Film: The Rise and Fall of the Brown Buffalo
2018-04-05 | NHCC-Newsletter-November-2-30
7 pm
An innovative, genre-defying look at the life of radical Chicano lawyer, author and countercultural icon Oscar Zeta Acosta. Best known for his volatile friendship with legendary journalist-provocateur Hunter S. Thompson, who used him as inspiration for the character Dr. Gonzo in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Acosta was himself the author of two groundbreaking autobiographical novels, The Autobiography of a Brown Buffalo and The Revolt of the Cockroach People. His powerful literary voice, brash courtroom style, and notorious revolutionary antics made him a revered figure in the Chicano Movement of the 1960s and 1970s. The film weaves archival footage and images with dramatized portrayals of Acosta, Thompson, and other key figures and moments of the era. Presented in partnership with New Mexico PBS as part of the Bank of America Free Thursday Film Series.
2018; Philip Rodriguez; English; 57 minutes; not rated (suggested R rating).
Free ticketed event; tickets available one hour before show

We are proud to welcome Dolores Huerta to deliver our keynote speech and actor/composer/musician/activist Danny Valdez to perform. Additionally, the 2018 César Chávez and Dolores Huerta ¡Sí Se Puede! awards will be presented to people who have served the community in the spirit of the United Farm Workers leaders.
Dolores Huerta, a native of Dawson, NM, was co-founder, with César Chávez, of the United Farm Workers Union. In 2012, Huerta was recognized for her decades of ceaseless civil rights and labor organizing when Barack Obama granted her the Presidential Medal of Freedom Award, the greatest civilian honor in the United States.
Danny Valdez joined the UFW in his early years, and later became a founding member of El Teatro Campesino, helping to produce theatre and compose music that brought the message of the UFW to the farmworker. Valdez is an accomplished actor, musician, and composer; he may be best known for his roles in such classic movies as Zoot Suit and La Bamba.
During the week leading up to this wonderful event, a collaboration of student and community organizations will hold Farmworkers Awareness Week, a three-day event honoring the legacy of the farmworker community through interactive activities, information booths, art displays, and farmworker presentations.

Maria Hinojosa & Simon Romero in Conversation
2018-04-13 | NM
7 pm at the Kimo Theatre
Followed by exhibition closing reception at 516 ARTS
INFO: 516arts.org, 242-1445
TICKETS: $12 / $8 Friends of 516 ARTS, available at kimotickets.com

This keynote talk is the final event for the two-part exhibition The US-Mexico Border: Place, Imagination, and Possibility, on view at 516 ARTS through April 14 and at the Albuquerque Museum through April 15.

“Hamilton”: Changing the Way We Learn History
2018-04-14 | History and Literary Arts Building
2 pm
During this event, teachers and teens will lead an interactive discussion (with music, video and lyrics) about why the School Library Journal calls “Hamilton” a “‘darn near perfect’ teaching tool for history” and how rap, hip hop, spoken word poetry and other popular genres can newly engage young people (and the rest of us) in learning about historical events.
The radiating effects of “Hamilton,” the musical, are wide-ranging. The rap/hip hop lyrics have drawn young people to the story of Alexander Hamilton and the birth of a nation. The musical has made a bestseller (again) of Ron Chernow’s biography of Hamilton. Poetry-lovers are finding even more space for rap and hip hop in the narrative canon. And Lin Manuel Miranda has been launched into stardom, including a 2015 MacArthur Foundation Award and a 2016 Pulitzer Prize in Drama.
“Hamilton” is also changing the way we understand history. “The primarily black and Hispanic cast reminds audiences that American history is not just the history of white people, and frequent allusions to slavery serve as constant reminders that just as the revolutionaries were fighting for their freedom, slaves were held in bondage” (The Atlantic, 2015). The musical also emphasizes the significant role that immigrants have played in the nation’s history.
This event will be facilitated by teens from Albuquerque High, teens and teachers from Bosque School, and the NHCC’s Director of History and Literary Arts Valerie Martínez.

