BRYAN VARGAS & YA ESTA on NPR

Hola to all of our friends y familia from here at the Ya Está HQ.
No, no gig announcement this time… we just wanted to let you
know about a great opportunity for us - and how you can help us
out.

We have a song featured on NPR's Open Mic. You can listen to
our song "Guerreros Africanos," and rate it between 1-5 (5 being
best).

As they say on the site - "this is not a competition," - but hey
we're a competitive band!! So please log onto their site and give
our song a 5. It'll help us stand out more and look more enticing
to NPR listeners who may be hearing us for the first time. And
besides - it'll feed our egos and make us really happy! Voting is
only open THIS WEEK ONLY.

Open Mic is part of NPR's web only podcast - All Songs
Considered. ASC is a music-only web counterpart of NPR's top
rated news program, All Things Considered - which you've
probably heard of. Regardless, this is a great opportunity for us,
and we're honored to have been selected to participate. The link
to rate our song is below:

PRESS
Batanga Latin Music magazine gave us a GREAT review in this
month's issue (41/2 STARS!!!). Reggaeton phenomenon Daddy
Yankee is on the cover, and we're on page 65 (that's ok - we got
a better review than he did!). "Truly a delightful find…" they
said. Learn more at http://www.batanga.com

NEW ORLEANS -
New Orleans has been good to Ya Esta. Our CDs were on sale
at Musica Latina, and we got plenty of airplay on WWOZ. Now, all
of our hearts and minds are of course with the victims of
Hurricane Katrina. So lets try and give back to this great city.
There are many great benefits happening around town, so
please attend one and give what you can. Or please visit one of
these websites:
