BRYAN VARGAS & YA ESTA - wishing you and yours a very happy
2005.

2004 was a great year for Ya Está. We had many proud
achievements & milestones this past year. And all of this
success is directly because of you - our friends, family & fans.
We couldn't have done it with out your help. So thank you!

Here's a list of some of our prouder moments this year:

- Released our debut CD, "Afro Latino Soul" in June
- Had an audience of over 200 people at our SOBs CD release
party (and they all got some cake!)
- YE debuted at the Copacabana, BAM, NJ PAC and some of the
best venues/festivals in the area.
- YE spread our wings for the first time to eastern LI, Rhode
Island and other not-so-exotic places that are really impressive
to a city kid like me.
- Celebrated our 5th anniversary with a return to the Knitting
Factory
- Our 1st Live national radio appearance on the Joey Reynolds
Show WOR AM.
- Received airplay on over 40 different great radio stations
across the entire country
- Got reviewed by NY Newsday, All About Jazz, Peter Watrous in
Descarga.com and lots of great press.
- Self-distributed our CD to the coolest & best record stores in
New York & online.
- Sold a ton of CDs ourselves and through stores.
- And most surprising of all: WE SURVIVED THE WHOLE
THING!!

Things to look forward to in 2005:
We're working on some great stuff. So look for some more
media appearances, and mini-tours across the US & Europe.
Lots of new music & we plan on recording later this year - so
watch out for CD #2 in Early 2006!
