ASK TIA TENOPIA 4.29.13

April 29, 2013 by Tia Tenopia

OLMECA & FRIENDS AND LOS ANGELES WARD.

Greetings and salutations sagacious and savvy Latinopians! This week’s videos are in Music and Cinema. In music we visit again with Olmeca & Friends. This is a rollicking impromptu improvisation of musicians in a crowd sourcing fundraiser for Olmeca next album. Check it this chévere music! In Cinema we showcase the second episode of the dramatic web series Los Angeles Ward starring Jade Puga and directed by Richard Montes.This dynamic duo envisions a dark futuristic Los Angeles where corporate interests manipulate civil authorities to keep an underclass of Angelenos down. But an underground movement is afoot! In keeping with our policy of making Latinopia family friendly we’ve bleeped out a few words. Check it out!

And, of course, please visit our regular bloggers. Angela Ortiz has a new Photo of the week for us, and Lazaro De La Tierra has the worst day of his life in Zombie Mex Diaries. And be sure catch up on our regular blogs Thinking Latina with Sara Inés Calderón, Bravo Road with Don Felípe, Tales of Torres, Arnie and Porfi with Sergio Hernández.
