What makes you feel free?Feeling good with my life and soul. Believing in my artwork, while keeping a humble attitude towards my achievements. Being a self-independent woman also brings me lots of joy!

What worries you? My country’s state of mind worries me very much. All the killing and hate that has been growing between Puerto Ricans. I wish we could overcome this moment of social illness and become better, respectful human beings.

Your favorite film?I have a few on the list: The Last Samurai, Irreversible, La Teta Asustada, The Triplets of Belleville, Princess Mononoke, among others…

Favorite musician, group, song/album, or combination thereof? I gotta’ admit I love to dance reggaeton hahaha! … salsa, merengue, bachata. Of course Calle 13 is on the list. But there are also a few Indie-bands I love, like: The Whitest Boy Alive, Peter Bjorn and John, Mike Snow, Radiohead, etc. Steel Pulse and Bad Brains are a must! I also have a passion for big band music, Frank Sinatra, and punk rock.

Your drug of choice? Life, and lots of toxic painting varnish…hahaha! I am definitely a cigarette hater, that’s a slow death.

Who inspires you right now?Artists that have a concept involving social change, or well-thought, site specific installations. Creative people, from various backgrounds, also inspire my life. As long as they are producing good quality work, and carry a positive vision towards life and people.

What do you think your purpose is on earth?As a female artist, I feel a great commitment towards my country’s art development, and the generations to come. I always do my best in every piece and/or project because my artwork is to be enjoyed by the public.

What do you love about your city and what do you hate about it?My love and hate relationship with NYC is endless. I do hate the winter, but I have learned to love this city because it has given me so much: many friends, important art collectors, awesome art shows, creative energy, and the opportunity to live off my artwork. What would you like to come back as in your next life? A komodo dragon. That way I can chill all day in the island. Plus, it’s my favorite animal.

A quote to live by or personal motto? “How many cares one loses when one decides not to be something but to be someone.” Coco Chanel

What is Soul? I only know that if you’re a backstabber, you have no soul.

S o f i a M a l d o n a d o

¿Qué te hace sentir libre? Sintiendo me bien con mi vida y mi alma. Creyendo en mi trabajo artístico, mientras mantengo una actitud humilde encanto a mis logros. ¡Siendo una mujer independiente también me da mucha alegría!

¿Qué te preocupa? El estado de ánimo de mi país me preocupa mucho. Toda la matanza y el odio que ha estado creciendo entre los puertor-riqueños. Ojala pudiéramos superar este momento socialmente enfermizo y ser seres humanos mejores y respetuosos.

¿Cuál es tu película favorita? Tengo varias en la lista: The Last Samurai, Irreversible, La Teta Asustada, The Triplets of Belleville, Princess Mononoke u otras.

¿Tienes algún músico, grupo, canción/álbum o combinación de estos favoritos? ¡Tengo que admitir me encanta bailar al reggaetón jajaja! … sal-sa, merengue, bachata. Por supuesto Calle 13 está en la lista. También hay varios de Indie-bandas que me encantan, como: The Whitest Boy Alive, Peter Bjorn and John, Mike Snow, Radio-head, etc. ¡Steel Pulse y Bad Brains son esenciales! Tengo una pasión por la música “big band”, Frank Sinatra y punk rock.

¿Tú droga preferida? La vida, y muchas toxinas del barniz de las pinturas…jajaja! De-finitivamente odio los cigarrillos, es una muerte lenta.

¿En este momento quién te inspira? Los artistas que tienen un concepto que involucra cambio social o instalaciones bien pensadas, específicamente para un lugar.

¿Qué piensas es tu propósito en la tierra? Como artista femenina siento que tengo un gran compromiso con el desarrollo del arte en el país y para las generaciones por venir. Siempre doy lo mejor en las piezas y/o proyectos porque mi arte es para ser apreciado por el público.

¿Qué te encanta y que odias de este pueblo? Mi relación de amor y odio es infinito con NYC. Odio los invier-nos, pero he aprendido a amar la cuidad porque me da tanto: mis amigos, importante coleccionistas, increíbles muestras de arte, energía creativa y la oportunidad de vivir del arte.

¿En qué forma quieres regresar en tu próxima vida? En un dragón komodo. Así, puedo estar relajando en la isla todo el día. Además es mi animal favorito.

