SUQUEIROS EN LOS ANGELES |
||
|---|---|---|---|
| There may never be a triad of muralists more influential to the artistic landscape of Mexico in the 20th Century than Mexican artists José Clemente Orozco, Diego Rivera and David Alfaro Siqueiros. And for a limited time, the latter of the crew will be exhibited at The Autry, with an emphasis on Siqueiros’ seven months spent in the City of Angels in 1932. Over 100 works will be showcased, including archives and drawings depicting his “America Tropical” mural — a work scandelized by its revolutionary overtones and subsequently neglected…until now. | |||

MIAMI CULINARY TOURS |

For less than you’d pay for an entrée at a so-called five-star restaurant, their guides will lead you through Miami’s culinary maze, sampling bites from renowned chefs and discovering artisanal creations at various off-the-beaten-path locations. Whether you’re in the mood for crispy, Cuban empanadas in Little Havana or a mixologist-perfected mojito on South Beach, Miami Culinary Tours promises something for everyone. | |||

GUARCO |
||
|---|---|---|---|
| New York City-based, Uruguay-born artist Guarco’s debut album, “Fiebre” unleashes an eclectic mix of samba, folklore and reggae fused with jangly, high energy rock and roll. Coupled with introspective lyrics (mostly in Spanish) and a militant delivery, his songs are as catchy and groovy as they are solemn statements of the world we live in. Guarco’s live show is full of energy as he takes it back to the basics of what live music is meant to do: make you move! | |||
