The NHCC’s annual celebration of Carnaval is a dazzling spectacle of vibrant dance, engaging music, and beautiful costumes, featuring the band PANdemonium and the Odara Dance Ensemble and showcasing the Carnaval celebrations of Cuba, Trinidad, Brazil and New Orleans.
Carnaval, the festive season occurring before Lent in many countries, including Latin American and Caribbean nations as well as parts of the United States, is one of the world’s most widespread celebrations and one of its biggest parties. Among the guidelines that the Performing Arts program has developed, refined, and utilized since 1999 to design its programming and curate its seasons is the provision of a variety of annual programming that is specific to seasons, holidays, and celebrations, as well as culture-specific. Carnaval was first celebrated at the NHCC in 2002, and has been part of the Center’s regular seasonal programming since 2006, with regular performances by presenting partners Frank Leto & PANdemonium and Pilar Leto & the Odara Dance Ensemble. This year’s Carnaval 2019 marks the 14th annual Carnaval Celebration at the NHCC’s Roy E. Disney Center for Performing Arts.
$17, $22, $27 w/ $2 off for students, seniors and NHCC members. Group rates available

Frank Leto, musical director and leader of the band PANdemonium, with which he has recorded three world music CDs, is a multitalented instrumentalist who plays Brazilian and Afro-Cuban percussion and Trinidadian steel drums. His love for rhythms has taken him to Brazil, Puerto Rico, and Cuba; while in Cuba, he studied soneros, tres, and batá, as reflected in his original compositions and performances. Pilar Leto, founder and artistic director of the Odara Dance Ensemble, is a dancer, choreographer, and producer who has performed and taught Brazilian, Caribbean, and Afro-Cuban dance for over 25 years. She also studied in Cuba, with premier dancers of the Conjunto Folklórico Nacional and Raíces Profundas. Other members of PANdemonium and the Odara Dance Ensemble also have extensive and impressive backgrounds in Latin percussion and dance.

Qué Chola
2019-03-08 - 2019-08-04 | September-2019-Board-Meeting-Minutes
The Chola is a significant figure in the Latina imagination for the ways that she represents a feminine strength, power, and resilience in the face of racial, gender, and economic adversity. She is a figure that many young Latinas in the U.S. admire and emulate. The last few years have seen a surge in interest in the Chola as a figure and this exhibition will explore this dynamic from a feminist perspective through art and popular culture.
The Qué Chola Photo Board will be displayed in the exhibition and is an opportunity to honor the Cholas in our lives, past and present, by sharing photos of homegirls showing off their style and pride.
If you have a photo you’d like included on the photo board you can send them to us. And if you send them before March 8, they will be part of the Qué Chola! opening reception. For more information on how to share, click here.

Kala Anjali (Rental)
2019-03-09 | Roy E. Disney Center for Performing Arts: Albuquerque Journal Theatre, 1701 4th St SW, Albuquerque, NM, 87102
6 pm
Natyakalanjali Academy of Dance and Music presents Kala Anjali, an evening of East Indian dance, music, and martial arts. Nataykalanjali believes strongly in using the arts and deep-rooted culture of India for the betterment of today’s world. All profits from the show will be donated to the victims of the Kerala floods in Southern India, who have lost their homes in these floods.
This presentation seeks to create a cross-cultural conversation between the Indian classical arts and New Mexican viewers, making art forms accessible to different audiences around the world. Bharatanatyam (an Indian classical dance form) and Indian classical music are versatile and complete idioms, capable of telling stories. The Indian martial arts are said to be one of the most ancient arts of warfare. Natyakalanjali considers it to be an honor to be able to share these artistic experiences for a cause.
$25 w/ $5 discount for students

Kerala, the southernmost tip of India, receives approximately 2,000 millimeters of rainfall annually. At the end of 2018, Kerala received 2,350 millimeters of rain in just two weeks. As a result, two main rivers, the Periyar and the Pamba, were flooded and 22 dams had to be opened to avoid damage to the structures. This led to landslides and flooding in 13 of the 14 districts in Kerala. Nearly 21,747 miles of roads, an estimated 174,000 houses, and 218 bridges need to be rebuilt. Crops of around 46,000 hectares have been destroyed, and the total flood loss has been estimated to be $5.6 billion USD. Kala Anjali hopes to add a drop of assistance to this ocean of need in its humble way
Natyakalanjali is an organization for the arts of India—Bharatanatyam, including Carnatic music and allied classical and contemporary forms, with a holistic focus on education, performance, and community outreach. Natyakalanjali is also a premiere academy of Bharathanatyam (Indian dance) and Carnatic (South Indian vocal music) in Albuquerque, with branches in Little Rock, AR and Trivandrum, India. Natyakalanjali focuses on traditional ways of imparting Indian arts.
Kala Anjali’s vision and mission stem from two principles: first, every artist is a sensitive respondent to experiences within and around him/her, and second, ambient and holistic exposure to excellence in the arts must be offered as a benefit to the world.