¿Tienes alguna citación o dicho personal? “Cuantas preocupaciones uno pierde cuanod uno decide no ser algo pero ser alguien”. Coco Chanel

¿Qué es alma? Solo sé que si eres traicionera/o no tienes alma.

Sofia did the cover art for Missiles del Racimo, and drew portraits that were used in the introduction for three of the four starring skaters. She also hand painted a skateboard that appears on the intro and the interludes of the movie. Sofia is pictured above in Villa Pesquera, Isabela, by Rachel Tanner where she painted the murals shown.

Cada pieza está forrada y con terminaciones bien atractivas.Recientemente presentó su primera colección titulada “Agua Salá”. Esta colección estuvo inspirada en su pasión por las olas del mar. Influenciada en un estilo retro y “está dirigida a la mujer que disfruta la magia que produce el contacto con el agua salá”, explica Idalia.

Production is currently taking place in Argentina, utilizing the

best elastics combined with italian lycra, which feels amazing on the

skin and is very resilient, plus they are double lined for extra

reinforcement” comments Zoraida. “There are two favorites among

the surfer girls. The monokini, which is a sexier version of a full piece

suit that exposes the entire back so you can keep a bikini like tan line

and the bottoms are pretty small, usually the more fabric the suit has

the more bunched up and uncomfortable it tends to be. Lisie

Gonzalez and Natty Perez love the Colaless cut, it is a

brazilian style tanga. The front is wider, resembling the boy short cut

and the backside is smaller than the conventional bathing suit. Year

after year we continue producing this model because it definitely

doesnʼt move out of place, it is our top seller on the island.

LIR: Natty, your favorite Bikini is the Colaless model by Natty

Swimwear, I heard you have it in every color! What is the best thing

about this bikini while surfing?

NP: The best thing about any bikini is the fit and Natty surf bikiniʼs

have a unique and sexy fit. Zoraida Pagan, founder and designer of

Natty Swimwear, is a surfer herself, so she knows what active girls

need in the water (fit, comfort and durability). When your in the water

you donʼt want to be worrying about your bikini falling off, you just

want to surf, Natty Swimwear does that for me. I am proud to be part

of Natty Surf Team!

LIR: What suggestions can you give girls who are looking for a

sporty swim suit that looks good?

NP: Always try it on and never by something you donʼt feel

comfortable in. You definitely donʼt want to get something too big

because the water tends to drag it off, especially while surfing; the

smaller and tighter the better. Tight bikinis donʼt move at all, so you

can concentrate on surfing, plus no bad tan lines and they look really

cute!

SHIPWRECK BAR and GRILL

Taste

Una de mis cosas favoritas al escribir el perfil de un restaurante, es escuchar las historias de las personas envueltas y en como su restaurante

llego a ser. He escuchado historias de gran éxito, de fracaso y de sueños hechos realidad. También hay momentos cuando los sueños son destruidos. Pero con mucho trabajo y un poco de suerte, esos sueños pueden ser reconstruidos en algo mejor. Cuando llegas al restaurante Shipwreck Bar & Grill una de las primeras cosas que te encuentras es el mástil del velero Scarlet orgullosamente erigido. Ella estalló contra las rocas después de haberse soltado de sus amarras durante un oleaje grande. Después de enterarse que no se podía arreglar, los dueños la desmontaron y la usaron como parte de la decoración. Así fue que surgió este nombre muy adecuado para su restaurante, El Shipwreck Bar & Grill.

El restaurante es un tesoro ubicado en la marina de Rincón. El Shipwreck tiene asientos afuera bajo techo en una atmosfera relajada y cómoda. Sabes que estás en las islas cuando la brisa pasa por el comedor y las olas se escuchan rompiendo de fondo. Súmale una bebida de la barra y hasta Jimmy Buffet estaría celoso.

