Los Lonely Boys celebrate brotherhood

Tomas — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 15:06:17 +0000

"Like their heroes Los Lobos, Los Lonely Boys’ music has been featured prominently in a movie.

The band’s cover of Ritchie Valens’ 1958 hit “La Bamba,” which never leaves radio rotation, has kept Los Lobos a household name. But the screen debut of Los Lonely Boys’ music was in a movie about the band — and a true story."

PBS to Offer Special Programming for Hispanic Heritage Month September 15 – October 15, 2007

Tomas — Thu, 30 Aug 2007 06:43:45 +0000

"From comedian George Lopez to artists Diego Rivera, Jose Clemente Orozco and Frida Kahlo, from Latina garment workers in Los Angeles to the extraordinary contributions of Hispanic veterans to the U.S. effort in World War II, PBS will present a number of broadcast premieres and encore presentations that recognize the cultural, historical and societal impact of America's growing Hispanic community. The programs air during Hispanic Heritage Month, celebrated each year from September 15 - October 15. Not wanting to miss the excitement, MAYA & MIGUEL will also join in with a special "Latin Fun Fiesta," celebrating their family, language and culture with new episodes. While PBS broadcasts programs and offers online content for adults and children by Latino and other filmmakers of color year-round, during Hispanic Heritage Month PBS presents a wealth of compelling programs that examine the rich history, cultural contributions and fascinating heritage of Hispanic and Latino Americans. Press Preview Copies of Programs Available Upon Request New Programming AMERICAN MASTERS AMERICAN MASTERS, which pioneered the television biography genre, continues to offer insightful profiles of important figures in America's artistic and cultural life. "Orozco: Man on Fire" Wednesday, September 19, 2007, 9:00-10:00 p.m. ET This is the vibrant story of an artist whose dramatic life, iconoclastic personality and dynamic painting changed the way we see art and politics. Jose Clemente Orozco's travels back and forth across the U.S.- Mexico border are emblematic of the experiences of millions of Mexican migrants and immigrants who come seeking a better life in America. His personal convictions and tenacity in the face of daunting obstacles make him a compelling figure with universal appeal. Shot on location in Mexico and the United States, the documentary weaves a rich tapestry of images and sound, evoking Orozco's artistic style while opening a window onto the artist's inner life, passions and convictions. http://www.pbs.org/wnet/americanmasters BROWN IS THE NEW GREEN: GEORGE LOPEZ AND THE AMERICAN DREAM Wednesday, September 12, 2007, 8:00-9:00 p.m. ET Latinos, this nation's largest and fastest-growing minority group, are big business. This smart, fast-paced program examines how efforts to profit from this group are shaping the contemporary Latino identity. The documentary's focal point is George Lopez, an icon and advocate for Latinos' move into the mainstream. As Cosby did for African Americans decades ago, Lopez normalizes the image of Latinos in a way that delights and entertains. BROWN IS THE NEW GREEN contrasts his endeavors with the efforts of marketers intent on spinning Latinos as a wholly distinct subculture. The show also features conversations with members of the much-coveted Latino youth market, whose tastes and interests are far more eclectic than the marketers would have us believe. MAYA & MIGUEL Monday - Friday, continuing series -- NEW episodes (check local listings) In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month and the launch of their highly anticipated fourth season, MAYA & MIGUEL and Scholastic Media are declaring the month of October MAYA & MIGUEL's "Latin Fun Fiesta."

(check local listings), including: "The Wedding," "The Big Fight," "Good Luck Paco," "House Divided" and "I Love Maya." In addition, throughout Hispanic Heritage Month the twins will be appearing throughout the country at JuntaHispana(R), an event that celebrates the cultures, traditions, heritage and customs of 20 Spanish-speaking countries. Hispanic Heritage Month will also mark the official collaboration between the Girl Scouts of USA and Scholastic Media's MAYA & MIGUEL. The Girl Scouts of USA have invited Maya to become an official member of the Girl Scouts. To celebrate the occasion, Maya will be inducted into the Girls Scouts on September 29 at an event held at the Scholastic store in New York City. P.O.V. P.O.V.

Tuesday, September 4, 2007, 10:00-11:30 p.m. ET Los Angeles is now the country's center for apparel manufacturing, but many of its factories bear an eerie resemblance to New York's early 20th-century sweatshops. "Made in L.A." is a portrait of this "other" California, where immigrants work 14-hour days earning as little as $3 an hour. "Made in L.A." is even more the intimate story of three Latina garment workers, Maria, Maura and Lupe, who join the growing struggle for better working conditions; they persist through a tumultuous three- year battle to bring a major clothing retailer to the negotiating table. A co-production with the Independent Television Service (ITVS). A Diverse Voices Project co-production.

