CHAYANNE IS READY TO EXCEL ONCE AGAIN

-The singer spends a few days in Brazil, where he's preparing his next concerts-

THIS IS THE CAPTION ON BOTTOM LEFT CORNER OF THE PICTURE IN PART ONE:

"My children are the joy of my life, as is my wife. It pains me to have to be away from them."

THIS IS THE SHORT HEADLINE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ARTICLE:

"In my family, I find the peace and tranquility I need."

THIS IS THE CAPTION FROM THE PHOTO - BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER OF PART ONE:

-SPAIN IS ALWAYS IN HIS HEART-

Spain is one the first countries where the Puerto Rican singer will present his work. The artist feels great affection for our country and every time he pays a visit -like the last time when he presented his Grandes Exitos album- he is full of compliments. "Spain is a fellow country, where I feel very comfortable. The food is fantastic; it has marvelous weather and very beautiful women."

THIS IS THE TRANSLATION OF THE ACTUAL ARTICLE:

Elmer Figueroa has already warmed up the engines to become once again, one of the kings of the summer. He's not a new singing star; all of you have known him for a number of years, since Elmer Figueroa is none other than the smiling and attractive Puerto Rican, Chayanne.

His name was born from his passion with Westerns; one series from the 60's in particular, titled Chayanne. The singer posed for our cameras in Brazil, where he's spending a few days with his family, very excited and ready to hit it big once again with a successful hit this summer.

With a big smile, Chayanne is facing a summer filled with work and dozens of trips because as he says, "I'm used to working. I've said many times that the first seven years of my life, were the only years when I didn't have to work."

Chayanne's first contact with the music world was, along with his siblings, in the church choir where at first, he only played a small drum. At the age of 10 -the artist was born on June 28, 1968 in Río Piedras, Puerto Rico- he was selected in a casting session for new talent, to form the new youth group, Los Chicos.

That was the moment a star was born. Nowadays, he's considered one of the "super sales" performers and, in spite of himself, thousand of women in the entire planet swoon over him. We say, in spite of himself, because he never tires of commenting: "I'm very grateful to all my fans and admirers, but sometimes it feels strange because I'm very shy and anything makes me blush."

This sweetness and his excellent character, make him one of artists with the most friends in the entertaiment world, including his "rivals" like his countryman Ricky Martin, of whom Chayanne says: "Ricky is a great professional. He has a beautiful career and is very well known. I'm very happy that one of my countrymen enjoys great success and he will continue to do so. He's a good friend." Enrique Iglesias and Luis Miguel are among his other friends.

Chayanne has been happily married for more than 15 years to the Venezuelan, Marilisa Maronesse and is the proud father of two children. Lorenzo Valentino, 5 and Isadora Sofía, 2. The drawback of having a successful career is that he spends a lot of time away from them, because of his tours and concerts. "My children are the joy of my life, as is my wife. It pains me to have to spend time away from them, because in my family, I find the peace and tranquility I need."

In his 35 years, Chayanne has shown his talent in television and also the big screen. He's starred in numerous soap operas and made the movie, Dance With Me, along with Vanessa Williams.

THIS IS THE QUOTE ABOVE THE TOP RIGHT CORNER OF THE SECOND PAGE:

"I'm used to working. The first seven years of my life were the only years when I didn't have to work."

THIS IS THE CAPTION FROM PICTURE AT THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER:

Chayanne married the Venezuelan, Marilisa Maronesse, a little more than 15 years ago, and with her, has fathered two children. Lorenzo Valentino, who was born five years ago, and the litte Isadora Sofía, who recently turned two. The singer describes himself as a family man and admits he suffers when he's away from his loved ones.
