About this event

Tony Meléndez is a Nicaraguan-American Christian singer and songwriter.

Originally from Rivas, Nicaragua, Tony was born without arms and with a clubbed foot. At the age of one Tony's family immigrated to the USA so Tony could have corrective surgery on his left foot in order for him to walk.

Tony grew up in a home where mom protected and cared greatly for him and at the same time had a father who encouraged and pushed him to do things on his own. As he had no arms, Tony had to learn to do almost everything with his feet and at the age of sixteen taught himself how to play the guitar with his toes. As he grew proficient at his guitar playing he also matured as a singer and composer. In 1987 he was asked by the youth of Los Angeles to be their gift to Pope John Paul II. It was this internationally broadcast event that set Tony's career in to high gear, now more than 31 years later Tony has traveled to all fifty states and more than 44 foreign countries. In May of 2020 Tony will add his 45th country when he heads to Africa, Rwanda and possibly Ghana! Our mission to these countries will include visits to Our Lady of Kibeho, orphanages and schools, as well as a few concerts in major cities!

Tony travels with his brother Jose and together they share with young and old their message of hope, encouragement, and faith. Tony's message and story are presented with music and his personal life stories. As they continue to travel, they focus on young people by going into schools, colleges, and universities.

Tony has recorded 6 albums, Never Be The Same, Ways of The Wise, El Muro se Callo, Cup Of Life, Hands In Heaven and Hope/Esperanza! He also has his autobiography, A Gift Of Hope, published by Harper and Row.

Tony now resides in Branson with his wife Lynn and their two kids, Marisa and Andres. Despite all the travel over the last 31 years, Tony continues to resist the siren song of stardom, hoping only to develop his musical career and share his God given gifts. " I don't feel like a celebrity," he says with a smile, " I just feel like me!"

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Tony Meléndez es un cantante y compositor cristiano nicaragüense-estadounidense.

Tony, originario de Rivas, Nicaragua, nació sin brazos y con un pie zambo. A la edad de un año, la familia de Tony emigró a los Estados Unidos para que Tony pudiera someterse a una cirugía correctiva en el pie izquierdo para que pudiera caminar.

Tony creció en un hogar donde mamá lo protegía y se preocupaba mucho por él y, al mismo tiempo, tenía un padre que lo alentaba y lo impulsaba a hacer las cosas por su cuenta. Como no tenía brazos, Tony tuvo que aprender a hacer casi todo con los pies y a los dieciséis años aprendió por sí mismo a tocar la guitarra con los dedos de los pies. A medida que fue adquiriendo dominio de la guitarra, también maduró como cantante y compositor. En 1987 los jóvenes de Los Ángeles le pidieron que fuera su regalo al Papa Juan Pablo II. Fue este evento de transmisión internacional lo que puso en marcha la carrera de Tony; ahora, más de 31 años después, Tony ha viajado a los cincuenta estados y más de 44 países extranjeros. ¡En mayo de 2020 Tony agregará su país número 45 cuando se dirija a África, Ruanda y posiblemente Ghana! Nuestra misión en estos países incluirá visitas a Nuestra Señora de Kibeho, orfanatos y escuelas, ¡así como algunos conciertos en las principales ciudades!

Tony ha estado en programas como Good Morning America, Hour Of Power con Robert Schuller, Arsenio Hall, 700 Club, Jerry Lewis Telethons y programas especiales en horario de máxima audiencia para Variety Clubs y Very Special Arts.

Tony viaja con su hermano José y juntos comparten con jóvenes y mayores su mensaje de esperanza, aliento y fe. El mensaje y la historia de Tony se presentan con música y las historias de su vida personal. A medida que continúan viajando, se enfocan en los jóvenes yendo a escuelas, colegios y universidades.

Tony ha grabado 6 álbumes, Never Be The Same, Ways of The Wise, El Muro se Callo, Cup Of Life, Hands In Heaven y Hope / Esperanza! También tiene su autobiografía, A Gift Of Hope, publicada por Harper and Row.

Tony ha recibido numerosos premios y honores, incluidos elogios especiales del presidente Reagan, el estado de California, la ciudad de Los Ángeles y un sinnúmero de otras organizaciones cívicas y caritativas, así como el primer premio anual al héroe inspirador de la Asociación de Antiguos Alumnos de la NFL en Super Bowl XXIII en Miami.

Tony ahora reside en Branson con su esposa Lynn y sus dos hijos, Marisa y Andres. A pesar de todos los viajes durante los últimos 31 años, Tony continúa resistiéndose al canto de sirena del estrellato, con la esperanza de desarrollar su carrera musical y compartir los dones que Dios le dio. "No me siento como una celebridad", dice con una sonrisa, "¡simplemente me siento como yo!"
