Ricky Martin, Alex Rodriguez, Gloria Estefan & Chayanne Line Up For AOL Latino's Hispanic Heritage Month Celebration

NEW YORK (AOL) - AOL Latino celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month through extensive programming including commentary by Ricky Martin, Alex Rodriguez and Chayanne. The exclusive show, presented by Gloria Estefan, will highlight diversity, historical traditions and Latino community achievements on music, politics, arts, movies and sports. The programming will be available in Spanish through AOL Keyword: Mes de la Herencia Hispana and in English through KW: Hispanic Heritage Month.

"This month we proudly celebrate our legacy, which is inherited from our parents and grandparents who created a better future while writing the history of our community," says Estefan in the video. "Latinos brought salsa, merengue, tango, tacos and arepas to the United States, but more than anything, we brought mucho, mucho corazo'n, lots of heart."

"Hispanic celebrities who have made it in the U.S. are admired by many," said Lavonne Luquis, Director of Programming, AOL Latino. "Having these beloved stars speak about their Hispanic heritage offers our members a unique perspective they can't find anywhere else."

"We are proud to present a wide range of features through all of our channels from sports, music, entertainment and lifestyles acknowledging the great contributions Latinos have made to this country," Luquis concluded.
