mun2 kicks off the New Year.

mun2 kicked off the New Year with the debut of two originally-created and brand-new programs “The Chicas Project” and “Have You Cine?,” as well as a special mun2-customized broadcast of Madonna’s worldwide sold-out 25-city “Confessions Tour.”

“We’re really excited to launch these new shows in January and are sure they’re going to be a hit with our audience,” said Flavio Morales, VP of programming for mun2. “‘The Chicas Project’ gives young Latinas a chance to see themselves in starring roles on TV in a way that accurately reflects them, and “Have You Cine” showcases Latin cinema to the viewers who can most appreciate it.”

Premiering on January 27th at 8PM EST is the highly-anticipated program “The Chicas Project,” a reality/lifestyle-based half-hour weekly show following the escapades and adventures of mun2 on-air hosts Crash and Yasmin. Native Californian Crash is wild, funky and all about her rock and roll lifestyle. Yasmin, who’s from the Bronx, has attitude, smarts and her finger on the pulse of the music scene. These two Latin chicas let viewers into their day-to-day lives, sharing their take on everything as they experience L.A. from their unique perspectives. Edgy, funny, smart and irreverent, “The Chicas Project” includes episodes with entertaining twists and turns from attending etiquette school, to going skydiving to cooking for singer and surprise dinner guest Nelly Furtado.

Also premiering on January 27th, at 10PM EST, is “Have You Cine?,” a monthly movie showcase that highlights the coolest Latino films and filmmakers. The program will crash the couches, kitchens, and backyard BBQ’s of actors, directors, musicians and other artists related to the film. These celebrity guests will watch the movie along with the viewer at home, pointing out little-known secrets and the inside stories that only they can offer. Every month, mun2 will screen a new film that defines the essence of Latin culture including Amores Perros, Nicotina, Mi Vida Loca, El Mariachi, Men With Guns, Devil’s Backbone, Girl Fight and Ladies’ Night. “Have You Cine?” is hosted by mun2’s Renato Lopez and will kick off in January with the premiere of Motorcycle Diaries, starring Gael Garcia Bernal, and based on the journals of Che Guevara.

One week before the debut of “The Chicas Project” and “Have You Cine?,” mun2 viewers will be treated to another programming special; a two-hour broadcast of Madonna’s worldwide sold-out 25-city “Confessions Tour.” Taped in November at the Wembley Arena in London, the concert includes songs from Madonna’s multi-platinum album “Confessions on a Dance Floor,” which debuted at number one in 29 countries and sold over 8 million copies around the globe. Concert footage also includes performances of some of the mega-star’s previous greatest hits. This special mun2 presentation of “The Confessions Tour” will include original mun2 packaging, hosted vignettes, and Madonna fun facts and trivia. The concert will premiere on mun2 on Saturday, January 20th at 10PM EST with an encore presentation on Saturday, March 24th at 10 p.m.
