Costa Maya confirms Yerbaklan from Honduras for Friday Night
Friday night’s lineup has just gotten even more exciting, as Honduras’ Yerbaklan will be on stage performing to your heart’s delight. They’ve been here before, but under a different name. Now, with a fusion of reggaeton and urban rhythms, Cesar Castaneda (Csarec) of San Pedro Sula, and Jaime Colindres (Jimmy James) of Tegucigalpa, are one of the most well-known duos in Honduras. Csarec and Jimmy James both dreamt of becoming artists/singers from a very young age, writing their own lyrics and making their own music. They eventually fused their styles and became what is now known as Yerbaklan.
They are influenced by such artists as UB 40, Boyz II Men, Vico C, El General, Shabakan and Nando Boom. They got their start in 2004 when they were included in a compilation called “Leyenda 2”. This production catapulted them via newspaper media, radio and television, both local and national. In 2005 they were recognized as “Duo of the Year”, and got top radio and television rotation with their hit “La Vaquerita”.
They even traveled and performed throughout Honduras, Guatemala and San Pedro, Belize for Costa Maya (2005). They have had the good fortune to be the opening performances for artists such as Calle 13, Don Omar, Daddy Yankee, Rakim y Ken-Y and Tito “El Bambino”. In 2008, they held a concert of their own in Honduras, and caught the attention of US record label “Xatruch Music”.
Their first album, called “Primera Clase” started production in 2009, and if their 2007 singles “Sexy Gial” and “Tu Amante” is anything to go by, Primera Clase is a guaranteed hit for this talented duo. And now, festival goers will be able to enjoy them in the flesh as they once again hit the stage, polished, primed and ready to blow you away. Be sure to catch the front row when Csarec and Jimmy James come on stage.

Miss Nicaragua
Claudia Alejandra Trejos Gadea
Age: 23 years
Height: 5'9"
Occupation: Graduate of Business Administration, Tourism and Hotel
Eye color: Black
Hair color: Dark Brown
Measurements: 34"-24"-38"
Hobbies: Going to the beach and exercising
Claudia is a graduate with a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration, Tourism and Hotel Management and one day hopes to become a renowned chef with a restaurant of her own and raise a family. She has very strong family values and believes that women are faced with many obstacles in life which include machismo and the fight for feminism, but strongly believes that women have great value, much like the opposite sex. The biggest problem she thinks her country faces is the lack of interest by Nicaraguans to cope with the problems caused by political differences that directly affect the economy and many cultural aspects.

Her small screen television career started at the age of 14 in the program TV Mujer for Univision. She covered in TV segments about health, beauty and social issues.
Her television program Siempre Contigo deals with issues of politics, economics, issues that have the most impact in society. As a lawyer, Sandra inclination in working with family issues has allowed her to recognize the weak points that most affect the Latin Community. She is in works of releasing a book concerning these issues.
Sandra is currently in a relationship with Mario Mejia, a Guatemalan national who is currently working on his musical career. Mario Mejia performed a few of his songs at last year's Costa Maya Festival and will once again grace the festival stage on Friday, August 6, this time with a lengthier presentation with his band.
