“This festival is one that is meant to link us as a people so that borders dissolve, and we find those common threads and musical moments which unite North and South America as one. This is our music.” – Gustavo Dudamel, Festival Director.


Americas and Americans is a festival that celebrates music from North and South America and the shared heritage and cultural experiences across the hemispheres. With a long-standing belief that barriers can be broken through art, Americas and Americans brings to life Dudamel’s global vision of a multi-cultural community unified by music. One of the major events of his 2009/10 inaugural season at Walt Disney Concert Hall with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Americas and Americans now comes to the Hollywood Bowl in a week-long celebration encompassing a wide-ranging program that spans the musical spectrum. 
Americas & Americans will take place August 14 - 19.




Here is the line up!

* DUDAMEL & JUAN LUIS GUERRA > August 14

Joining Gustavo Dudamel and the Los Angeles Philharmonic orchestra is singer-songwriter Juan Luis Guerra, who popularized the bachata and merengue genres from the Dominican Republic. His unique sound, a mix of rhythms and melodies from a variety of styles, is beloved around the world.
* RUBÉN BLADES & EDDIE PALMIERI SALSA ORCHESTRA > August 15

Two titans of salsa share the bill! Iconic Panamanian singer-actor-politician Rubén Blades, the “Latin Bruce Springsteen,” makes his eagerly awaited return to the Bowl. The evening also features legendary Puerto Rican pianist Eddie Palmieri and his fiery Salsa Orchestra.

 * DUDAMEL CONDUCTS GINESTERA & COPLAND > With Sergio Tempo > August 16

Just as Copland captured the wide-open plains of the U.S., Ginastera (who studied with Copland) fashioned a style that reflects the gaucho in the pampas of Argentina; both epitomize music of the Americas.


* JUANES WITH THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL ORCHESTRA >  August 17 - 18

Colombian superstar Juanes has become the leading all-Spanish language music artist in the world. An electrifying guitarist and gifted songwriter, the 17-time Latin Grammy winner has made a global impact with his blend of rock en español and traditional Latin American rhythms, as well as with his commitment to social change through music.

Children of the Plumed Serpent: the Legacy of Quetzalcoatl in Ancient Mexico in Los Angeles

Posted by LATINO EVENTS Y TESPIS MAGAZINE on Thursday, June 28, 2012 , under , , , , , , , , , , | comments (0)





Children of the Plumed Serpent: the Legacy of Quetzalcoatl in Ancient Mexico follows the historical trajectory of the life and epic stories of the culture-hero and deity, Quetzalcoatl. The exhibition, taking place at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), examines the art and material objects of late pre-Columbian and early colonial societies across Mexico to explore Quetzalcoatl’s role as founder and benefactor of the Nahua-, Mixtec-, and Zapotec-dominated kingdoms of southern Mexico. These socially and culturally complex communities successfully resisted both Aztec and Spanish subjugation, flourishing during an era of unprecedented international entrepreneurship and cultural innovation. On view are painted manuscripts (codices), polychrome ceramics, textiles, and exquisite works of gold, turquoise, and shell that reflect the achievements of the Children of the Plumed Serpent.

Introduction | The World of Tula and Chichen Itza | The New Tollan | Feasting, Divination, and Heroic History | Avenues of Trade and the Spread of the International Style | The Aztec Conquest and the Spanish Incursion

El reconocido maestro venezolano asumió la batuta de la Orquesta Filarmónica de Los Angeles (LAPhil) y presentó el programa de su primera temporada, que comienza en octubre 2009. Con el arribo de Dudamel a este centro de la música clásica de Los Angeles, donde está La Opera dirigida por el español Plácido Domingo, se impulsa también el proyecto creado en Venezuela "El Sistema", destinado a llevar la música clásica a niños de barrios pobres, la realización de festivales que brinden una visión de la música clásica "del Sur de América al Norte de América".
Para la temporada 2009-2010, que se lanzará el 3 de octubre con un concierto ante 18.000 personas en el Hollywood Bowl llamado "Bienvenido Gustavo! A Musical Celebration of Los Angeles", prevén actividades "innovadoras" y de trabajo con la comunidad, apuntó la presidenta de la Orquesta Deborah Borda. ¡Le deseamos a Gustavo todo el éxito que se merece!
