THIS WEEK ON LATINOPIA 12.24.18

December 24, 2018 by Tia Tenopia

THIS WEEK ON LATINOPIA:  DR. ALVARO HUERTA ON THE LEGACY OF LEO ESTRADA,  RICHARD YNIGUEZ ON ANTHONY QUINN, ANGELA ORTIZ, ON HER PHOTOGRAPHY, RICARDO ACUÑA ON “MUJER”, AND SERGIO HERNANDEZ ON “TAMALES R US.”

This week we pay respects to celebrated urban planner and sociologist Dr. Leo Estrada who passed away on November 3, 2018. As fellow urban planner Dr. Alvaro Huerta explains in his tribute, Estrada taught at UCLA for decades and was a mentor to generations of Latino urban planners.  Dr. Huerta’s call for more urban planners is timely and on point.

Also this week we visit with celebrated actor Richard Yniguez, star of the classic movie Boulevard Nights, as he remembers working with screen legend Anthony Quinn when the both collaborated on the TV series Man and the City.

And in the world of photography, accomplished Panamanian-American photographer Angela Ortiz recounts the vision behind the multi-layered still photography.

Also this week we visit with author Ricardo Acuña as he read his poem “Mujer”  accompanied by violinist David Stother.

And no week would be complete without a Sergio Hernandez cartoon. This week the master gives us “Tamales R Us.”

Enjoy your week on Latinopia.

POLITICAL SALSA Y MÁS with SAL BALDENEGRO 01.17.21 “DECENCY IS NOT TRANSACTIONAL”

January 17, 2021 By Tia Tenopia

Decency is not transactional… Again, by your leave, I’m going to deviate from my usual diet of politics and such and focus on a topic that is more personal, more intimate, yet just as important as (community-based or partisan) politics: gratitude. As I look around today’s political landscape, I see more enmity than friendliness. This […]
