Welcome to another edition of TGJ’s ‘Retro Rewind’, the original feature carved out to celebrate TV and Film’s glorious past.

Today we stepped back in time and arrived in January 2001, the month and year the world was introduced to ‘Taina.’

Starring ‘Life with Mickey‘s Christina Vidal, the series followed the life of teenager Taina Morales, a student at the Manhattan School of the Performing Heights, who is determined to become a world renown superstar.

With the help of her best friend Renee Jones, the Latina musician juggles life, music, drama and culture as she navigates through life with her eyes on a platinum prize.

Before its cancellation the series pulled in ratings with guest appearances made by 3LW (who portrayed the group Blue Mascara), Kelly Rowland who played the controversial actress Nicole Burke who inspired what may be one of the strongest songs on the show’s Jive-backed soundtrack.

Ready to take that journey to the past?
