An absolute masterclass in Latin pop tonight at the Beacon Theatre. Andrés Cepeda delivered an incredible, high-energy performance that proved exactly why he remains a global icon. ​If you haven't caught my recent Paltrocast interview with Andrés yet, we dived deep into his latest projects and his evolution as an artist: /f/andres-cepeda ​Stay tuned: A full review of this stellar show is hitting the Paltrocast site very soon. ​#andréscepeda #beacontheatre #andrescepeda #paltrocast #latinpop

The sport of sumo is undergoing a global evolution, and at the forefront of this movement is Abdelrahman “Sandstorm” Shalan. On Saturday, May 16, 2026, Shalan’s World Elite Sumo (WES) will take over the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, for a massive one-night, 12-man professional tournament. Shalan’s own journey is nothing short of legendary. Originally from Egypt and now fighting out of Waldwick, NJ, he is reportedly the first professional sumo wrestler in history from the Middle Eastern and African regions. His accolades include: Historic Ascent: Tied for the fourth-fastest climb to makuuchi (sumo’s top division) in Japanese history. Dominant Debut: Earned a tournament championship with a perfect 7–0 record in his first year of competition (2012). Giant Slayer: Defeated two yokozuna (the highest possible rank in sumo) in back-to-back matches in 2014. In our May 2026 conversation, Shalan dived into the “mental toughness” required for the May 16 tournament, which features a diverse field including MMA heavyweight Giorgi Kvirchishvilli, Japanese star Asahisho Kota, and U.S. champion Dan “The Hungry Man” Kalbfleisch. Interestingly, Shalan also addressed whether his post-sumo path in Japan nearly led him to a career in professional wrestling before he ultimately chose to focus on MMA and the executive launch of World Elite Sumo.
