The first single from Noel Schajris’s new solo album makes its much-anticipated debut

July 22, 2009, Los Angeles, CA- “No Veo La Hora” is the debut single from the album “Uno No Es Uno” (Sony), which marks the beginning of a new and important phase in Noel Schajris’s (SACM/SESAC Latina) career as a solo artist after Sin Bandera. The song is currently playing on radio stations throughout Latin America.

“I have a lot of faith in it. I put it on my You Tube channel (www.youtube.com/noelschajris), where I also feature the video I did with John Legend. The initial comments are wonderful. It’s a romantic song about waiting to fulfill the dream of living out your love. I wrote it with Gian Marco,” states the artist.

He adds that the video for the song was filmed in Los Angeles under the direction of Carlos Lopez, “a 21 year-old director who works with a creative team where no one is over the age of 25; it’s a young group that demonstrates passion and professionalism. It was a unique experience, a new and wonderful one for me.”

The single “No Veo La Hora” will make its debut in the United States during the first part of August. The full-length album “Uno No Es Uno,” which will be released in Latin America on August 25th, will be made available in the United States and Puerto Rico a month later.

The album contains 11 songs and 1 bonus track, the theme song to the film “Regresa,” a romantic comedy starring Mexican actor Jaime Camil.

The co-producers of the album are Sebastian Krys and Walter Afanasieff. Among the composers with whom Noel wrote the new repertoire is Claudia Brant, a SESAC Latina affiliate, who participates as co-writer on 8 tracks.

For that reason, Noel states that his new album could just as easily be called “The Songs of Claudia and Noel.” He also points out that all the collaborations on this project were “marvelous,” and that the three artists with whom he duets – Luis Fonsi, Yuridia, and John Legend – were “guests of honor.”

In regards to “Uno No Es Uno,” Noel Schajris states that the title is a conceptual one, used in this instance to sustain that “I am not one, but many. I am not a person, an individual separated from the rest of humanity. Neither am I separated from creation, from the universe. Rather, I am an accumulation of personalities that reside within a human body. Depending on the external circumstances, these personalities are triggered and emerge, being that they reside within me. ‘Uno No Es Uno’ comes from that. But it also comes from the fact that I feel more accompanied than ever before.”

Why food affects our health?

Nutritional column
Cristal Muñoz

In this last decade, science has come to discover that many health issues are not due to genetic inheritance but due to the fact that what we inherit are our parents bad eating habits. If mom liked to cook with lard, chances are daughter will also use lard to cook with and, surprise! Both mother and daughter have high cholesterol.

This is very good news as it means that the power of being healthy is in our hands if we focus on changing our eating habits. (Sigh) I know, it’s not as easy as the Doctor seems to think.

First of all, if you really want to change your eating habits, you would do well to know why you’re doing so and what the consequences will be if you don’t.

Just to give you an idea, seventy percent of the population in the U.S. is currently overweight (meaning they have an extra five to forty pounds) and three out of every ten people who are overweight are actually obese (meaning over forty pounds overweight) which is considered a clinical disease.

Now, if you’re a practical person like me, you may be thinking: “So what if I have a few extra pounds?! I’m not concerned.”

Here lies the problem:

What you’ve been eating that has made you gain weight is replacing what you should be eating to stay healthy, and that may cause you to have future health problems other than just being overweight.

Perhaps you’re amongst the many who have replaced water with soda and refreshments. If so, you have replaced one of the most important elements your body needs to distribute nutrients and purify the organs.

Remember your grandparents? Chances are they didn’t use adult diapers. Yet it is estimated that sixty percent of the population above seventy years of age now use them. Why? Years of abusing the kidneys by not drinking enough water and saturating them with sugar and chemicals every day. What would happen to your car’s radiator if you put soda in it?

It is important to understand that a large number of minor health issues such as migraines, cholesterol, constipation and fatigue can be occasioned by excesses and deficiencies in our diets.

So next time you want to lose those extra pounds or have more energy remember: it’s not only what you eat, but what you don’t eat that is affecting your health!