Cuando fui a cenar ahí recientemente un amigo, quien es el mejor camarero de la isla, me dio la bienvenida. Ya sospechaba que esto iba ser algo muy especial y mientras continuaba la noche mis sospechas fueron confirmadas. La comida estaba espectacular. Para empezar, los jalapeños poppers, nada de los que compran en los mercados ya hechos que todos usan por ahí. No, estos son my diferente e inolvidable. Y si te atreves añádale uno de sus piques hechos en la casa. Cuando el cosquilleo de la lengua se detenga prueba el calamar frito dadas vueltas en salsa roja, los mejillones con ajo y vino blanco, los pincho de camarón. Y como si no fuera suficiente, el atun salteado y ensalada de algas con una vinagreta de jengibre y tamari, el cual fue preparado perfectamente y define la palabra: delicioso. Hay otras ensaladas para elegir al igual que wraps, hamburguesas, alitas, churrascos, pastas y hasta un pincho de cerdo a la parrilla con salsa de tzaziki. Usan un condimento específico, hecho en la casa, para algunas de sus carnes. Los mariscos son impecablemente frescos y las pastas cocinadas y condimentadas a la perfección. Seguramente cuando se perdió el velero fue un mal día, pero a mi parecer, Scarlet sigue viva en el Shipwreck Bar & Grill. Ahora todos pueden disfrutar su tesoro de comidas deliciosas y servicio espectacular. Dicen por ahí, y no voy a mencionar nombres, pero es uno de los dueños, le gusta hacer dj tarde en las noches y la fiesta de Halloween, el 31 de octubre, es una ocasión a la que no puedes faltar. La Scarlet ya no navega pero aun trae alegría a muchos.

One of my favorite things about writing the restaurant profile is hearing the stories of the people and how their restaurants came to be.

I`ve heard stories of great success, of failure, and of dreams coming true. There are also times when dreams get shattered. But with hard work and a touch of luck, those dreams can be rebuilt into something much sweeter.

When you enter the Shipwreck Bar & Grill restaurant one of the first things you notice is the mast of the sailboat Scarlet standing there proudly. She crashed into the rocks after coming off her mooring on an early season big swell. After finding out that she was not worth fixing, the owners dismantled her and used some of her parts as décor. This is how a very fitting name came to be for their restaurant, The Shipwreck Bar & Grill.

The restaurant is the sailboat’s treasure that can only be found at the marina in Rincón. Shipwreck has outside covered seating and a very relaxing, comfortable feel. You know you are in the islands with the breeze blowing through the dining area and the sound of waves breaking in the background. Add a drink from their fully stocked bar and even that Jimmy Buffet guy would be jealous.

When I went to have dinner there recently I was greeted by an old friend who just happens to be one of the best waiters on the island. I had a hunch I was in for a treat and as the night went on my suspicions were confirmed. The food is wonderful, take for example the jalapeño poppers, wait one second if your thinking about those store bought pre-made things so many people use. No, these are very different and unforgettable. If you really want to be brave, add one of their house made hot sauces. Once your tongue stops tingling try the crispy calamari tossed in a red sauce, the mussels with garlic and white wine, the bamboo skewered shrimp, or the seared tuna and seaweed salad with a tamari ginger vinaigrette which was perfectly prepared and defines the word: delicious. There are other salads available, as well as, wraps, burgers, fish tacos, wings, steaks, pastas, and even a grilled pork kabob with tzaziki sauce. They use a signature rub for their meats. The seafood is impeccably fresh and the pastas are cooked and sauced perfectly. It must have been a really bad day to find out you lost your sailboat, but as far as I am concerned the Scarlet lives on at Shipwreck Bar & Grill. Now everyone can share her treasures of delicious food and great service. The word on the street is that someone, I won`t mention any names but he`s one of the owners, likes to play dj later in the night and the Halloween party on October 31st is an occasion you don`t want to miss. The Scarlet may not be sailing anymore, but she still makes a lot of people happy.

Miguel “Tito” Rodríguez and Adolfo “Fito” González Duet

Adiam condimentum Purus, in consectetuer Proin in sapien. Fusce urna magna,neque eget lacus. Maecenas felis nunc, aliquam ac, consequat vitae, feugiat at, blandit vitae, euismod vel.

