LeaLA Book Fair With a Mission to Make History in Los Angeles – Isabel Allende, Elena Poniatowska, Laura Restrepo, Paco Ignacio Taibo II, Carmen Boullosa, Francisco Martin Moreno, Jose Jose and Kate Del Castillo are Among Presenters

TomasC — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 16:56:16 +0000
One of the most ambitious efforts to celebrate the world of Spanish language books will make its debut when LeaLA, the Spanish book fair in Los Angeles, premieres April 29, 30 and May 1, at the Los Angeles Convention Center. "This book fair is the first of its kind in the U.S.," says Marisol Schulz, Director of LeaLA. "LeaLA was conceived as a cultural festival where the spinal cord is the literary program, a space where authors from Latin American countries and U.S. Latino writers can find a home that reflects the U.S. Latino reality. A place where Hispanics from all walks of life can rediscover their roots, reading, culture and understand the new society they are building in the U.S."

LeaLA will feature an impressive gathering of highly acclaimed authors from the literary, cultural and entertainment worlds. More than 100 publishers and 80 authors will showcase their works from fiction to non-fiction, with topics ranging from history to empowerment, for everyone from book aficionados to children just learning to read, in Spanish and English. The jam-packed literary and cultural program will complement the sale of books and give the public a close-up look at the wonders of the written page in an entertaining way.

Confirmed authors include: Isabel Allende, Laura Restrepo, Francisco Martin Moreno, Xavier Velasco, Sealtiel Alatriste, Carmen Boullosa, Sanjuana Martinez, Paco Ignacio Taibo II, and Sandra Lorenzano. Also participating will be the Director of the Royal Spanish Academy, Jose Manuel Blecua; former Miss Universe, Dayanara Torres; legendary singing superstar, Jose Jose; actress Kate del Castillo, and more celebrities who will read to children in the kids' zone.

The Mexican state of Jalisco is the honored special guest and as a tribute LeaLA will present a homage to three Mexican literary greats: Juan Rulfo, Agustin Yanez and Juan Jose Arreola, as well as the theatre performances by one of Mexico's greatest artists, actor-writer-director, Ofelia Medina, presenting "El Placer de Nuestra Lengua," "The Pleasures of Our Tongue," with the Ruben Albarran (lead singer of Cafe Tacvba). The play's name is a double entendre referring to the Spanish language as well as our physical tongue. It is a dramatic staging where delicate, romantic lyricism is intertwined with potent eroticism through the Spanish Language. The Ballet Folclorico of the University of Guadalajara, considered one of the best folk dance troupes in Mexico with international acclaim, will also offer a command performance, with concert caliber mariachi on Sunday, May 1 at the Wiltern Theatre.

Plenary sessions, book signings, talks, panel sessions and talks will fill each day's program revealing insights into a plethora of topics including: popular trends, current events, immigration, the vitality of Latino culture in the U.S. and Latin America, the history and roots of Latin American countries, mysteries of love and sex, personal finance, mental and physical health for women, gay history, the drug trade, Mexican cinema in L.A., the art of Mexican cuisine, and the education crisis, among others.

Topping each day will be evening concerts at the Nokia Theatre with top recording artists including Lupillo Rivera and Banda El Limon, Pedro Fernandez, and Molotov and Kinky.

The event is open to the public and expects to draw over 30,000 people. Admission is free to the book fair. Event hours are: 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Los Angeles Convention Center, Concourse Hall, 1201 South Figueroa St., Los Angeles, 90015. Tickets for the concerts and theatre performances are available through Ticketmaster. For more information visit the LeaLA website at www.lea-la.com.

LeaLA is an initiative organized by the University of Guadalajara USA Foundation and supported by the Guadalajara International Book Fair, Feria Internacional del Libro, known worldwide as FIL; and the University of Guadalajara in Los Angeles.

Dayanara Torres Launches Online Asthma Education Resource for Hispanic Community in Partnership with Merck and AAFA

Tomas — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 21:28:09 +0000

Understanding and managing asthma is not always easy, especially without adequate patient resources. Thats why Puerto Rican actress, author and mother of two children with asthma, Dayanara Torres, has partnered with the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) and Merck to launch the Asma En Espanol initiative, a new Spanish asthma education web resource to help patients learn more about asthma triggers and ways to manage the disease. Joining Dayanara Torres in this effort is Dr. Jaime Alvarez, an allergist, immunologist and asthma expert based in Miami, FL.

