Mis queridos! Welcome to another week of Latinopia and do we have fun videos for you this week! Our Latinopia Showcase highlights a new documentary work-in-progress that you can help complete. “Juanito’s Lab” is a true labor of love by San Antonio filmmakers Enrique Lopetegui and Guillermina Zabala who are documenting the music of an extraordinarily gifted blind musician Juanito Castillo. Check out this amazing talent and help out if you can by going to the link and contributing to the completion of this important film. In literature, we visit with four stellar Latino authors convened at the El Paso Juntos Arts and Literature Festival in April of 2010. Check out what Sergio Troncoso, Benjamin Sáenz, Christine Granados and Dagoberto Gilb think about how labels such as Chicano, Latino, Hispanic and Fronterizo affect the reception of their work in mainstream society. Your Tia hopes the next year is being good to you and that you have made that New Year’s Resolution to visit Latinopia at least once a week!