Playing music together since they were kids, Miguel and Adolfo have a connection while performing that

is woven as tight as the layers of sound produced by the string instruments each one plays. Miguel plays classical guitar or violin and Adolfo plays the acoustic bass or guitar. Both musicians attended “Es-cuela Libre de Musica Ramos Antonini” in Mayaguez, and Miguel has his Bachelor’s Degree in Music from the Interamerican University of San German. They both went their separate ways for some time, Tito played the guitar with Mattador and Sol d’Menta, while Fito was playing the bass with Vivanativa, Skapulario and Millo Tor-res. In 2010, they reunited to start this new project. “It was natural to play together,” admits Adolfo. The Duet sounds like a Jazz/Rock Brew, with hints of Jazz mas-ters like Wes Montgomery or John Coltrane and a touch of progressive rock bands like Rush. And when Miguel picks up the violin

the depth of enjoyment turns in to a kind of musical therapy, transcending the being to new emotional heights!

You can catch this Duet playing at One-Ten-Thai in Aguadilla or Calypso Café in Rincón on the weekends.

Tocando música juntos desde su ni-ñez, la conexión fuerte que tiene Miguel y Adolfo durante sus inter-

pretaciones puede ser comparada a las capas de sonido tejidas perfectamente, producidas por sus instrumentos de cuer-da. Miguel en la guitarra clásica o el violín y Adolfo en el bajo y la guitarra acústica. Ambos músicos atendieron a la Escuela Libre de Música Ramos Antonini en May-agüez, y Miguel recibió un Bachillerato en música de la Universidad Interamericana en San Germán. Luego, Miguel tocaba la guitarra con Sol d’ Menta y Mattador mientras tanto Adolfo tocaba el bajo con

Vivanativa, Skapulari o y Millo Torres. En el 2010, se juntaron para comenzar este nuevo proyecto. “Fue natural tocar nueva-mente juntos”, comentó Adolfo. La música es un equilibro perfecto entre el jazz y el rock. Sobre salen notas con influencia de músicos como Wes Montgomery o John Coltrane y un toque de grupos de rock pro-gresivos como, Rush. Y cuando Miguel se ajusta el violín la profundidad de la música se transforma en terapia musical, transpor-tando a la audiencia a nuevos niveles de emoción. Puedes ver el Dúo en One-Ten-Thai en Aguadilla o en el Calypso Café en Rincon los fines de semana.

Zo Ann Stanley is a Yoga instructor and owner of Aguadilla Storage

What makes you feel free? Waking up every morn-ing on this incredibly beautiful island and knowing I have the free will to make each day the best day of my life!

What worries you? Worry? What’s the point? I don’t do that.

Your favorite film? It’s a toss-up between Casa-blanca and Pulp Fiction. Crazy extremes I know, but it depends on my mood.

Favorite musician, group, song/album, or combi-nation thereof? I love it all! I listen to everything from rock to country, reggae to opera. I was raised on country music, but grew up during the best years of rock and roll. And who doesn’t like Bob Marley or Pavarotti! The message is what’s most important to me. I avoid anything with a negative message.

Your drug of choice? The redder the wine the bet-ter!

Who inspires you right now? I would have to say that my students, my teachers, and my personal practice of yoga help me find inspiration inside myself.

What do you think your purpose is on earth? It would have to be teaching. I feel most alive when I’m able to share my passion with others. It just always feels right.

What do you love about your city and what do you hate about it? Definitely love its location. We are surrounded by beautiful beaches and green mountains. Ugh…as a business owner I hate the high taxes!

What would you like to come back as in your next life? Mankind’s karma isn’t looking too good right now. Maybe I’ll choose to stay in the spiritual realm while it gets sorted out.

A quote to live by or personal motto? Suffering is only necessary until you realize that suffering is no longer necessary.

What is Soul? The energy that moves through the universe connecting everyone and everything.

Inside the Creative World of Maria Kuzmovich By Hannah Skye Griek

What makes you feel free?

Being outside in nature or in the ocean. I love looking around and seeing so many beautiful

things, it really is the definition of freedom to me. What worries you? Natural disasters. They are so unpredictable and scary. Your favorite film?There are too many to choose from. I love dramas and love stories, but also like a good laugh. I just recently watched Dinner with Schmucks and it was pretty funny.Favorite musician, group, song/album, or combination thereof? I am a huge Ben Harper fan, I think his music is amazing, I think he is a really creative artist and his music inspires me. I also like Cultura Profectica and Rise Against.Your drug of choice? Chocolate! Who inspires you right now? Carissa Moore, the current women’s world champion of surfing, she is amazing. I also have a strong belief in God and he inspires me every day in everything I do.What do you think your purpose is on earth? To share love and happiness with others. I feel happiest when others are happy as well. I know I always appreciate a friendly person

