|
||
WHEREAS, Shanty Zumaya, a fifth-grade student at Corina Peña | ||
Elementary School in Penitas, has earned great distinction for | ||
herself and her hometown by advancing to the finals of the third | ||
season of La Voz Kids; and | ||
WHEREAS, La Voz Kids, which airs on Telemundo, is a junior | ||
version of the American singing competition The Voice in which | ||
contestants vie for a five-year recording contract and a $50,000 | ||
cash prize supporting their education; invited to participate in | ||
the program in January 2015, Shanty impressed all three judges on | ||
the panel and ultimately chose Mexican singer and actor Pedro | ||
Fernández as her vocal coach; the final round begins on May 2 and | ||
will consist of 18 young contestants; and | ||
WHEREAS, Born and raised in Penitas, Shanty is the daughter | ||
of Osmin and Maria Zumaya and the sister of two brothers, Samir and | ||
Angel; her father has played an especially significant role in | ||
nurturing her gifts since she began singing when she was just four | ||
years old; she has gone on to perform at the Penitas White Wing | ||
Festival and La Posada de Ramon Ayala, and she has served as an | ||
opening act for such artists as La Mafia, Los Traileros, Michael | ||
Salgado, and Intocable; and | ||
WHEREAS, With her spectacular showing, Shanty Zumaya has | ||
demonstrated poise and musical talent befitting a rising star, and | ||
she is a source of tremendous pride to her family and community | ||
alike; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate Shanty Zumaya on her selection as a | ||
finalist on La Voz Kids and extend to her sincere best wishes for | ||
continued success; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for Ms. Zumaya as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
House of Representatives. | ||