Asthma affects approximately 2.7 million Hispanic American patients including 500,000 Hispanic American children in the United States. The disease also may affect Puerto Ricans at a higher rate than other Hispanic groups in America. In addition, Puerto Rican children experience a higher prevalence of lifetime asthma diagnoses and recent asthma attacks compared to non-Hispanic white and black children and Mexican children.

May is Puerto Rican Month on Mega Cine on SBS

Tomas — Tue, 06 May 2008 16:34:57 +0000

"Spanish Broadcasting System, Inc. (SBS) (NASDAQ: SBSA) announced today that during the entire month of May, Mega Cine will present five fabulous Puerto Rican movies every Saturday at 8:00 PM ET on Mega TV Channel 22 in Miami, 9:00 PM PT on Channel 405 DirecTV M�s in the rest of the United States, and 9:00 PM on Channel 169 of DirecTV in Puerto Rico.

On May 3, "Maruja" (1959), the first great box-office success of Puerto Rican cinema, will premier. The film is about a sensual and beautiful woman who draws the lust of various men, but eventually faces tragic results. Despite having a Spanish screenwriter and an Argentinean director, the Puerto Rican roots of "Maruja" are easily distinguishable. The movie is set in location similar to that of Bayam�n Puerto Rico's second most populated island, and stars Axel Anderson, Victor Arrillaga, Elena Montalban, Roberto Rivera Negr�n, Mario Pabon, Manuel Perez Durand, and Marta Romero.

"Linda Sara" (1994), which was directed by Jacobo Moral and stars Chayanne, Dayanara Torres and Adamari Lopez, will premier on May 10 and be the second film of the month. The story centers on Sara and Jos� who work in the sugar industry and enjoy happy times until they are faced with a crippling financial crisis. The film is a moving story about a family whose transcendent love helps them face the risk of losing their most valued possession: a house filled with relics and memories in which they've lived since the children. The story takes an unexpected turn, however, when a new development brings the characters into conflict with one another.

"El Mar no Perdona" ("The Sea Does Not Forgive"), a story about people moving to another city in order to make a better life for themselves and their families, will premier on May 17. The movie was directed by Vicente Fort and stars Alexandra Malag�n, Walter Rodriguez, Miguel Ramos, Martita Mart�nez, Maribel Qui�ones, Xiomara Rodriguez, Cesar Paredes and N�stor Rodriguez.

"La �ltima Noche" ("The Last Night"), a story of tragic love, will air on May 24. The film is about the love that Roberto and Julian develop for one another during a time that is filled with hatred and a rivalry between two groups caused by a lack of understanding and communication. It is a gripping movie filled with action, reggaeton music, dancing, amazing special effects and great drama. Filmed in Autonomous City Hall of Caguas, the movie stars singer, Tito El Bambino, Christie Mir�, Junior �lvarez, Jerry Segarra, Maribel Qui��nez, and features the return of TV star, Amalia Cross, the dramatic debut of reggaeton singer, Glori, and Naldo, a producer of reggaeton.

"El Pan Nuestro" ("Our Bread") will be the last movie in the series to premier and will air on May 31. It is the history of Maribel Rovira, an elite woman who decides to adopt a black boy, and Laura Martell, a black middle-class woman who wants to have a son and decides to do so through artificial fertilization. The movie takes a surprising twist for her, when she is accidentally impregnated with the sperm of a white male. As a result, discrimination, social and racial prejudice, the youth's rebellion and maternal love all form the heart of an audacious and amusing plot. Directed by Vicente Castro, the cast includes Noelia, Clarissa Chapuseaux, Luis Gonzoaga, Juan Carlos Betancourt and Luz Odilea Font.

Do not miss this extraordinary line up of classic Puerto Rican movies from Mega Cine, every Saturday in May starting at 8:00 PM ET on Mega TV Channel 22 in Miami, at 9:00 PM PT on Channel 405 DirecTV M�s in the rest of the United States, and at 9:00 PM on Channel 169 of DirecTV in Puerto Rico."
