Luis J. Rodriguez: Celebrating Words: Written, Performed & Sung

“This past June 24, Tia Chucha’s Centro Cultural organized the first “Celebrating Words: Written, Performed & Sung” festival in the culturally-neglected neighborhood of Sylmar in the city of Los Angeles. With support from the Youth Policy Institute and LA City Councilman Alex Padilla’s Office (and funded by the city’s Department of Cultural Affairs), we were able to get a few hundred people to enjoy the poets, spoken word performers, musicians, and bands that played on the stage — and to see and buy art works, jewelry, T-shirts, books, and tamales from our vendors.”
