Tuesday, November 2, 2021
Mr. CORREA. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Humberto Luna.
Describing Humberto Luna is talking about perseverance, dedication,
passion, optimism, simplicity and good humor, same that has always
characterized him throughout his brilliant career not only as a radio
host, but also as an actor and television host.
This talented Zacatecano, from a very young age, showed great
concerns about the Radio. He graduated from La National School of Voice
Talents of Mexico, obtaining their Certificate of Aptitude granted by
the Secretary of Public Education through the General Directorate of
Audiovisual Education as Announcer, Chronicler and News Commentator in
accordance with articles 84, 85 and 86 of the Federal Law on Radio and
TV.
And in 1970 he arrived in Los Angeles California full of illusions to
follow his passion for Radio that has led him without a doubt to become
one of the most popular Personalities in Southern California for
imposing his own creative brand and staying on the air in the
audience's liking for more than four decades on various radio stations
in the American Union.
As a star of radio entertainment, he has also participated in the
magical world of cinema, with 27 films, on Television he co-presented
on ``Hablemos de Cine'' one of the most successful programs of the
Cadena Univision, on Telemundo he was the host of his own Show ``La
Hora Lunatica'' televised internationally.
And on October 12, 1990, his name was recorded for posterity on the
walk of fame of Hollywood making him the first hispanic announcer to
obtain one of the privileged stars that the city awards to foreign
personalities.
There are many recognitions that for almost half a century of
delivery have been granted, in 1991 the Hispanic Business Magazine
named him ``One of the 100 Most Influential Hispanics in United
States'' and is currently on the air on an important radio network.
I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring and celebrating Humberto
Luna.