or a positive attitude.What do you love about your city and what do you hate about it?I love how laid back and relaxed Isabela is. It is the perfect tempo for my life. It has enough of everything I need. I don’t hate anything about it, but I do wish we all recycled more.What would you like to come back as in your next life?I think I’d still want to be a human being. Maybe be born in Australia, that would be pretty neat. A quote to live by or personal motto? All things are possible through Christ who strengthens me. Any time I doubt something or come to an obstacle in my life I think of these words and it always helps me move forward.What is Soul? I think it is what makes us who we are. Whatever you are passionate about or truly care about shows some of your soul but only when you really connect with someone or something can you fully see their soul. That’s why soul mates are so special.

En el Mundo Artistico de Maria Kuzmovich By Hannah Skye Griek

¿Qué te hace sentir libre? Estando afuera en la naturaleza o en el océano. Me encanta mirar a mi alrededor y ver tantas cosas bellas, realmente es la definición de libertad. ¿Qué te preocupa? Desastres naturales. Son tan impre-decibles y me dan miedo. ¿Cuál es tu película favorita? Son demasiadas para escoger. Me en-cantan los dramas y las historias de amor, pero también me gusta reír a carcajadas. Recientemente vi Dinner with Schmucks y estuvo muy graciosa. ¿Tienes algún músico, grupo, canción/álbum o combinación de estos favoritos? Soy fanática de Ben Harper, la música dél es alucinante, es un artista creativo y su música me inspira. También me gusta Cultura Profética y Rise Against. ¿Tú droga preferida? ¡Chocolate! ¿En este momento quién te inspira? Carissa Moore, la actual campeona mun-dial de surfing, ella es increíble. También

tengo una gran fe en Dios y El me inspira cada día en todo lo que hago. ¿Qué piensas es tu propósito en la tierra? Compartir amor y alegria con otros. Soy más alegre cuando otros están alegres también. Sé que siempre aprecio una persona amistosa o con actitud positiva. ¿Qué te encanta y que odias de este pueblo? Me encanta Isabela porque es tan tranqui-lo y relajado. Es el tempo perfecto para mi vida. Tiene suficiente de todo lo que necesito. No odio nada de este lugar, aunque me gustaría que reciclaran más. ¿En qué forma quieres regresar en tu próxima vida? Creo que me gustaría seguir sien-do un ser humano. Pero quizás nacida en Australia, eso sería nítido. ¿Tienes alguna citación o dicho personal? Todo es posible a través de Dios

quien me da fuerza. Si alguna vez dudo algo o me encuentro un obstáculo en mi vida, pienso en estas palabras y me ayuda seguir hacia adelante. ¿Qué es alma? Creo que es lo que nos hace quien somos. Las cosas que te apa-sionan o realmente importan muestran un poco de tu alma, pero solo cuando real-mente conectas con algúien o algo podrás realmente ver su alma. Es por eso que al-mas gemelas son tan especiales.

What makes you feel free? T2: Having creative freedom from being my own boss at Banana Dang, and answering only to my customers—who have improved the shop from menu input to marketing.What worries you? Mario: Maintaining the highest quality possible is my #1 goal every day.Your favorite film? Mario: The Matrix and Brazil. T2: Sideways.Favorite musician, group, song/album or combination thereof? T2: David Bowie, Echo & the Bunnymen, Leonard Cohen. I listen for lyrics more than beats.Your drug of choice? Mario: A perfect espresso. T2: Caffeine and sunshine.Who inspires you right now? Mario: Everyone involved in the specialty coffee chain—from farmers to pickers and coffee roasters. What do you think your purpose is on earth? Mario: To be an enterprising worker that contributes to the development of coffee as “culinary art”.What do you love about your city and what do you hate about it? Mario: I love how the land meets the beautiful ocean and the people in the community of Rincón. What I don’t like is the air and noise pollution created by advertisers through loud speakers—they need to live in the 21st century and put their ads on the internet.What would you like to come back as in your next life? Mario: 10-time World Champion Pro-Surfer that owns and operates Banana Dang Coffee Bar. T2: Surprisingly, I’ve always been obsessed with people’s hair–so I’d like to be a hairstylist in my next life, for sure.A quote to live by, or personal motto? T2: Passion, motivation and dedication. If you have all three—you will always be employable. What is soul? Mario: Doing something that moves you to the core and touches others. Einstein said it best, soul is “living with all of one’s goodness and righteousness”. T2: Pouring your heart into everything you do—from beautiful latte art to respect for the craft.

