Nonbinary Actor Garcia On Being Excited & Terrified After Landing a Role in Netflix’s ‘Tales of the City’

Manuel Betancourt — Thu, 06 Jun 2019 21:57:36 +0000

The plight of any actor is difficult. Booking roles whether big or small is always a challenge: every audition can feel like a make it or break it moment. This is particularly acute for actors who stray in one way or another from what the industry has convinced us is “the norm.” Garcia knows this all too

I rarely visit LA Observed after beefing with editor Kevin Roderick about a mariachi piece I wrote for LA City Beat which made reference to La Fonda on Wilshire as being the first restaurant to incorporate mariachi with the dining experience (true fact) months after I left a PR position with the Mexican restaurant. He

Ex Crush Got His Girl Knocked Up

I’m not the type to crush on movie stars. Okay, maybe when I was 10 and had a crush on every teenager that graced the cover of Big Bopper, but it takes someone special like Chad Allen (holla, if you hear me). So when news struck that my one and only famous person crush Gael

More Bolaño For Everyone

Remezcla Team — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 21:00:00 +0000

We’ve had García Márquez, Cortázar, Vargas Llosa, and Borges as some of the greatest authors of Latin American literature. Add another name to that well too known cannon: Bolaño. Considered a spawn of Borges, in his books the Chilean-born, Mexico-City based Roberto Bolaño does something that makes all lovers of literature squeal with joy: He

Mi Amigo en el Baño

Remezcla Estaff — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 21:00:00 +0000

This song by Puerto Rican singer-songwriter Kany Garcia is actually not a joke, it has become a “women’s anthem” of sorts (hence the proud women in solidarity at the end of the video.) The 26-year old Franco de Vita protege, whose Spanish father was a priest before meeting Kany’s mom (ay esas boricuas!) has caused

Garcia more popular than Perez or Jackson

Remezcla Estaff — Sun, 18 Nov 2007 21:00:00 +0000

The New York Times reveals in restrained disbelief that among the top 10 last names in the country, there are two Hispanic last names: Garcia (#8) and Rodriguez (#9). This is because, according to the article and the US Census, Latinos population grew 58% in the 1990s and now people are embracing their heritage and

Celia Cruz, the Pope y los reyes de la bachata?

Remezcla Estaff — Mon, 29 Jan 2007 21:00:00 +0000

When Celia Cruz died in 2003, NYC graffiti artist Antonio “Chico” Garcia painted a lively mural of her on Houston (at Ave B). We dug it. Street art meets musical tribute…. very cool. When Pope John Paul II passed in 2005, Celia was covered up by a pastelish rendering of the man… not quite as

The Passion of Antonio El Pipa

Remezcla Estaff — Fri, 24 Feb 2006 21:00:00 +0000

There is something mystical about flamenco. Federico García Lorca described it well by calling it, “…purely Andalusian singing, which already existed in germ in our region before the Gypsies arrived to it. It comes from Gypsy races, crossing through the cemetery of years and the depths of withered winds. It comes from the first cry

Doña Rosita Returns to El Repertorio

Remezcla Estaff — Sat, 31 Dec 2005 21:00:00 +0000

From now until January 21, 2006, Federico García Lorca’s play, Doña Rosita la soltera, is being reincarnated after 23 years of absence from El Repertorio Español. Directed by esteemed René Buch and starring Miss Universe 2001, Denise Quiñones, as Rosita, Doña Rosita la soltera makes a stunning comeback. Federico García Lorca, one of Spain’s most
