Those who know her describe her as a kind and strong woman.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ever since she was young, Regalado knew that her place was on stage. She inherited her voice from her parents, along with other artistic gifts such as painting, sculpting, writing and poetry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although her professional career had nothing to do with art, she never gave up on her dreams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2000, Regalado decided to turn to music and honor the folklore of her country by using her voice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI decided to dedicate myself fully to the art after being invited to sing at a big event. Ever since then, I have been singing professionally,\u201d she explained, adding that she now has eight musical productions with folk, Christmas, and Christian themes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;\u201cWhat I love most is the stage. I like to sing and I love the show,\u201d Regalado said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prior to her role as a singer-songwriter, she was a primary education teacher at the Ram\u00f3n Rosa Technical Institute in her native city, Gracias, Honduras. She also worked as a clinical laboratory technician.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite these other jobs, Regalado stressed that art was always present in her life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She has always stood out in her career for her sense of culture, which has made her the recipient of countless awards and tributes as well as presentations at various national and international folkloric events such as the Brevard Hispanic Center and the Hispano Fest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For her daughter, Karen Mart\u00ednez, Regalado is a constant source of perseverance and strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI admire her in many ways and, as her daughter, I am very proud of her. She has always been a woman who has followed her instincts and dreams,\u201d Martinez said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mart\u00ednez also described Regalado as a \u2018super mom\u2019 and the prime example of an empowered woman.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cShe has many skills. Ever since I was a young child, my mother gave God all of the credit for her talents, \u201cshe said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regalado currently writes children\u2019s stories and legends of Honduras while still working on her music. She also is writing a new musical production that she hopes to release soon.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Por Jesika MillanoAL DIA TODAY TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras \u2014 Celia Regalado Serrano has all of the ingredients to take over the world.&nbsp; For the last 19 years, she has traveled through different regions of Honduras, singing <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/aldiatoday.com\/index.php\/2019\/05\/27\/celia-regalado-shares-honduran-culture-through-art-music\/\" title=\"Celia Regalado shares Honduran culture through art, music\">[&#8230;]<\/a> <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/aldiatoday.com\/index.php\/2019\/05\/27\/celia-regalado-shares-honduran-culture-through-art-music\/\" title=\"Celia Regalado shares Honduran culture through art, music\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1362,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-1360","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-uncategorized"},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/aldiatoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/celia.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aldiatoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1360","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aldiatoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aldiatoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aldiatoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aldiatoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1360"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/aldiatoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1360\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aldiatoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1362"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aldiatoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1360"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aldiatoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1360"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aldiatoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1360"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
