2011 Latin Grammy nominee, Cristian Castro, launched his new album "Mi Amigo El Príncipe,"(My Friend The Prince) last Tuesday, November 1^st in all formats.

With "Mi Amigo El Príncipe," Cristian consummates his tribute to his friend and musical father. A tribute that began in 2010 with the release of "Viva El Principe", an album that has sold more than 800,000 copies worldwide and has positioned itself as one of today's most important Latin pop albums.

"I want to infinitely thank my dear friend Cristian Castro for the beautiful way in which he has brought me closer to the new generation by recording my songs in the wonderful way in which he has done so. This gives me the opportunity to remain relevant and continue to deliver the message of love from the composers of my day to all of the youth today," commented José José.

"Mi Amigo El Príncipe" includes some of Jose Jose's biggest hits, reinterpreted under the production of Rafael Perez-Botija. "Lo Dudo," (I Doubt It) "Desesperado" (Desperate) and "Preso" (Imprisoned) are just some of the songs included in the album, which stays true to some of the arrangement characteristic of the original recordings with a contemporary twist worthy of this era.

"After the huge success of the first album, I was afraid we had hurried the best of José José's repertoire. But it wasn't so: When we finished, we all agreed with great amazement that the second album was better than the first. How could it be? I think that, first of all, José recorded such a huge number of songs during his career that they couldn't be compiled in two albums, or three. Second, Cristian had already mastered to perfection a path that he paved for himself with the first album. I think some of the versions on this album will make history," commented Perez-Botija.

Cristian is currently in Miami where he will be presenting "Mi Amigo El Príncipe"  in an intimate cocktail in front of his fans, family, friends and media at the Gibson Showroom. Cristian will sing some of songs from "Mi Amigo El Príncipe" accompanied by his pianist.
