Martin Lopez - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (255 words)
Martin Lopez (born in Sweden on May 20, 1978) is the drummer for the Swedish progressive death metal band Opeth.
Lopez's infrequent problems (such as a panic attack on Opeth's "Lamentations" tour) and diagnosis with blood poisoning are the cause of a rare disease which he has.
According to a recent interview [1] at fansite The Moor (http://www.mooropeth.com/), Lopez's future with the band is uncertain.
village voice > music > Ricky Martin; Jennifer Lopez; Chris Perez Band by Franklin Ibanez Soults (840 words)
Bronx-born beauty Jennifer Lopez hasn't scored as big yet, but that's not to say she hasn't gone far: On the 6 debuted in the Billboard top 10, and "If You Had My Love" bumped "Livin' La Vida Loca" down to No. 2 on the singles chart (both are platinum, natch).
Martin, Perez, and, to a lesser extent, Lopez make the sexiness signify by also luxuriating in the flip side of the Hot Latin cliché: the overripe, overwrought romanticism that has long been Hispanic music's gift to international pop.
Crucially, neither Martin, Lopez, nor Perez serves it straight up—they tease it into forms recognizable by a Stateside audience that still sees everything in plain shades of fl and white, with no distinct room for brown (yet).