Film: Harvest Season
2019-03-14 | NHCC-Newsletter-November-2-30
The NHCC’s Roy E. Disney Center for Performing Arts is closed due to facilities issues. As a result, this film at the National Hispanic Cultural Center, on March 28 is postponed until further notice. For questions about tickets, please contact the NHCC Box Office at 505-383-4771. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.
7 pm
California’s Napa Valley is one of the premier wine growing regions in the world, celebrated for decades as a kind of “American Eden” and an idyllic, luxurious global destination.

Yet the vineyard workers and the small producers with roots in the fields are rarely credited for the valley’s famed bounty. Filmed over the course of one agricultural year, Harvest Season takes an “other side of the valley” approach, delving into the lives of people who are intimately connected to the winemaking process and bringing forward those who are often background characters in other narratives about wine. Presented in partnership with New Mexico PBS as part of the Bank of America Free Thursday Film Series.
2019; Bernardo Ruiz; English; 90 minutes; not rated.
Free ticketed event; tickets available one hour before show

La Canoa: Daniel Webb "The Power and Place of the Apachería in Colonial New Mexico"
2019-03-16 | History and Literary Arts Building
2 pm
Please join Daniel Webb as he examines the history of the diverse population of Athapaskan-speaking peoples identified as Apache (Ndé) in the colonial archives of northern New Spain. He will trace the different stages of their migration and territorial expansion across the vast geographical expanse known as the Apachería (the Apaches’ ancestral homelands), illustrating their relations with other sovereign Indian nations and Hispano settlers, and the policies that Spain introduced in the eighteenth century to restrict their mobility. Through analysis of a wide range of historical materials, including sources from the Spanish Archives of New Mexico and the Archivo General de la Nación de México, Webb’s research highlights the cultural practices and the environmental conditions that allowed the diverse Apache bands, clans and family lineages to flourish in the periphery of colonial New Mexico. Paradoxically, this contributed to the decline of tribal sovereignty in the nineteenth century.
Daniel Webb (University of Chicago, Ph.D. 2017) is a Visiting Scholar at the University of New Mexico’s Center for Regional Studies. He is an early American historian with specializations in Native American, U.S.-Mexico Borderlands, and Latino/a history. His research has been supported by the John Carter Brown Library, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Omohundro Institute of Early American History and Culture.

Trinity Downwinders 2nd Annual Benefit (Rental)
2019-03-17 | NM
1 to 5 pm
Trinity Downwinders 2nd Annual Benefit being held to raise funds for members of the TBDC to travel to Washington, DC for further Congressional Hearings. There was a Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing on June 27, 2018, which was attended by over 12 members of the TBDC. Members of the TBDC are preparing to travel to Washington, DC for hearings on expanding the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA) to include the people of New Mexico. Members will testify before Congress on the negative health effects suffered by the people of New Mexico due to the over exposure to radiation after the July 16, 1945, nuclear detonation (atomic bomb). Many people living in and around the Trinity Test Site (150 mile radius) have suffered and continue to suffer with health problems since the time of the test.

RECA was passed in 1990 by the US Government to provide health care coverage and compensation to downwinders from other parts of the country but has never included the people of New Mexico. The fund has paid out over 2.3 Billion Dollars in reparations to downwinders in parts of Nevada, Utah, Idaho, Arizona and Colorado but never to New Mexico downwinders. It also provides the best health care coverage available with no limits, deductibles, co-payments, etc.
The TBDC has the full support of the New Mexico Congressional delegation. Senators Tom Udall and Martin Heinrich are co-sponsors of the bill to amend RECA to include the people of New Mexico. Representative Ben Ray Lujan is the primary sponsor on the House side and both bills have bi-partisan support in the US Congress. Newly elected Governor Michelle Lujan-Grisham is also in support of the bills to amend RECA.
Musicians Featured: New Mexico 2018 Hall of Fame recipient Franc Chewiwie & the Latin Jazz AllStars and Paul Pino & The Tone Daddies and *Nosotros
Tickets: $20/person, $35/couple. Children under 12 free. Tickets can be purchased at door. Cash/Checks only payable to CCNS (Tax Deductible). Concerned Citizens for Nuclear Safety (CCNS) is the fiscal nonprofit agent for the TBDC .
