7:30 pm Saturday

New Mexico Gay Men’s Chorus and National Hispanic Cultural Center celebrate Pride with a Latinx flair! Orgullo! A Latinx Pride Celebration showcases the culture and passion of the Latinx community. New Mexico Gay Men’s Chorus and special guests, in partnership with NHCC, will present a Pride performance sure to be muy caliente!
Orgullo! A Latinx Pride Celebration will feature Latinx artists and put a spotlight on the people who have always been a part of the LGBTQ+ community by exploring traditional Latinx music and dance with LGBTQ+ twists. For example: this performance may feature a Flamenco dance that is traditionally performed between a man and a woman, featuring two men instead. This production will also celebrate some of the LGBTQ+ Latinx community legends, who have acted as artistic inspirations.
New Mexico Gay Men’s Chorus strives to be an empowering voice for the LGBTQ+ community and to enrich our greater New Mexican community through choral excellence. We believe that our strength grows as we add voice to voice, and that understanding between people of diverse cultures and orientations blossoms each time we present our musical offerings.
New Mexico Gay Men’s Chorus’ motto is Changing the World Through Music, and through our works of silliness, passion, faith, beauty, and emotion, we try to demonstrate that we are all on the same journey. This year we ask you to join us as we share our musical talents in Albuquerque and Santa Fe.

Festival Flamenco Alburquerque 37: Eduardo Guerrero: Bailar no es Solo Bailar
2024-06-24 | Roy E. Disney Center for Performing Arts: Albuquerque Journal Theatre, 1701 4th St SW, Albuquerque, NM, 87102
8:00 pm
National Institute of Flamenco & the NHCC present Eduardo Guerrero y Compañía in the U.S. premiere of Bailar no es Solo Bailar.
The incredible Cádiz-born Eduardo Guerrero brings Bailar no es Solo Bailar to the stage, a work full of profound expression. Guerrero aims to dive into the basics in a humble, simple way, without distracting artifacts and observe what happens when we let the minimal invade us, that innocent dance of the beginning returns to our body – what happens when we eliminate all the subterfuge to see how the body beats and honestly gives into itself to blur and melt. He returns to Flamenco as catharsis, as a language to unburden the heart and let the soul free. To return to Flamenco as a collective communion and sacred meeting, as a vehicle that brought us to the here and now and from which we will return to the before.

Festival Flamenco Alburquerque 37: Mercedes de Córdoba y Compañía: Sí, Quiero
2024-06-25 | Roy E. Disney Center for Performing Arts: Albuquerque Journal Theatre, 1701 4th St SW, Albuquerque, NM, 87102
8:00 pm
National Institute of Flamenco & the NHCC present Mercedes de Córdoba y Compañía in Sí, Quiero
Considered one of the most powerful and authentic dancers of her generation, Mercedes de Córdoba brings her celebratory personal work to the U.S. for the first time. Sí, Quiero is a categorical answer that admits no doubt. An anachronistic oath, and a forceful and necessary cry that vindicates commitment as a revolutionary act. This beautiful work reaffirms the act of wanting through an artistic discovery of what one is and what one feels. It presents a ceremony that celebrates life, a victory, a toast.

Festival Flamenco Alburquerque 37: Manuel Liñán y Compañía: Muerta de Amor

8:00 pm
National Institute of Flamenco & the NHCC present Manuel Liñán y Compañía in Muerta de Amor.
Spanish National Dance prize winner Manuel Liñán brings his brand new work to the U.S. for the first time. Muerta de Amor creates a space where desires nourished by past longings coexist and feelings can be reclaimed. In this new creation, Manuel Liñán seeks sustenance through emotion and flesh, a journey inviting him to discover humanity’s need for connection, the closeness between bodies, what drives them, and their consequences. Featuring 12 amazing artists on stage, the performance guides us through a choreographic passage, with the essence of copla, aiming at different atmospheres: desire, fantasy, provocation… needs arising from our own intimacy, from our bodies, sustaining our vital energy.
“The emphasis on invoking these emotional fields, provoked by relationships, keeps alive a constant desire, reflected in my dance. P.S. Fall in love, friend, you’ll dance better.” – Manuel Liñán
This performance contains some mature themes. Viewer discretion advised.

NHCC | Bank of America Theatre

In the arid Bolivian highlands, an elderly Quechua couple has been living a tranquil life for years. While he takes their small herd of llamas out to graze, she keeps house and walks for miles with the other local women to fetch precious water. When an uncommonly long drought threatens everything, they know, Virginio and Sisa must decide whether to stay and maintain their traditional way of life or admit defeat and move in with family members in the city. Their dilemma is precipitated by the arrival of their grandson Clever, who comes to visit with news. The three of them must face, each in their own way, the effects of a changing environment, the importance of tradition, and the meaning of life itself.
This visually jaw-dropping debut feature by photographer-turned-filmmaker Alejandro Loayza Grisi is lensed by award-winning cinematographer Barbara Alvarez (Lucrecia Martel’s The Headless Woman) and won the Grand Jury Prize (World Cinema Dramatic) at the Sundance Film Festival.
Release Year: 2022 | Running time: 87 minutes | Country: Bolivia, Uruguay, France | Language: Spanish and Quechua with English subtitles.

