	SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 329
	WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
	recognize vocalist Carlos Cuevas, who has been named Mr. Amigo
	for 2010; and

	WHEREAS, For 40 years, the Mr. Amigo honoree has been
	chosen from a field of candidates of Mexican leaders and
	entertainers, whose endeavors and accomplishments are personified
	by such former winners as Angelica Vale, Cantinflas, and
	Veronica Castro; and

	WHEREAS, Known as the King of Bolero, Carlos Cuevas began
	his recording career in 1981 with the release of Gatita Asustada;
	fusing a Latin beat with the expression of romanticism, he has
	toured the world, performing with such artists as former Mr. Amigo,
	Armando Manzanero, and renowned tenor, Plácido Domingo; and

	WHEREAS, Among his best-known albums is Bolerópera, a
	blend of boleros and operatic arias; this unique combination of
	sounds and cultures broke new ground in the industry and
	solidified his place in music history; and

	WHEREAS, Carlos Cuevas is truly deserving of this
	prestigious honor for his many contributions to the rich cultural
	legacy of Latin America; now, therefore, be it

	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd
	Legislature, hereby commend Carlos Cuevas on his many
	outstanding achievements and extend congratulations to him on
	being named Mr. Amigo for 2010; and, be it further

	RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
	him as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate.

	Lucio
