NASHVILLE, Tenn., May 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- La Música Cura Presented by Amazon Music and HCA Florida Healthcare, was an evening celebrating the healing power of music and the mission of Musicians On Call (MOC), a nonprofit that brings live and recorded music to the bedsides of patients, families and caregivers in healthcare environments. This vibrant event, held in Miami, spotlighted MOC's impact in South Florida and the champions who have helped the organization reach over 35,000 people locally. The night raised over $300,000 to help MOC further its mission locally and nationwide.
'For over 15 years Musicians On Call volunteers have brought unforgettable moments of joy through music to patients throughout Miami, and this night was all about celebrating the talented people who have made those moments happen. Our programs have been so impactful because of supporters like our honorees Michelle Frohlich-Klinger, Fonseca, Beth Behr and Bryant Del Toro who believe so passionately in our mission,' said Musicians On Call President & CEO Pete Griffin. 'It was an honor to recognize their contributions and bring hundreds of people together in the name of the healing power of music. We're thankful for partners like Amazon Music and HCA Florida Healthcare who helped us make the whole event possible.'
Nine-time Latin GRAMMY winner Fonseca received the Music Heals Golden Ukulele, which honors an individual who embodies MOC's mission through their dedication, compassion, and service. In a touching and surprising moment, his longtime friend and award-winning musician Juanes presented him with the award. His live set of iconic hits moved and inspired the audience. Additionally, Raphael Fernandez with the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) presented him with a Certification Plaque recognizing his significant contributions to philanthropic and social initiatives.
Michelle Frohlich-Klinger was honored at the event with the Leadership in Music Golden Ukulele for her instrumental role in launching MOC in South Florida in 2009. Her leadership established impactful programs at Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital, South Miami Hospital, and Holtz Children's Hospital at Jackson Memorial, inspiring hundreds of volunteers to join the program and creating a lasting legacy in the community.
The evening also featured moving live performances, beginning with MOC Volunteer Musician Bryant Del Toro's soulful cover of George Michael's 'Faith,' which had the audience singing along. PJ Kids (Periko & Jessi Leon) delivered an energetic set, including their empowering anthem 'Yo Soy Fuerte', featuring their 4-year-old son Milo on drums. Cuban singer/songwriter Lena Burke added to the magic with heartfelt renditions of her well-known Latin hits on piano.
Musicians On Call recognized two exceptional volunteers for their contributions, Beth Behr and Bryant Del Toro. Beth Behr, honored with the Vivek J. Tiwary Volunteer Guide Award, has supported MOC's Bedside programs and volunteer community from the very beginning. Bryant Del Toro, recipient of the Michael Solomon Volunteer Musician Award, has performed for nearly 5,000 patients and caregivers over 15 years, serving as an ambassador for MOC's mission.

People Are Laughing At This Incredibly Awkward And Hypocritical Elon Musk Interview Moment
Elon Musk appears to be back doing his *real* job at SpaceX after that 130 day stunt with DOGE. He gave an interview with CBS Sunday Morning, and a clip of him being very uncomfortable is going viral: Musk's interview went great: Reporter: What is your thought on the ban of foreign students, you were one of those kids, right? Musk: 'I think we want to stick to talking about spaceships.' Reporter: I was told that any topic is good. Musk: 'Well no.' — CALL TO ACTIVISM (@CalltoActivism) June 1, 2025 CalltoActivism/sTwitter: @CalltoActivism "I noticed that all of your businesses involve a lot of components, a lot of parts. Do the tariffs and the trade wars affect any of this?" the reporter asked. "Uhh, you know, tariffs always affect things a little bit," he responded. Then, the reporter asked about Trump's ban of foreign students. In case you didn't know, the Trump administration has tried to stop new student visas and prevent top universities, like Harvard, from accepting foreign students. Related: A Republican's Response To A "Tax The Rich" Chant At His Town Hall Is Going Viral "I'm wondering what your thought is on the ban of foreign students—I mean, you were one of those kids, right?" the reporter asked. "Yeah, I think we want to stick to the subject of the day, which is spaceships, as opposed to presidential policies," Elon replied. "Well, I was told anything was good," the reporter said back. "Well, uh, no," Elon replied. People aren't loving his deflection, but they are loving his squirm.

"Talked about policies for months, leaves the administration and now he doesn't want to speak on it," one person pointed out.

This first campaign marks the start of an exciting new relationship between Buchanan's and Rauw, kicking off the summer with vibrant content, bold flavors, and unique IRL moments that unite 200%ers over music, cocktails, and the ultimate grilling debate: Who brings the best flavor on the grill? NEW YORK, June 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Buchanan's Blended Scotch Whisky is heating up the grill with the launch of its new creative campaign, Buchanan's Asados Unidos, inviting 200%ers and Latinos from all over to join the brand in celebrating the summer rhythm and flavor that make their carne asadas, parrilladas and barbecues so distinct and delicious. Together with Latin GRAMMY® Award-winning and 4x GRAMMY®-nominated global superstar Rauw Alejandro, Buchanan's is sparking up a flavorful cultural debate to determine who has the best asado. Experience the interactive Multimedia News Release here: Known for fusing sounds and bringing his own sazón to stages worldwide, Rauw is joining Buchanan's longstanding celebration and support of Latin Music – inspiring 200%ers to proudly share the rhythm and flavors that make their asados so unique, while proving that Buchanan's is the spirit that brings us all together at the table despite our differences on the grill. Whether you call it a carne asada, parrillada, or asado, the Buchanan's Asados Unidos campaign agrees that this Hispanic occasion has more sazón, bateria, and rhythm than others, so bring your flavorful traditions, energy, and beats to the grill this summer while enjoying a Buchanita cocktail. The new creative, developed by GALE rooted in the same embrace of culture and customs that inspired Rauw's latest No. 1 album and current Cosa Nuestra Tour, comes to life through a dynamic four-part video series featuring Rauw Alejandro and friends from Puerto Rico, Argentina, Colombia, and Mexico. Set against sunny backdrops, the series captures the real-life ways Latinos come together to enjoy bold flavors, family and friendship as the group grills, laughs and playfully tease one another over subtle cultural differences – like what music makes the best companion to grilling from Salsa, Merengue, Reggaeton or Bomba. Launching across digital platforms throughout the summer, the :15 video spots celebrate the distinct flavors and rhythm of 200% grilling traditions. "Desde mi niñez, Parrilladas siempre han sido parte de mi cultura y mi gente," says global superstar Rauw Alejandro. "Being the newest part of the Buchanan's familia and participating in the Asados Unidos campaign is special because it celebrates something very important to me – the way we come together. Whether it's called a barbecue, carne asada, parrillada, or asado, the heart is the same: sabor, música y comunidad. Stay tuned for what we're cooking up next!" "Rauw Alejandro's artistic vision and message behind 'Cosa Nuestra' are perfectly aligned with what we've always aimed to do with Buchanan's, and that is celebrate the vibrant duality and deep sense of community of 200%ers—those who are 100% Hispanic and 100% American," says Linda Lagos-Morales, Brand Director, Buchanan's Scotch Whisky. "This summer, Asados Unidos brings that spirit to life through the cultural cornerstone of the Asado—honoring the traditions, flavors and friendly debates that unite us around the grill. With Rauw Alejandro joining the Buchanan's familia, we're excited to show that no matter what you call it, the pride, passion and 200% spirit are what bring us together."
