Bochinche refers to “gossip”. In this sense, we use it to mention HOLA members or Friends of HOLA who are getting acting, performance or similarly artistic gigs and/or recognition in the media. The names of HOLA members and Friends of HOLA are listed below in boldface. To see what other HOLA members are doing currently, click here.

Luis Salgado performed at the Cabaret Cares event Everlasting Love.

The event was a benefit for Help Is On The Way Today, and took place on Sunday, March 6, 2016 at The Metropolitan Room located in the Flatiron District of Manhattan.

  1. Just received a check for $500.

    Many times people don't believe me when I tell them about how much you can get by taking paid surveys online...