Instituto Cervantes Film Series: Live Visual Music
2024-09-05 | Virtual
2:00 am (MST)
In this online film series, which plays throughout the month of September on the Instituto Cervantes Vimeo channel, we bring together, in collaboration with the Punto y Raya platform, four sessions with experimental pieces that allow us to explore the possibilities of the audio-visual image and abstraction as a form of creation: a freer creation, where form, color, movement and sound compose evocative messages.
The short films will be available on the Cervantes Institute’s Vimeo channel for one week, starting at 2:00 am on September 5. Cervantes Vimeo Link Here
Abstracción en movimiento: Punto y Raya at the Instituto Cervantes
To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the emergence of abstract animation through what was known as “Absolute Cinema“, in which European avant-garde visual artists such as Hans Richter, “Viking” Eggeling or Walter Ruttmann sought to expand their pictorial practices using the incipient language of the cinematograph, the first Punto y Raya workshop was held in June 2021.
Organized by the Cervantes Institute at its headquarters in Warsaw in collaboration with the Polish-Japanese Academy of Information Techniques, the Catalan animator and visual artist Aurora Gasull Altisent proposed to re-signify this beautiful practice through the eyes and hearts of hearing impaired children from the Głuchoniemych Institute in Warsaw. The participants, aged 12 to 13, created and performed multiple live silent pieces using a visual instrument built by Gasull and programmed in TouchDesigner: an instrument that allows the real-time generation of simple geometric shapes (triangle, circle, rectangle) that change color, size, rotation, line thickness, opacity and persistence through MiDi Korg NanoKontrol2 controllers.

Live Visual Music is the compilation of the works resulting from this workshop, which aimed to provide useful tools to this group, and thus develop a potential professional career in the field of the art of painting music (VJing) and the visualization of music and its vibration.
In short, with the aim of generating visual scores in the minds of the spectators, a group of 12 and 13-year-old hearing-impaired schoolchildren from Warsaw let themselves be guided by the Catalan animator and visual artist Aurora Gasull to animate formal and rhythmic compositions of abstract forms that move and evolve in time: silent works in which the language of cinema, light in movement, stands out.
Screening: Live Visual Music; Director: Aurora Gasull; Year: 2021; Format: Digital; Running time: Cortometraje – 20 min; Genre: Animation/Animación; Country: Polonia; Rated/Calificacion: SC
“Abstracción en movimiento” presents the pieces produced by those attending the Punto y Raya workshops held at the Instituto Cervantes centers in Prague, Tunis, Utrecht and Warsaw, since 2021.
Young students between the ages of 12 and 16, guided by artists and expert facilitators and directed by Noel Palazzo and Ana Santos – directors of the Punto y Raya Festival – offer us for this cycle evocative films with great communicative force, created from simple forms and updated animation and illusionism techniques adapted to the new possibilities offered by the digital world.
“Abstracción en movimiento” Program:
• September 5: Live Visual Music (2021), coordinated by Aurora Gasull
• September 12: Con ton y son (2022), coordinated by Pepon Meneses and Laura Ginès
• September 19: Generations and The Country of the Future (2023), coordinated by Ana Santos and Nöel Palazzo
• September 26: Abstract phantasmagorias (2023), coordinated by Ana Santos and Nöel Palazzo.
All titles will be available on the Instituto Cervantes Vimeo channel for one week, from 2:00 am on the Thursday indicated until 2:00 am the following Thursday.

Lensic 360: Los Lobos
2024-09-07 | Roy E. Disney Center for Performing Arts: Albuquerque Journal Theatre, 1701 4th St SW, Albuquerque, NM, 87102
7:30 pm (Door 6:30 pm)
NHCC | Albuquerque Journal Theatre
Los Lobos at 50: It’s a matter of time. 50 years to be exact. And in that time Los Lobos have created an unprecedented body of work, a legacy of greatness. The numbers are staggering: 100+ gigs a year for five decades running, crossing millions of miles to rock millions of fans. And that’s just at the live shows. In between they’ve recorded 17 studio albums, 7 live LPs, 3 compilations, 2 EPs, 2 DVDs, and contributed 40+ guest appearances on their friends’ recordings — all garnering 5 Grammys, an Austin City Limits Hall of Fame induction, the ALMA Richie Valens Pioneer Award, NEA and Hispanic Heritage Foundation Honors, Congressional recognitions, plus countless “Keys to the City” and “Los Lobos Day” celebrations. And those are just a few of the highlights.
Beyond all the hoopla and applause (and the source of it all, really) is the tremendous heart. Rather, hearts. Cinco corazones. Five blood brothers who have dedicated their off-stage time to helping others, working for peace and justice, penning some of the most literate and important music of their time, transforming the hard cries from the East L.A. barrio into songs of hope, tales of common folk finding ways to endure. The young wolves were weaned on late-night radio’s soul, R&B, and doo-wop. Were cured through the African-American currents of the blues, jazz, and rock ‘n’ roll. An amalgam. As proud Chicanos, their songs have always glistened with the distillation from their Mexican and Latin American roots — nourished by Norteña and rancheras, buoyed by bolero and cumbias, soaring on the rhythms of son huasteco and son jarocho. Los Lobos have helped spread the rich diversity of cultures across every continent, throughout the global community. Kids in Antwerp now know about Aztlán. Residents of Luxor and Ghana are crooning Lalo Guerrero. People from Laos and Bulgaria are belting “La Bamba” — all thanks to The Wolves as cultural ambassadors. Talk about a living legacy. Talk about a productive half century. And in the true rebel spirit, they did it all on their own terms, against formula. For the ages. To our delight. Quite simply, they are one of the tightest, one of the best, one of the most prolific bands ever. And, amazingly, with the original founding members as the pack the entire time. Unprecedented. As their liner notes put it, quite simply: “Los Lobos still are David Hidalgo, Louie Pérez, Jr., Cesar Rosas, Conrad Lozano, Steve Berlin.”
