Familia,

As we navigate this brutal American terrain, suffering an unwanted war and the bail-out of millionaires, now is the time for every Boricua to recall their history and find solace in their culture. (Of course, Pan-Latino compatriots and political allies are welcome as well.)

Tune out the debates and join Sery Colon and Melissa Mark-Viverito for ¡Alabanza! Corretjer: An Evening Celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the birth of Puerto Rican Nationalist Poet Júan Antonio Corretjer. This historic event will be held tonight, Saturday October 4th @ 7:30 PM at the Julia de Burgos Theater located at 1680 Lexington Avenue in El Barrio.

During the program, a number of revered Boricua poets, musicians and singers will pay tribute to Corretjer in a two-act theatrical performance that will include bilingual poems with background music, and interpretations of songs composed by Roy Brown and based on Júan Antonio Corretjer's poems. Artists Yasmín Hernández and Osvaldo Mártinez will exhibit two paintings honoring Juán Antonio Corretjer. Admission $20. For more information, email serycolon@aol.com.
