The young Cuban singer Elain Morales hosts since last year a reality show for television MEGA TV chain entitled Follow Me, a program dedicated to disclose everything about the process of music creation and for his second season presented a series on Cuban music.
With about an hour-long program, which had its first broadcast on May 19, 2013 and airs Sundays at 8 pm, quickly ranked among the highest-rated spaces for MEGA TV audience, and for the next installment they can also be seen on DIRECTV, the largest satellite TV provider in the world.
The series devoted to Cuban music, Morales told OnCuba, will be very special because we want to focus on the work of artists living on the island in the previous season there were several Cuban musicians we work with, but everyone living in the United States, and the intention is to provide an overview , the broadest possible of this manifestation that has taken the name of Cuba way up in all corners of the planet.
“What we do in Follow Me is very interesting because interviews are not traditional, but show the musician in their natural environment, which is more comfortable. We teach the public the least known of the musical creation, from the process of composition and music composition of a work to the rehearsals and what happens backstage at a concert. “
I’m a musician, he says, but this experience as a host has enriched me a lot, I have had the opportunity to address in these program figures of international renown, and the time is up; before the special on Cuban music we did one of the Dominican, and then we do it with the Brazilian.
In nearly a year of work Follow Me had the pleasure of having as guest artists Dominicans Johnny Ventura, Victor Victor, Pavel Nuñez , Cubans Arturo Sandoval , Albita Rodriguez and Lena Malena Burke, among others, plus a special dedicated to the queen Celia Cruz .
Now Elain is putting the finishing touches to the concert he will give on Friday at the National Theater of Cuba , where he will make the world premiere of his fourth album, entitled My Paradise , in which he sings with the Dominican Ventura , known worldwide as “El Caballo Mayor” and the Cuban salsa singer Isaac Delgado , who he hopes may participate.
Then he will perform an international tour to promote the album, that beginning with Mexico will lead him to scenarios in 40 countries in Europe , Latin America and of course the United States.
Elain Morales does not stop sings, records, leads and conducts social campaigns against domestic violence and for helping children with cancer, but all with great desire to do.
“I thank all those who follow my music; they are my inspiration to go back for more. New and good things to come, for now the next installment of Follow Me , that precious project that I will always be indebted to MEGA TV and SBS ( Spanish Broadcasting System) ” chain.
