Ricky Martin - GAY BLACK THUGS

Martin’s comfort level as a gay performer translates to his music

Ricky Martin is performing in San Diego this Sunday to end his successful tour to promote his first studio CD in two years,Musica+Alma+Sexo. It has been quite an exciting few months for Martin who had been in self exile for almost three years taking care of his twin sons Matteo and Valentino.

Musica+Alma+Sexodebuted at No. 1 on the Latin Billboard Chart and at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 200. It is the highest-debuting Spanish language album since Selena’s 1995 albumDreaming of You.

While Martin’s return to music was welcomed by his fans and the industry, it was almost overshadowed by the revelations in his book, Me. Released late last year, Martin lets it all hang out.

“The moment I sat down and held my children in my arms, I said enough is enough,” says Martin. “I need to tell the world what I’m about, my nature, because not doing so would be teaching my children how to lie. I didn’t want it to be, ‘At home, we’re one thing, but when we go out, we’re another.’”

Martin officially came out to his fans on his website in March of 2010, Martin said “Today is my day, this is my time, and this is my moment. These years in silence and reflection made me stronger and reminded me that acceptance has to come from within and that this kind of truth gives me the power to conquer emotions I didn’t even know existed … I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man. I am very blessed to be who I am.”

Those attending the final leg of Ricky Martin’s concert at Valley View Casino Center, the former Sports Arena, will be treated to the real Ricky Martin. His most recent CD Musica+Alma+Sexo has allowed Martin to truly be himself in music.

Billboard says “Martin’s comfort level translates to the music … it’s a fun album. While many songs carry a deeper meaning, it never supersedes the spirit of the music … “Lo Mejor de Mi Vida/The Best Thing About Me Is You” feels like a genuine expression of delight … the video portrays positivity and freedom from beginning to end.”

Many have watched Martin grow from a 12 year old member of boy band Menudo to an international pop star. However, Ricky Martin was on his own journey of self-discovery and acceptance, one that many of us have travelled. He has even become an advocate for same-sex marriage.

He told Larry King, “I can go to Spain. I have many friends in Spain. And get married. And make it very beautiful and symbolic. But … I (can’t) do it in the backyard of my house. I want to have that option. I don’t want to be a second class citizen anymore. I pay my taxes. Why can’t I have that right?”

Twin boys, his life partner Carlos Gonzalez, a hit CD and book, what more could Ricky Martin want? He is living la vida perfecta!
