International Entertainer Cerrito Receives Standing Ovation During Cma Music Festival Performance

New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ PLA Media) - For the first time with legendary singer Lynn Anderson, Checo Records recording artist, CERRITO performed a bilingual duet during the CMA Music Festival. With a standing ovation at the end of 'Mexican Angel,' CERRITO states, 'This has been a great opportunity for us. Lynn is an amazing artist and not to mention a wonderful person!'

CERRITO's latest single, 'South of the Border,' is climbing the New Music Weekly and Europe's HotDisc charts. This single is a duet with Oscar nominated country artist Lane Brody and will be off his upcoming album, CERRITO y Las Chicas de Country (CERRITO and The Girls of Country), which is scheduled to be released later this year.

This will be country music's first bilingual collaboration project that will feature songbirds Lynn Anderson, Kathie Baillie, Jett Williams (daughter of country music icon Hank Williams), two-time CMA Female Vocalist of the Year Janie Fricke, twin country music duo Moore & Moore, Americana artist Elizabeth Cook, Liza Martin and CERRITO's sister Sallyann.

CERRITO has won fans in Mexico, Europe, Japan, Honduras, United Kingdom and is now drawing an interest among American audiences. His career hit full throttle when international 'cuchi cuchi' diva (entertainer, guitarist and actress) Charo, caught his show and hired him on the spot to be one of her background singers. His combination of Latin flare and a traditional country vibe creates a unique offering that is attracting a wide range of fans noting his diverse and distinctive music.
