			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>El Festival de Jazz de la Riviera Maya, alcanzará su novena edición del 24 al 26 de noviembre de 2011. Este evento musical, que a lo largo de estos años ha logrado cautivar la imaginación y el corazón de los amantes de la música, llega renovado y con invitados de lujo, que engalanarán Playa del Carmen.</p>
<p>Grandes leyendas y ganadores de Premios Grammy han pisado el escenario de Playa Mamitas, entre los que destacan George Duke, Four Play, Sergio Mendes, Herbie Hancock, Ivan Lins, David Sanborn, Earl Klugh, Armando Manzanero y Sacbe, entre muchos otros que han tenido la oportunidad de deleitar al público de la Riviera Maya.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1615" title="Events in Riviera Maya" src="http://engrivieramaya.grandvelas.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/LOGO-JAZZ-FEST-2011-FECHAS.jpg" alt="Events in Riviera Maya" width="472" height="227" /></p>
<p>Durante este tiempo, el Festival de Jazz se ha posicionado como un gran evento musical del destino, pero sobre todo se ha convertido en una gran atracción de la Riviera Maya. Esto es parte del compromiso del ofrecer una experiencia inolvidable para quienes nos visitan, ofreciendo la oportunidad de disfrutar durante 3 días no sólo de todas las bondades y atractivos del destino, sino también de excelente música que deleita los oídos de los asistentes.</p>
<p>El festival dará inicio el jueves 24 de noviembre contando con la presencia de Natalia Lafourcade, artista talentosa, atrevida e irreverente, quien ha sabido defender su insolencia musical para componer melodías honestas y sin catálogo. Ganadora de premios MTV y nominada al Grammy Latino. La invitación que le hiciera la Big Band Jazz de México a participar con ellos en un concierto, la llevó a formar su propia banda de jazz con la cual hizo una temporada de presentaciones en la Ciudad de México. La frescura y energía de Natalia Lafourcade serán un buen comienzo para festival.</p>
<p>La velada continuará con el tecladista y compositor de Filadelfia, Jeff Lorber un gran exponente del jazz fusión, un movimiento que mezcla el jazz tradicional con ritmos y elementos de rock, R&amp;B, funk y sonidos electrónicos.</p>
<p>El cierre de la primera noche del festival será a cargo de un magnífico exponente del R&amp;B, rock y jazz, Randy Brecker, trompetista originario de Filadelfia, reconocido por acompañar a grandes figuras artísticas mundialmente reconocidos desde James Taylor, Bruce Springsteen, Frank Sinatra, Steely Dan y Frank Zappa.</p>
<p>El  segundo día dará inicio con un velo de nostalgia y recuerdos que invadirán el ya tradicional escenario sede de Playa Mamitas, en el cual Enrique y Fernando Toussaint en compañía de Enrique Pat rendirán homenaje a la trayectoria de uno de los mejores músicos y compositores más importantes del jazz y la música en México: Eugenio Toussaint.</p>
<p>La noche sigue para encontrarnos con la presentación de Jon Anderson, vocalista de la legendaria banda de rock progresivo Yes. En el verano de 1968, Anderson se unió a un grupo llamado Mabel Greer’s Toyshop, que también lo formaban el bajista Chris Squire y el guitarrista Peter Banks.</p>
<p>Stanley Clarke leyenda de la música y ganador del Grammy a Mejor Álbum de Jazz Contemporáneo 2011 cerrará la segunda noche asegurando una velada muy especial. Artista, intérprete, compositor, director, arreglista, productor y compositor de música para cine, uno de los más célebres bajistas en el mundo con más de 36 años de carrera.</p>
<p>El sábado 26 de noviembre, la noche de cierre de la novena edición del Festival de Jazz de la Riviera Maya, dará inicio con la presencia de Alex Otaola, reconocido músico que ha sido parte de agrupaciones mexicanas como Santa Sabina, la Barranca y San Pascualito Rey.</p>
<p>Otaola, quien a lo largo de 15 años de carrera profesional se ha presentado en los principales foros y festivales del país, y en ciudades importantes como Nueva York, Chicago, Los Ángeles, Toulouse, Berlín, Dublín, Madrid, Barcelona, Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto e Hiroshima, ahora hace gala de su presencia en este festival.</p>
<p>Para cerrar este magno evento hace presencia Richard Bona, un músico que defiende su concepto de música universal: generosa y accesible para todos. Nació en la pequeña población de Minta, en Camerún. Bona, encuentra en sus instrumentos la fluidez necesaria para mostrar sus composiciones naturales, lo que hace único a este reconocido instrumentista que toma sus composiciones de lugares y estilos muy distintos; África, el jazz y la fusión.</p>
<p>Los ritmos inigualables de Los Yellowjackets finalizarán la novena edición del Festival de Jazz de la Riviera Maya. Lanzaron en 1981 su primer trabajo de estudio, y desde entonces se han mantenido en constante actividad, grabando más de una veintena de discos y con giras por diversos rincones del mundo. Ahora, conmemoran sus 30 años juntos, como grupo de jazz fusión.</p>
