Feliz Navidades and happy holiday cheer to all you Latinopians! Your Tia Tenopia has been busy this week with shopping and all those Christmas parties you can’t get out of–hay, I don’t think I could stare another margarita or mojito in the eye! Well, you Tia has some fun videos for you this week. In Music, we visit with Louie Pérez, the songwriter and drummer for the celebrated Chicano music group Los Lobos. Louie tells us about how the group came to record their Grammy award winning soundtrack for the 1987 movie “La Bamba.” And in Art, we visit
with a classic car club that goes back to the 1940s! Check out the Eagle Rock Trompers and
their passion for classic American cars. A real treat for the eyes as you will see. And in Literature, Dr. Thelma Reyna returns with a review of Beautiful Maria of my Soul, a novel by Cuban American author Oscar Hijuelos. And as you go about your holiday shopping remember to support the arts–books, painting, prints, CDs and other cultura by Latinos make for excellent gifts! Oops, hay me llaman to yet another party…abrazos! Tia Tenopia