Son Como Son 25th Anniversary: A Retrospective Celebration of Salsa in Albuquerque, New Mexico
2018-04-21 | Roy E. Disney Center for Performing Arts: Albuquerque Journal Theatre, 1701 4th St SW, Albuquerque, NM, 87102
8 pm
This 25th anniversary concert is Son Como Son’s tribute to the rich lineage of Cuban music. It is a tribute to the dance—the dance between the Yoruban spiritual world and the Spanish colonialists, the dance between the past and the future, the dance where the ocean meets the desert. Most of all, it is a tribute to the dancers of Albuquerque—to each and every one who has buoyed this ship for the past 25 years and helped to put Albuquerque on the salsa map.
$24, $25, $27 w/ $2 discount for seniors/children 12 and younger, and $3 discount for NHCC members

In October 1992, after building successful musical careers in Cuba and recording and traveling across the globe, Daniel and César Bauvallet migrated from Havana to Albuquerque, NM. Finding a thriving salsa scene in their new home, the Bauvallet brothers jumped right in, playing with a variety of bands in their first few months on the scene. Almost immediately, their musical sensibilities began to influence the Latin music soundscape.
In the spring of 1993, César formed his own band, naming it Son Como Son (“They Are as They Are”), and coining the phrase “Salsa Cuban Style.” His vision was to organize an ensemble of skilled musicians, eager to learn a distinctive form of salsa, who would play his original compositions and arrangements that were stylistically Cuban. The players, from a variety of musical backgrounds and levels of experience, were all devoted to advancing musically and working together; virtually all the current members of Son Como Son have been with the band for at least 24 years.
El tiempo sigue su marcha sin parar, solo perdura lo que es original. Lo que en un breve momento en la vida dejó una huella. (César Bauvallet)

La Canoa Legacy Talks: A Lie Halfway Around the World: The Carl Taylor Murder Case
2018-04-21 | History and Literary Arts Building
2 pm
Gabriel Meléndez of the Center for Regional Studies will discuss “A Lie Halfway Around the World,” a chapter in his book, Hidden Chicano Cinema. The chapter explores the shallow mysteries and deep complexities surrounding the death of the travel-adventurer and freelance journalist Carl N. Taylor in 1936. Taylor was murdered as he readied himself to attend a gala event in Albuquerque. What appears as a set of non-sequential links between New Mexico’s chronic poverty, its religious traditions, and its reputation as an arts mecca results in a series of unexpected outcomes that stem from the intricate and layered master-chore boy relationship that drew together “the mountain boy,” Modesto Trujillo, and his writer-employer, Carl Taylor. The real-life drama far outstripped Hollywood’s attempt to market its sensationalistic B-movie, “The Lash of the Penitentes,” designed to exploit the fears and anxieties of the nation, Taylor’s tragic death, and smudge the dignity of the neighbors Taylor had come to know and admire.
Free event, open to the public.

Flamenco Concert: “Lorca in the Keys of Hands and Voice"
2018-04-23 | NHCC-Newsletter-November-2-30
6:30 pm to 8:30 pm
A concert presented by Adam Kent (pianist) and Fernando Barros (flamenco singer), is a musical innovation inspired by his example. Lorca collected melodies from the Spanish folklore repertoire and transcribed them for the piano using two different concepts: 1) adapting the old melodies to some of his poem, and 2) singing the old songs using the expressive, emotive characteristics inherent to flamenco music.
Additionally, this concert offers a new innovation, arising from the profound influence Lorca and flamenco music had on the composer, singer and songwriter, Leonard Cohen. Our metamorphic reveal consists, not merely in translating Cohen’s lyrics into Spanish, but of combining Lorca’s poems that readily adapt to the melodies of Cohen, like a glove coupled to a hand.
This event is part of Semana Cervantina (Cervantine Week) to commemorate the “International Day of the Book” and the “Day of the Spanish Language.”

Book Presentation: "Madrid: A Culinary History"
2018-04-25 | Domenici Education Building, 1701 4th Street SW, Albuquerque, NM, 87102
6 pm to 8 pm
As the capital city of Spain, Madrid is nowadays considered one of the most interesting “food towns” in the world. This is perhaps due to the wide variety of specialty dishes that its cuisine boasts ranging from the old- fashioned and traditional to the modern, and even the futuristic; a cuisine that has consistently received high praise from the likes of New York Times’ critic Mark Bittman and TV celebrity chefs such as Anthony Bourdain and Mario Battali.
Author Maria-Paz Moreno, professor of Spanish in the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures at the University of Cincinnati, looks at the gastronomical history of Madrid. She traces the historical origins and evolution of Madrid’s cuisine, exploring major trends, most innovative chefs, restaurants and dishes, and tells the story of this fascinating city from the point of view of a food lover. At the event: enjoy some Spanish tapas.
This event is part of Semana Cervantina (Cervantine Week) to commemorate the “International Day of the Book” and the “Day of the Spanish Language.”
