Domingos en Arte: La Chamba and Calixto Oviedo y Son Sabroso
With roots in East and South Central Los Angeles,
La Chamba is driven by electric guitar that fuses '60's psychedelic-inspired surf-pop from Peru with Afro-Latin rhythms. They will be at the NHCC on July 1 at 7:30 pm. On July 8 at 7:30 pm, come see
Calixto Oviedo, a living encyclopedia of Cuban drumming and percussion, ranging from the deepest roots of African-influenced folklore to the hottest dance music and the cutting edge of jazz. He was one of the creators of the
timba
rhythm, was the drummer for the iconic Havana group NG la Banda, and is the in-demand drummer for the Afro-Cuban All Stars.
Domingos en Arte, a summer music and dance series, is a family-friendly event that features live music, drinks, and delicious Latin cuisine from
La Fonda del Bosque in the NHCC's Fountain Courtyard. Thank you to our media sponsor,
Telemundo 2 KASA.

In June, the Bank of America Free Thursday Film Series began screening films from
Becoming American: A Documentary Film and Discussion Series on Our Immigration Experience
. On June 28 at 7 pm, see the powerful documentary
Welcome to Shelbyville, focusing on a small Tennessee town in the heart of the Bible Belt as it grapples with discrimination in the face of changing demographics. Shelbyville's long-time residents are challenged with how to best integrate the recent arrival of hundreds of Somali refugees of Muslim faith, hired by the local Tyson chicken-processing plant. As the town erupts in controversy, we hear from all parts of the community: Latino workers grappling with their own immigrant identity; longtime African American residents balancing perceived threats to their livelihood against the values they learned from their own civil rights struggles; the Somali refugees attempting to make new lives for their families and maintain their dignity in a hostile new land; and white civic and church leaders who are attempting to guide their congregations and citizens through a period of unprecedented change.
