Macario Martínez is a singer-songwriter who became an overnight sensation and is poised to be the next great “Música Mexicana” superstar. With a story that could have come straight out of a movie, Macario became an overnight sensation after a viral TikTok promoting his single “sueña lindo, corazón” reminded an entire country that the world is full of talent and dreams to chase. His powerful story has already taken him and his music to Mexico’s most important stages, and his hit single now has accumulated over 21 million streams on Spotify and the official video has reached over 1 million views on YouTube. After his viral moment, Macario showcased his talent for some of Mexico’s biggest crowds at iconic festivals like Monterrey’s Festival Tecate Pal Norte and Mexico City’s Vive Latino, where he also shared a stage with local icons Little Jesus and Porter. In these shows, Macario captured the hearts of crowds and proved that “sueña lindo, corazón” is just one of many great songs in his growing repertoire. Before he found his audience, Macario had already released an EP and an album as an independent artist; both have received critical acclaim after surfacing to the mainstream. “He has emerged as a working-class folk hero.” - Wall Street Journal “'Hey, destiny don’t be cruel,' Macario sings in one of his not-yet viral singles.

Xscape, an R&B group from Atlanta, Georgia, was formed in 1992 with members Tameka “Tiny” Cottle, Kandi Burruss, LaTocha Scott, and Tamika Scott. Originally a quintet, they became a quartet after Tamera Coggins-Wynn’s departure in 1993. Producer Jermaine Dupri discovered them, signing them to his So So Def label. Their 1993 debut album, Hummin’ Comin’ at ‘Cha, went platinum, launching hits like “Just Kickin’ It.” Their follow-ups, "Off the Hook" (1995) and "Traces of My Lipstick" (1998), produced hits like “Who Can I Run To?” and “My Little Secret.” After disbanding in 1998, members pursued solo careers—Burruss became a successful songwriter, penning hits for TLC. Xscape reunited briefly in 2005 and again in 2017, performing at the BET Awards and Essence Festival. Burruss opted out of new music, leading Tiny, LaTocha, and Tamika to form XSCAP3, releasing the "Here for It" EP in 2018. In 2021, Xscape faced SWV in a Verzuz battle, reviving interest in their music. The Bravo series SWV & Xscape: The Queens of R&B followed in 2023. Despite lineup changes, the group continues to perform, cementing their legacy in R&B.

Producer Lorne Michaels has said he is looking to shake things up ahead of SNL's 51st season, which starts Oct. 4.

Culinary Historians of San Diego will present “Inventing the Flying Meal - The Early Days of Food in Flight,” featuring Richard Foss, at 10:30 am May 18, in the Neil Morgan Auditorium of the San Diego Central Library, 330 Park Blvd, San Diego. Aircraft present the most challenging cooking environment that has ever existed, but cooks and engineers rose to the challenge. Zeppelins, flying boats, and some airliners featured meats roasted inflight and sauces made from scratch. Some strange things were tried, including cooking with charcoal, alcohol stoves, and the heat of the engines. Refrigeration was another problem, and even trays with precooked meals present challenges in transport and storage. After this lecture, you’ll marvel that any meal can be created in flight, much less a good one. Richard Foss has been writing professionally since 1986 when he started reviewing restaurants for a Los Angeles newspaper. He has contributed to over forty different publications, including the Encyclopedia of World Food Cultures and the Oxford Companion to Sweets. Richard has taught culinary history in extension programs, done lecture tours in the US, Australia, and New Zealand, been a culinary consultant for museums, and is on the board of Culinary Historians of Southern California. His book on the history of rum was published in 2012. “Food in the Air and Space” was released in December 2014. Foss is the Executive Director of Collage: A Place for Art and Culture, a nonprofit arts center located in San Pedro, California. Stay Connected on Facebook and Instagram