<p>A los aficionados al jazz, al igual que a los amantes de la música en general, se le obsequiará la oportunidad de tener la extraordinaria experiencia de ver y oír a esos maestros tocando bajo las estrellas sobre una de las playas privilegiadas de Playa del Carmen, Playa Mamitas, como acústica el sonido de las olas del Caribe rompiendo sobre la arena.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Offered at “Beyond All Inclusive, Beyond All Compare” Resort &#8211; <a href="http://rivieramaya.grandvelas.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Grand Velas Riviera Maya</strong></a></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Riviera Maya (April 11, 2011) – Now available from the latest and most sophisticated iteration of the ultra-luxury, all-inclusive resort experience in the Caribbean, Grand Velas Riviera Maya recently unveiled a new Sake Menu at its Asian-inspired <a href="http://rivieramaya.grandvelas.com/html/quintana-roo-mx-restaurants.asp"><strong>Sen Lin restaurant</strong></a><strong>.</strong> The restaurant, which finds an ideal balance between the most modern and ancient of Asian cuisine, offers both hot and cold sake – all made from fermented rice by hand. Flavors include cinnamon, vanilla, dried fruit, plum with ginger, the tra ditional anise as well as a creamy peanut and lemongrass.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Sake, commonly drank as part of spiritual rituals in Japan in small ceramic or glass cups, is the ideal accompaniment to a new selection of handmade Kogata No Kanki (petit fours), such as lychees filled with foam and gold leaf and Hazelnut truffle with ginger and coconut milk infusion with rice, that complement the diners’ culinary journey to the East.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><a href="http://rivieramaya.grandvelas.com/html/quintana-roo-mx-restaurants.asp" target="_blank">Sen Lin</a></strong> is founded on the culinary traditions of northeast and southwest Asia including China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Malaysia, Cambodia and Thailand. At the helm of the restaurant is Chef Antonio Cortaza whose 12 years of culinary experience have taken him across Asia creating the foundation for his avant garde Asian cuisine that plays on new textures and original presentations with the traditional ingredients.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1408" title="Sen lin Restaurant" src="http://engrivieramaya.grandvelas.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Sen-lin-Restaurant1.bmp" alt="Sen lin Restaurant" width="606" height="281" />Designed by Mexico’s lauded Velas Ruiz Architecture, Sen Lin offers authentic Asian decor indoors and outdoor views from the terrace of the Yucatan’s lush jungle setting. Signature dishes include Kurobuta pork medallions stuffed with seasonal fruit, marinated duck in 10 spices served with warm plum sauce, Cornish rock hens with three types of curry, seafood soup with spicy coconut, and warm lobster slices dipped in creamy Masago sauce. Open to non-hotel guests as well, the restaurant features a seven-course tast ing menu priced at $1650 pesos (approx. $140 USD) per person and appetizers starting at $19 and entrees at $39. All food is included in the nightly rate for hotel guests. Sen Lin serves from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. daily, and reservations are required.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Sen Lin is located at Grand Velas Riviera Maya, an all-suites and spa resort just 40 miles south of Cancun International Airport and five minutes from Playa del Carmen.

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Aguas</strong> <strong>Frescas:</strong> A Mexican favorite with a new twist from Food Blogger Matt Armendariz</p>
<p>Food Blogger, photographer, cookbook author and food stylist Matt Armendariz shares his unique recipes for Aguas Frescas, a traditional refreshing drink found on nearly every street corner and in every restaurant in Mexico. Matt will soon be at <a href="http://velasresorts.com/files/foodbloggercamp/index.html" target="_blank"><strong>Grand Velas Riviera Maya for Food Blogger&#8217;s Camp 2011.</strong></a> The camp will feature expert seminars lead by professional food bloggers and food photographers, culinary demonstrations, wine and tequila tastings, amazing food and more.<br />
 <br />
We have to agree with Matt, the <strong>Pineapple Ginger Agua Fresc</strong>a is our favorite too!<br />
 <br />
Here&#8217;s Matt&#8217;s Recipe:<br />
<strong><br />
Ginger Simple Syrup</strong>3/4 cup sugar<br />
3/4 cup water<br />
3 pieces of fresh ginger cut into coins<br />
Bring water and sugar to a boil and then add the pieces of ginger. Remove from heat and let cool completely. Strain and discard the ginger.</p>
<p> <strong>For the Drink:</strong><br />
4 cups fresh pineapple with 2-4 cups of water to blend<br />
8-10 cups of water</p>
<p>Puree the fruit and water in batches and then strain to remove any seeds or pulp. You can use a fine sieve or cheesecloth and you’ll want to get as much solids out of the liquid. Add the simple syrup to the strained liquid and then dilute with 8 to 10 cups of water. At this point you can adjust the sugar and water levels to your liking. Serve over plenty of ice and enjoy immediately.</p>

Among those featured was Cocina de Autor, the Grand Velas Riviera Maya restaurant by renowned chefs Mikel Alonso and Bruno Oteiza, who delight with their Basque-Mexican cuisine: an original form of blending classic flavors of the peninsula with traditional regional cuisine.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The list was based on the reviews of the magazine&#8217;s experts in the culinary arts, who not only took into account the flavor of each dish, but put quality, ambiance and excellent service to the test.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> Congratulations to Cocina de Autor and Grand Velas Riviera Maya on this important recognition!</p>
