Recent inductee into the International Museum of Women in San Francisco, Carmen Milagro takes you on a creative & musical journey every week, and celebrates "Women and Legends Who Really Rock! You can "rock" as an artist you can rock as a "vocalist, a writer, a lyricist, the leader of the band".…BUT you can also rock as a human being, as a "leader, caretaker or role model for children", and “rock” as a vehicle for social change or you can rock as a “parent, teacher or shaman”... that’s my personal definition of someone who REALLY rocks. I created these shows Women and Legends Who REALLY Rock! as a means to feature, nurture, encourage, support and give voice to those who are changing their world! These are people of all ages, ethnicities and lifestyles who are involved in any way shape or form in music, business, film and video, any of the arts, education & parenting, media, design and even politics. Basically, on the radio show we’ll just “talk” on the phone, something we do every day of our lives, we'll share stories and ideas, play some music, tell you about special events, answer your questions and will primarily, feature interviews with musical colleagues, friends and celebrities in the entertainment business too!
Date / Time: 4/7/2009 8:01 PM UTC
As you may or may not know on Saturday 4/4/09 after months and months of planning, some challenges and funny stories we finally shot our 2009 Music Video! I wish I was able to thank you all in person and I certainly hope I do not leave anyone out in this email (If I do PLEASE forgive me and pass it on!)
There were a few things that I wanted to encapsulate in our music video:
1) EXTREME JOY even in the face of adversity
2) The DIVERSITY amongst our dancers, my friends, family and other people I love and care for! (Find out who they are below)
3) I wanted to RELIVE and RECAPTURE the essence of my childhood memories of wonderful life celebrations which included all sorts of lovely beautiful people from all walks of life, ages and ethnicities.
4) The CREATIVITY and EXPERTISE of THE most amazing video crew ON THE PLANET!! (See below)
5) The TALENTS and PERSONALITY of the MILAGRO Band!!
To THANK YOU and tell you what we created together exceeded my WILDEST expectations cannot begin to express how I feel, but it's all I have. I am actually quite speechless about what we were able to do together. NONE of it would have been possible without each and everyone of you! I feel such extreme admiration and respect for your talents, your dedication, professionalism and above all your beautiful glorious spirit. I am truly blessed to be connected to you and have each and every one of you in my life now who made this day, this event, this vision come to life! It was quite simply one of the most magical days in my life and I hope it was for you as well. Once again, we must thank Mike Bovo and his entire family for allowing us to use is personal residence as our magical set for the day as well a big huge shoutout to THE most terrific, best-looking fun-loving firefighters from Station 85 (Colma, CA)!
To me, from my perspective, it was a FLAWLESS shoot filled with wonderful crazy beautiful energy amongst the exhilarating madness from the amazing choreography, to the set design and shoot execution, to the incredible catering that kept everyone's juices flowing! I would love to hear about your experiences. I'd love for you all to spread the good word about MILAGRO on your Facebook, Myspace, Twitter accounts (mine is http://twitter.com/carmenmilagro, but I have yet to learn how to use it!) and of course, all the other social networks out there! I cannot wait to see the completed video (big plans) and please keep mid-July open for our OFFICIAL reunion wrap & digital release party...more details forthcoming soon!
In the meantime please tune into my weekly Women (and Legends) Who REALLY Rock! radio show on Fridays at 10:30am on blogtalkradio.com/carmen-milagro
Again THANK YOU so much please continue to read beyond the photo below to find out about our sponsors and all the lovely people you worked with on the shoot! I may not see you soon because we're going straight in to the recording studio for the next few weeks but you'll always reside in my heart! I could not have asked for a more perfect day, in every sense of the word! Gracias!
Carmen Milagro
