Mexican Humberto Vélez and Peruvian Nancy MacKenzie, who gave their voices to  Homer and Marge for the Latin American dubbed version of "The Simpsons," will participate in the First Grand Convention CONAMYC to begin tomorrow in Lima.

They will participate at the First Grand Convention CONAMYC to be held from November 6th until 8th at Parque de la Imaginación (Park of the Imagination) in the Limenian district of San Miguel.

They performed the voices of Homer and Marge until  the 15th season, from 2004 and 2005, but then were fired due to a conflict between the company and the actors labor union on wages.

Velez and Mackenzie's voices are still famous throughout Latin America, where the Simpson's true fans have missed them during the last few seasons.

Only six young contestants remains in the singing reality show, and next presentation will be next Wednesday.

Yesterday night Lady Balarezo passed through next round of "Latin American Idol," with another fellow five singers from different parts of Latin America.

Yesterday Balarezo sang "Para Vivir," the theme of the TV soap opera "Un mundo de 20 asientos" (A World of Twenty Seats").

However, she received again some harsh critics from the jury members: Oscar Mediavilla, Mimi and Jon Secada.

The Peruvian singer will sing again next Wednesday in the next stage of the popular reality show.
