Fri, 19 Jun 2009 15:22:13 +0000 Tomas http://www.hispanictips.com/?p=54840 "International percussionist and drummer Bobby Sanabria joins world leaders from all over the globe at The Aspen Ideas Festival, to be held June 29th through July 5th 2009 in Aspen, Colorado. Presented by the Aspen Institute and The Atlantic Magazine the annual event has sizzled up a stimulating and inspiring festival of presentations, lectures, panels, and debates. The event will also host architect Frank Gehry, painter and photographer Chuck Close, and Director Damian Woetzel. The festival will also include actress and playwright Anna Deavere Smith, Executive Producer WGBH Elizabeth Deane, and the president and CEO of the Los Angeles Philharmonic.

Mr. Sanabria will be part of an elite panel that will focus on Latin Music USA, a new documentary about the musical fusions that have deeply enriched popular music in the US for over more than eight decades. Produced by a world-class production team at WGBH and the BBC, Latin Music USA invites the audience into the vibrant musical dialogue between Latinos and non-Latinos that has helped shape the history of popular music in the United States. This ground breaking film is slated to premiere during Hispanic Heritage month and will air on PBS and BBC on October 12, 2009 (episodes 1 and 2) and October 19 (episodes 3 and 4).

"Bobby has been an amazing resource for Latin Music USA. His deep understanding of Afro-Cuban music as well as Jazz and his relentless talent are priceless to this project," explained Pamela A. Aguilar, producer, Latin Music USA. "We are grateful for his contributions!"

"I am very excited to be a part of such a prestigious lineup of world leaders and business luminaries that will be attending the festival" says Bobby Sanabria. He adds, "I'm looking forward to discussing the upcoming documentary Latin Jazz USA, as it will shed light on how Latin music has had a deeper a broader reach than most people realize." The Aspen Ideas Festival brings together people from different fields and offers a one-of-a-kind event to share, connect, and transform their ideas. Audiences will get to know Bobby Sanabria and explore the musical fusions that have enriched America's popular music.

Bobby Sanabria continues to deliver to a myriad of listeners across the world with a diverse body of work that includes three Grammy nominations for his solo CD's. His most recent album in 2009, Kenya Revisited Live! (Jazzheads Records) has him conducting the Manhattan School of Music Afro-Cuban Jazz Orchestra. Kenya Revisited "Live" is a unique interpretation with new arrangements of the legendary Kenya album originally released in 1958. The original album featured alto saxophonist Cannonball Adderley, trumpeter Joe Newman and conga virtuoso Candido Camero--who graces the present-day recording of the Kenya repertoire an incredible 50 years later. Chip Boaz of The Latin Jazz Corner writes "Bobby Sanabria is leading this charge… on a creative ride through one of the most important albums in Latin Jazz history on Kenya Revisited Live."

Produced by KCET-TV (http://www.kcet.org/), Los Angeles, the informational series provide English and Spanish-speaking parents and caregivers of preschool age children with practical advice on raising children who are socially, emotionally and physically ready to enter and succeed in school. Highlighted new programs include:

-- Making Thinking Visible (May 25) features the founders of the popular Blue Man Group sharing their secrets in bringing out the artistic talents of young children.

-- The Importance of Dads in Children's Lives (June 1) looks at the impact fathers have in their children's lives and suggests creative ideas for strengthening father-child bonds; and Dads and Breastfeeding, (July 8) explains the role dads can play in supporting their wives and contributing to the health of their children.

-- Coping with Economic Insecurities (Monday, June 22 - Friday, June 26) includes five programs featuring experts discussing how parents can cope with tough financial times and offering advice on family budgeting.

A Place of Our Own (http://www.aplaceofourown.org/)and Los Ninos en Su Casa (http://www.losninosensucasa.org/) are produced in a fun, interactive format and feature discussions with child experts and hands-on skill-building exercises with young children. A Place of Our Own is hosted by award winning journalist and mother Elizabeth Sanchez, while actress and mother Alina Rosario hosts Los Ninos en Su Casa.

Searchable by topic, information is available 24/7 at www.aplaceofourown.org and www.losninosensucasa.org, including resource links and message boards fully moderated by experts that enable childcare providers to interact with one another. Both sites make available over 200 activities previously featured on the series, providing directions and supply lists for creative projects for children of all ages. Video is also available online, including segments featuring nominated care providers who have been recognized for the quality care, commitment and dedication they offer to the children in their care and to their communities.

To extend the reach of A Place of Our Own and Los Ninos en Su Casa, the lessons of the series are delivered directly to local communities through free educational workshops for parents and child care providers that provide participants with extensive information on how to use the series to gain a better understanding of key child care and education concepts. The goal of the outreach program is to help improve the skills of people caring for young children, especially those who are not formally trained in early childhood education; to introduce them to the series, and encourage them to apply its content.

The series has been honored with numerous awards, including the 2006 Peabody Award, considered the most selective and prestigious in the electronic media industry, and a Parents' Choice award for both the series and website.

The series are produced as part of KCEd(TM), the education initiative at KCET. Since the series' launch, viewing studies indicate that 80 percent of participants report increased knowledge in tested areas such as managing aggressive child behavior, sharing, and the importance of learning through play, as well as changes in their own attitudes and behavior as childcare providers

A Place of Our Own and Los Ninos en Su Casa are produced by KCET, in association with 44 Blue Productions, Inc. (http://www.44blue.com/) The series are produced in association with Sesame Workshop (http://www.sesameworkshop.org/) and funded through the generous support of BP (http://www.bp.com/), First 5 California (http://www.ccfc.ca.gov/), and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (http://www.cpb.org/).
