be watching whether “Crooked” gives the band a genuine breakout moment beyond the EP cycle, since focus singles built around a clear lyrical hook are often where a band either finds a wider audience or doesn’t.
No compass or straight lines required, as the band themselves put it, just an audience willing to turn it up.
