SUMMARY:NHCC Book Club: The Anatomy of Magic by J.C. Cervantes
DESCRIPTION:6:00 – 7:30 pm  \nThe NHCC invites lovers of literature\, folks who love to read\, and those who enjoy talking about the history and the vast array of identities that contribute to Latinidad/Hispanidad to join us! We will meet on the fourth Wednesday of every month in the Center’s HLA Conference Room.  \nFor the month of April 2026\, the NHCC Book Club will feature: The Anatomy of Magic by J.C. Cervantes:   \nPLEASE MAKE YOUR RESERVATION HERE! \nA young woman learns to embrace all the messy imperfections of life and love with some help from her magical family in this next novel by New York Times bestselling author J.C. Cervantes. \nLilian Estrada seemingly has it all: an ob-gyn star on the rise\, a master at balancing work with whirlwind romances and part of a family of fiercely loyal and exceptional women\, all bound together by an extraordinary secret. The Estrada women each possess a unique power\, and Lily shines with the rare gift to manipulate memories. Yet not even her mystical abilities can shield her from a harrowing event at the hospital\, one that sends her powers—and her confidence—spiraling out of control. \nSeeking solace\, Lily retreats to her family’s ancestral home in Mexico\, only to find herself face-to-face with a ghost from her past—Sam\, the first love she never forgot. Nearly a decade since she last saw him\, Sam is hardly the boy she once knew\, and as old flames spark to life\, Lily must navigate the mysteries of their shared history and the depths of her own heart if she hopes to control her unpredictable magic. (Goodreads)  \nThis book is available at the Albuquerque Public Library: 3 copies plus 1 audiobook on Libby\, 1 ebook at NM State Library  \nThis is a free community event. Please let us know who will be attending by registering below.  \nNHCC Book Club | New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs

SUMMARY:Huehuetenango Songbook
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, April 25\, 20267:00 pm \nNHCC | Wells Fargo Auditorium \nConcert of 16th- and 17th-century music from the Huehuetenango collection—a repertoire of polyphonic music and Gregorian chant fragments compiled between 1582 and 1635 in a remote region of what is now western Guatemala—performed by Argentine tenor Jonatan Alvarado and Argentine lutenist and vihuelist Ariel Abramovich. \nThe Indiana University Library holds a collection of 15 volumes and fragments of polyphonic music and Gregorian chant from the present-day Department of Huehuetenango in Guatemala in its Latin American music collection. \nOriginally compiled between 1582 and 1635\, these rare books bear witness to the musical practices of a remote community\, surrounded by the highest mountains in Central America and therefore far from the large colonial urban centers\, their imposing cathedrals with their choirs and desks. \nThe quantity and quality of the pieces represented in this collection—more than 350 works—make it an essential repertoire for anyone interested not only in gaining a deeper understanding of the circulation of printed and manuscript music in colonial America\, but also of the complex and mysterious ways in which European modes of expression manifested themselves through the minds\, hands\, and voices of the indigenous peoples. \nFree community event. \nRESERVE YOUR TICKET HERE! \nHuehuetenango Songbook | New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs  \n
