LAMC Fun Continues Tonight

10:15 am By Jennifer Woodard Maderazo · Music| New York City · Comments Off

The fun has already begun. I’m just waiting to upload some videos of last night’s BMI’s Verano Alternativo showcase at S.O.B’s, so I can share the amazing musical acts I was exposed to.

In the meantime, I plan for today.

At some point in the afternoon, I need to head to the Roosevelt Hotel, to officially register and get mi badge (with two kids- this should be fun).

Then somehow, I have to be at two places at one time!

From 6-10 there is the LAMC Music & Film Night at Central Park Summerstage

featuring Bragging Rights: Stickball Stories, a film by Sonia N. Gonzalez, and Machito: A Latin Jazz Legacy a film by Carlos Ortiz, with musical performance by CuCu Diamantes of Yerba Buena and introduction by Andres Levin.

I really want to see this because I know Sonia, the director of Bragging Rights, but I don’t think I’ll have babysitting by then.

I will have babysitting to go to the LAMC/ES Música VS GoTV Indie Showcase @ The Mercury Lounge (217 E Houston St), from

Performances by Forro in the Dark (Brazil), Zigmat (New York), Pilar Diaz (Los Angeles), Allá (Chicago), Guajiro (Puerto Rico/Miami), Don Tetto (Colombia), MySpace Latino Sponsored Band Afrobeta (Miami). Hosted by Sandra Sampayo of GoTV.

I am so psyched! I’ve been wanting to attend the Latin Alternative Music Conference since it started and this year VivirLatino will be there. The 9th annual LAMC features concerts with some of my favorite Latino musical acts including Julieta Venegas, Miranda!, Emmanuel Horvilleur from Illya Kuryaki & the Valderramas, Alex*Cuba and Forro in the Dark. There are panels, including a panel on blogging and the Latin alternative scene that I will definitely be at.

You can go too! Log onto http://www.latinalternative.com/ and register to catch what promises to be some of the best music and music talk this verano.

I love living in New York City in the summer. Yes it’s hot and humid but the city offers some of the best free entertainment around. This fin de semana is jampacked with Latino events, thanks in large part to the Latin Alternative Music Conference. I hope some of you can make it. Maybe even you’ll find me!!

Tonight: In Brooklyn’s lovely Prospect Park bandshell Spain’s The Pinker Tones, Monterrey’s acclaimed vocalist Chetes (of Zurdok and Vaquero fame) and Mexico’s popular alterna-rockers, Zoé (and the suggested donation is only $3). For directions click here.

Calle 13 is playing in Times Square at the Nokia Theater.

Brooklyn’s a little far for me and I didn’t get Calle 13 tix so I’ll be staying closer to home in Queens to catch a little Brazilian flavor via the Queens Museum of Art Passport Fridays.
