Un Chin Magazine Celebrates 400 Years of Quixote

NEW YORK, Oct. 31 /PRNewswire/ -- Un Chin Magazine continues a 400-year celebration of Cervantes' immortal interpretation of the artist, the dreamer, the entrepreneur -- brought to life through the work of top photographers designers and writers in their end-of-year issue: Quixote. Quixote serves as the umbrella novel for the literacy issue. As Editor in Chief Ramon Veras explains, "It was the first novel printed in Cuba after the Cuban revolution for distribution to the masses; and for the 400-year-anniversary, the Venezuelan government printed a million copies to be distributed for free. So this is very much a book for the people. While Cervantes is compared to Homer and Shakespeare, his work ranks with the Iliad and Hamlet as far as international acclaim and relevance also making it the ideal book for the New Culture."

The Quixote issue features actress Michelle Rodriguez on the cover, photographed by renowned shutterbug Cesar Vera. Rodriguez is currently starring in the hit Emmy Award-winning TV series LOST. Quixote also features Tego Calderon as the Atlantic Knight as he talks about his latest venture. "To put together a literacy issue in a country with such abundant resources meant that we needed to push the envelope. We wanted to encourage our audience to stay informed considering the pervading political atmosphere," states Veras. The Quixote issue is a creative play on literacy, bringing to life some of our old-time favorite books in an edition packed with mesmerizing photo spreads, creative story boards, and the usual dose of new faces."

Un Chin will bring the issue to life through Quixotic Music, a live music showcase that will take place in Los Angeles after the Latin Grammy Awards.

The celebration will feature performances by Adassa, Orixa, Ali Vegas, and De Sol. Footage of the making of the cover plus all the behind the scenes of the making of the Quixote issue will be playing throughout the night. New York City's DJ Finesse will provide a mix of electrifying vibes. 2005 Grammy nominees expected to attend the event include 3 time nominee JD Natasha, singer and producer Robi Draco Rosa, actress Angela Alvarado Rosa, and musical group Ozomatli. Reggaeton artist Tego Calderon, reggaeton's number one producer DJ Nelson, Hollywood actress Paula Garces, musical groups Enanitos Verdes, Orishas, Circo and L.A. Lakers NBA player Lamar Odom are also among the confirmed guests. Odom will be there alongside teammates, celebrating his birthday and home opener which also takes place earlier that evening.
