(Irvine, CA – June 15, 2008)
The son of Cuban immigrants that were victims of Castro's revolution,
Glenn Llopis’ bloodline is concentrated with resilience, innovation and
an unapologetic appreciation for life, people and the power of
perseverance. In the late 50's, Glenn's father Frank Llopis left his
beloved Cuba with his music and his wife Jenny and re-emerged as one of
the most highly respected and admired Latin musicians of his time.
Known as the first to "cross-over" American Rock-N-Roll with the
rhythms and sounds of Salsa and Meringue, Frank Llopis and his quartet
"Los Llopis" reached the popularity of The Beatles throughout Mexico,
Central America and Spain. Frank Llopis is still regarded today as one
of the original Cuban music legends with the likes of Celia Cruz and
Beny More.
Hispanic’s
Today bridges this generational gap of Llopis’ in a heart-felt featured
segment (scheduled to air in late June / early July) of Glenn Llopis
that capsulate his deep appreciation for his Cuban roots and how his
special relationship with his parents and wisdom of his father has
transcended throughout his life and has represented the embodiment of
his approach to business that he calls Earning Serendipity, the title of his highly anticipated book (www.earningserendipity.com),
Glenn’s passion and love for life is represented throughout his body of
work as both a community service leader, corporate officer and
entrepreneur over the past 20 years. Glenn hopes that his Hispanic
roots, the upcoming book and life’s lessons & learnings can serve
to inspire and breed Hispanic Leaders (current and new) to make
positive / impactful changes to American society to propel the unity of
community & commerce.
According to Glenn Llopis, “I am grateful for the
opportunity that Hispanic’s Today has given me to share my unique story
and that of my family to the Hispanic communities. It is my goal to
serve as a role model for the next generation of Hispanic Leaders with
the ultimate goal to serve our country in a political capacity for the
advancement of the growing and influential Hispanic population, Llopis
concludes.
