Salsa legend, Hector Lavoe, used to live on Bryant and Westchester Avenues in the Bronx. On Sunday, June 22, the street was renamed Hector Lavoe Way after El Cantante de los Cantantes . Family, politicians, Lavoe fans, and local residents celebrate the sunny summer day with a block party full of music, Puerto Rican flags, and love. Among those in attendance were Hector Lavoe's sister, his wife, Carmen, and son, Jose Alberto. Jose Alberto proudly showed off a replica of the street sign that he and his family cherish. The building Lavoe called home. Hector Lavoe's wife, Carmen, and sister enjoy the festival.

The 1st LATIN AMERICAN POETIC SHORT FILM FESTIVAL at the acclaimed NUYORICAN POET'S CAFÉ will feature Poetic short films by Latin American Filmmakers. Our mission is to support the emerging Independent Filmmaker by providing exposure in the Down Town Cultural Center of Manhattans’ Lower Eastside. At the NUYORICAN POETS CAFÉ Filmmakers can present their work to a diverse audience in an intimate atmosphere, meet and exchange ideas.
The LATIN AMERICAN POETIC SHORT FILM FESTIVAL is scheduled for September 2008.
"Poetic Film is a combination of expressive image and sound. It is original and personal. It need not be about poetry and yet, it can be set to poetry. It is lyrical, dreamlike, expresses new ideas, evokes emotion, triggers thought and heightens the spirit. If we are fortunate, Poetic Film may some day be uncovered for us to discover."