THE WAR, a seven-part series directed and produced by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, tells the story of the Second World War through the personal accounts of a handful of men and women from four quintessentially American towns. The series explores the most intimate human dimensions of one of the greatest cataclysms in history -- a worldwide catastrophe that touched the lives of every family on every street in every town in America -- and demonstrates that in extraordinary times, there are no ordinary lives. The series will include new content with stories focusing on Latinos and Native Americans. http://www.pbs.org/thewar/ Encore Programming AMERICAN MASTERS AMERICAN MASTERS, which pioneered the television biography genre, continues to offer insightful profiles of important figures in America's artistic and cultural life. "Rivera in America" Wednesday, September 19, 2007, 10:00-11:00 p.m. ET Considered the greatest Mexican painter of the 20th century, Diego Rivera had a profound effect on the international art world. He is credited with the reintroduction of fresco painting into modern art and architecture. His radical political views and tempestuous romance with the painter Frieda Kahlo were then, and remain today, a source of public intrigue. In a series of visits to America, from 1930 to 1940, Rivera brought his unique vision to public spaces and galleries, enlightening and inspiring artists and laymen alike. http://www.pbs.org/wnet/americanmasters/database/rivera_d.html AUSTIN CITY LIMITS "Los Lonely Boys/The Gourds" Saturday, September 8, 2007, 9:00-10:00 p.m. ET It's an evening of diverse Texas roots rock. First, San Angelo trio Los Lonely Boys consolidates its massive success with songs from Sacred, its slab of "Texican rock 'n' roll."

Garcia -- Mexican Revolution refugee, medical doctor to the barrios, decorated war veteran, civil rights activist and presidential confidante -- as he fought to bring attention to the Mexican-American civil rights movement. Returning to Texas after World War II with six battle stars, Garcia found that while Mexican- American veterans had been changed by the war, prejudiced America had not. His people faced public school segregation, squalid living conditions in labor camps and second-class citizenship.

Latin Rockers deSoL’s upcoming release ” On My Way” is a spiritually charged musical journey that reverberates the confidence of a band that knows exactly where they are going and has just what it takes to get them there.

Tomas — Sun, 03 Jun 2007 21:15:03 +0000

The new CD from Asbury Park's deSoL which seamlessly blends material performed in both Spanish and English is set for an August 7th release. (Asbury Park, NJ) - May 26, 2007 -- deSoL, the Asbury Park, NJ-based band that mixes rock hooks with Latin rhythms is set to release On My Way, an album of all new material sung in English and Spanish is set to hit retail on August 7th through saZon Records/Two22 Music with distribution through ADA. The album's first single "Sing It All Night" is scheduled to be serviced to Triple A radio next month. Over the course of their six years together, deSoL has scored notable successes both on stage and on radio. Having toured extensively, deSoL has shared marquees with artists such as R.E.M., The Legendary Wailers, Los Lonely Boys, Blues Traveler, Particle and Widespread Panic, to name just a few. The band has become linked with the high profile festivals they've graced the stages of like Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, and Austin City Limits, and more. With Rock, Pop and Latin influences abounding, deSoL's music has managed to cross cultural borders and musical formats bypassing all boundaries. Their first single, "Karma" released in 2005 became a Top 5 hit on the AAA radio format once again proving that in art and music there are No Borders. The Puerto Rican, Salvadorian, and Mexican influences which makeup deSoL's mixed Latino bloodlines also serves as the for their musical heroes such as the Fania All Stars, Tito Puente, Buena Vista Social Club as well as Los Lobos, and Santana, among others. Just before going into the studio to record On My Way, deSoL spent a month in the Middle East when they were contracted by the Department of Defense's Armed Forces Entertainment program. They brought their infectious rhythms and soulful tunes to the most widely varied assortment of ethnic, racial, and cultural mixtures imaginable which would be the men and women of the US troops stationed in Bahrain, Qatar, Djibouti, and Kuwait. Vocalist/guitarist Albie Monterrosa defines the experience as the final stopover on the long journey leading up to the here and now. Upon arrival home, deSoL's members sensed a change in themselves and somehow knew they were not the same people who had left for the road some 30 months earlier. Retreat, reflection, and rejuvenation was what the band needed most. Ironically enough they found their solace at Lake House Music right back in Asbury Park where the journey had all started. Coming full circle, it was there with the help and inspiration of Jon Leidersdorff, they wrote and produced the new album which was to serve as the repository for all they've learned as a band and individuals. Albie Monterrosa, commenting on the band and album, remarked, "We've been together for more than six years now and the musical and spiritual bonds between the band members just keeps growing stronger all that time. I think this is by far the ballsiest this band has ever sounded. I'm not kidding – this record Rocks!" On My Way track listing 1. On My Way (Monterrosa/Guerrero/deSoL) 2.
