I was born in Hawaii so that makes me a "Boricua-Hawaiiana" and very proud of it. Married to a wonderful man, Retired Naval Master Chief John A. Ortiz, mother of three great children, a proud grandmother of five+ and a adorable great-grand-daughter.
My program "Alma Latina" (Latin Soul)is the longest-running Latin music radio program in the Pacific.
You can now listen to the Alma Latina Radio Show on Sunday's on KWAI-K-108, 1080AM, from 1:00pm-4:00pm with your host "Nancy Ortiz".
I also own and manage "Alma Latina Productions", a Latin Entertainment Promotion/Event Planning Company.
Alma Latina Productions, has played an important role in bringing to Hawaii many Salsa/Latin groups from Puerto Rico, New York, and California with much success.
To name a few; Yomo Toro, Costa Brava, Eddie Palmieri, Adalberto Santiago, Willie Colon, Marc Anthony,Larry Harlow's-- Latin Legends. World's Top Salsa DJ "Henry Knowles".
In addition, I have had the opportunity of working with other organizers/promoters as well in bringing to Hawaii other great acts; such as: Orquesta de la Luz, Tito Puente, Cubanisimo, Bobby Sanabria, Poncho Sanchez, Celia Cruz, Spanish Harlem Orquestra, Luisito Rosario, Johnny Polanco,Tiempo Libra, Tito Puente, Jr., Frankie Morales.
If Latin entertainment is what you need, then Alma Latina Productions is most likely the company who can help you get it. We believe in promoting all of our local talent here in Hawaii and abroad, whenever possible.
Our company continues to promote Latin/Salsa entertainment at the different shopping malls; Arts & Performing Centers, University's and other hotel venues.
