Venezuelan singer and political activist, Miguel Ignacio Mendoza Donatti, aka Nacho makes his way to America's Bayou City June 1, 2018 at Revention Music Center.

     Last March, Chino & Nacho announced that they would take a break as a duo. Nacho confessed that the desire to spend more time with his family was the main reason for the decision. "We were going to make more than 160 annual dates and there was a point where I began to regulate those trips so that they were less than 15 days, because I felt that I was abandoning my children, my wife".


Nacho signed with the record label Universal Music Group, to continue his solo career. In addition, he signed an agreement as a music executive, to help in the search for new talents and to give them the opportunity to make themselves known.

Jussie Smollett
@Satellite Bar

Friday 6/1/2018 8:30 PM

Musician/Actor Jussie Smollett began his acting career at an early age, but it was on Fox television's Empire we can say he became a household name. Smollett's character Jamal Lyons introduced America to a young black character that can perform hip/hop and R&B that happens to be gay.
     The creator/executive producer of the series, Lee Daniels summed it up this way, when he was interviewed by Buzzfeed.com back in 2015 when the series premiered on FOX, "With Jamal's storyline, Daniels said, he is hoping to help normalize gay romantic relationships (particularly between two men of color), while wrestling with the notion that the black community at large is homophobic. It's a perception Daniels dates to the AIDS epidemic and the idea that the pandemic stems from black men who might be living on the down low (or DL)."
     Daniels who is also gay,  went on to say in Out magazine a gay publication, that although the character is gay his sexuality is fluid, when the character hooked up with a woman in subsequent seasons of the show. "Jussie and I both share the same feeling that, yes, even though we are gay, we're sexual human beings.
