Good news for Jennifer?

This could mean nothing or it could be great for latin music.

Univision buy makes UMG top Latin player

Here is the part that mentions Jennifer:

Univision Music Group was founded in 2001 by Jose Behar, the former head of EMI Latin. Behar started the label from scratch and turned it into the leading U.S. Latin label following its acquisition of indie Fonovisa. Univision's roster includes such top-selling acts as Marco Antonio Solis, Los Tigres del Norte and Los Temerarios. Although a large bulk of the music group's catalog falls under regional Mexican music, Behar made a concerted effort to diversify his roster, recently bringing in artists including Ivy Queen and Olga Tanon and such developing acts as Xtreme and Jennifer Pena.

Univision's marriage with Universal will unify Univision's strong regional Mexican roster with a major roster of pop and reggaeton acts signed to Universal and Machete, including Juanes, Enrique Iglesias, Paulina Rubio and Wisin & Yandel

Sounds like this will help the regional artists (like Jen, I guess) but have they given up on Dicen Que El Tiempo?

Jen didn't win the Grammy. She lost to Alejandro Sanz. Tough competition, I'm glad she was recognized for her great work on DQET.

Don't forget to buy Dicen Que El Tempoif you haven't already...or buy it again. :) Amazon.Com now has a way to buy individual MP3s. Great feature. I'll be buying some older Jen songs today.

Here is a great review of Dicen from Joey Guerra

Jennifer Peña made a name for herself in the now-languishing Tejano genre, but Dicen Que el Tiempo finds her far removed from that localized sound. If anything, her '90s discs were a mere setup for the more polished, accomplished work she's released since signing with the Univision label five years ago. Peña seems comfortable in her role as a burgeoning pop diva, and her sprightly personality is what brings most of Dicen Que el Tiempo's best tracks to life. It's the fullest realization of her pop potential to date. Opener "Soy Asi (The Tequila Song)" is a pivotal kickoff point, celebrating Peña's diverse identity."Ladron" packs a fiery pop punch, and "Marzo 17" is a sun-kissed ode to love. Peña wrote most of the tracks with boyfriend Obie Bermudez, and the couple's chemistry translates well to disc. "Tu Mejor Amiga" brims with electro-tinged optimism, and sweeping first single "Como Entender" is in line with her best ballands. But it's the blaring ska groove of "Tus Besos" that will surprise fans. Peña's vocals are slinky, assured and light years away from her giggly, girlish beginnings

Grammy event

According to this Jennifer is supposed to attend a Grammy event/career day in Southern Cal on February 7. If it is true, I'm sure there will be an official announcement from Jen.

I can't wait to find out more about the release of Amexicano!