¿Qué te hace sentir libre? T2: La libertad creativa que me da ser mi propia jefa en Banana Dang, replicándole solo a mis clientes, los cuales han ayudado mejorar nuestro negocio desde el menú al marketing. ¿Qué te preocupa? Mario: Manterner la calidad mas alta posible es mi meta #1 todos los días.¿Cuál es tu película favorita? Mario: The Matriz y Brazil. T2: Sideways.¿Tienes algún músico, grupo, canción/álbum o combinación de estos favoritos? David Bowie, Echo & the Bunnymen, Leonard Cohen. Me gustan más las palabras que la musica. ¿Tu droga preferida? Mario: El espresso perfecto. T2: La cafeína y el sol.¿Quién te inspira? Mario: Todos las personas envueltas en la cadena de café especiales—desde los cultivadores a los recogedores a los que tuestan el café. ¿Qué piensas es tu propósito en la tierra? Mario: Ser un trabajador emprendedor que contribuye al desarrollo del café como “arte culinario”.¿Qué te encanta y que odias de tu pueblo? Mario: Amo como la tierra encuentra el océano hermoso y la gente en la comunidad de

Rincón. Lo que no me gusta es la contaminación del aire y el ruido que producen los vehículos a través de los altavoces con anuncios. Ellos necesitan vivir en el siglo 21 y poner sus anuncios en el Internet. ¿En que te gustaría ser reencarnado? Mario: Surfista profesional 10 veces campeón mundial y propietario de Banana Dang Coffee Bar. T2: Sorprendentemente, siempre he obsesionado con el pelo de las personas, entonces me gustaría ser estilista en mi próxima vida. ¿Tienes alguna citación o dicho personal? T2: La pasión, el motivación y la dedicacion. Si tienes los tres—siempre serás empleable. ¿Qué es alma? Mario: Haciendo algo que te mueve profundamente y toca a otros. Einstein lo dijo perfecto el alma es, “viviendo con todo tu el bien y rectitud”. T2: Poniéndole todo tu corazón en todo lo que hagas—desde un hermoso latte artístico hasta el respeto por el oficio.

Rique Colón expresses his positive vision and a social-humanistic perspective of the world

Puerto Rican Guitarist-Singer-Songwriter, Rique Colón ex-presses his positive vision and a social-humanistic per-spective of the world that surrounds him, in a message of

respect for nature, utilizing fresh and profound melodies which are truly present in his particular style of ‘Chanova’ (an essence of Puerto Rican roots with Afro-Caribbean, Jazz and a very important touch of Bossa and Pop elements).

His passion for music led him to receive a Bachelor’s degree in classical music at the Interamerican University of Puerto Rico and later a Bachelor’s degree from the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts.

After graduation he returned to his homeland to produce and pres-ent his record Sentido Tropical, which was ranked seventh among the 20 best albums of 2006. Sentido Tropical also won best Latin album in the Independent Music Awards competition in the Unit-ed States, was a semifinalist in the category of Best Latin album award in the Independent Music World Series, and twice winner of the contest “Berklee sings in Spanish” presented at the Lunario’s National Amphitheatre in Mexico City.

Rique has performed in various venues around Puerto Rico, Miami, Boston, Croatia, Italy, and Mexico. He presented an educational tour of illustrated conferences commissioned by the Berklee Alum-ni Grant and a 2nd phase of this tour was sponsored by National Endowment for the Arts. He is currently preparing a 3rd phase of this educational tour to continue around the country which will be sponsored by the Puerto Rican Fund for Cultural Affairs.

Rique presents his music in various formats. One of which is the Trio Experimental featuring Jeffrey Latten on bass and Leslie Lar-onga on drums. He also performs with various musicians in and around his hometown of Aguadilla, and also surrounding areas with percussionists Juan Carlos Aviles and Abraham Velázquez.
