Dolores Huerta's 1974 rally photo captures her in a United Farmworkers sweater vest, symbolizing activism and cultural identity, featured in 'Chicano Camera Culture.'

Espina humorously admitted to oversleeping on a significant news day, stating, 'Breaking news, mi gente! I can't believe it.' His videos celebrated Maduro's fall but also expressed concern about the complexities of the situation.

Eliades Ochoa's aura is so powerful that under the generous rays of sunlight streaming through the large window on this March morning, he evokes a Western film.

"Doing It Too' is about confidence in motion. Cortland brought a clean, elevated touch that kept everything feeling so effortless. There's a rhythm to this song that people have been picking up on."

The album showcases an audacious blend of trap, rock, pop, and experimental elements, all infused with a refreshing emotional honesty.

Braulio gives the crowd an incredible insight into a decade's worth of poster designs for Good Room, revealing how he finds inspiration in the most mundane things just by paying attention to what has 'already been designed' and remixing it into something new.

Abraham Vazquez has this lusty, powerful, aching voice. This song is about loss, and you feel it with every inch of intensity that he's performing.

"In that darkness, I found myself. This album is totally about empowerment. There's an energy behind it of divine justice... What's for you belongs to you."

Genre-blending in Latin music is nothing new, but timing and execution set them apart, along with an uncanny ability to turn internet absurdism into cool songs, all wrapped in sharp musicianship and rock 'n' roll panache.

Creative expression is one of the most powerful ways young people make sense of themselves and the world around them.

The first is George Frideric Handel's beloved "Zadok The Priest" written for the coronation of England's King George II. The second takes the audience forward in time to 1936's "Dona Nobis Pacem," an emotional plea for peace composed by Ralph Vaughan Williams with words from the poetry of Walt Whitman.

It makes me feel proud, simply because of the specific time we're in right now. It definitely takes a lot of courage for kids my age to represent their culture. Anthony Benitez, an 18-year-old violin student born in the United States to Mexican immigrants, expressed how the academy provides a meaningful outlet for cultural expression amid punitive immigration enforcement affecting Latino and immigrant families across the country.

It is a dance tradition, but it's very much culturally rooted. It's also for many, if not all, the people involved, a spiritual practice. But even in different (dance) groups that hold to different ways of being, we still collaborate together - we still work together to uplift the culture.

Over the years my main focus has been jazz so bringing that style and rhythm up to the stage, they found really interesting. Ellis thinks his jazz background made him stand out among his fellow contestants, attributing his success to the distinctive musical perspective he brought to the competition.

That Democratic stronghold turned red for the first time in its history, and Pulido is determined to paint it blue again as part of a national wave to return control of the House to his party. The country is watching the contest closely as a barometer for the midterms nationwide.

Then López entered, dancing. Wearing a Popeye shirt, he raised one hand above his head and bounced like a pogo stick. Rocking through some b-boy footwork, he added Latin flavor, shimmying his shoulders. The official weighing (139.6 pounds) seemed merely an interruption to his dance as he continued prowling the stage. Stevenson was forced to walk over to him, so that the two could perform the next part of the ritual and stare at each other, eye to eye.

Who do you think is skinny enough? 'Cause dude, when I threw that first pitch it was so tight on me. I'm like 195 now. I played at like 180, 185. And my arms are so yoked, dude, I couldn't even... I bounced the ball. I couldn't move my arm. It was so tight.

Launched during his years teaching at Stanford in the mid-1980s, the Rockin' Jalapeno Band drew upon his earlier career as an R&B musician in San Antonio, and later, Las Vegas. But the inveterately curious Cuéllar kept expanding the Rockin' Jalapeno sound, deepening its connections to New Orleans grooves, jazz, and soul. Over the decades, the group included dozens of top Bay Area musicians, including many who went on to lead their own bands, and became known as a sure-fire act for fundraisers, community events, rallies and protests.

Last month, LaRussell announced his signing of a "project deal" with San Francisco label EMPIRE, one of the music industry's largest and most powerful independent labels and distributors. In 2023, he announced a deal with Live Nation for select concert dates. Both deals, LaRussell indicated, allowed him to make decisions on his own terms. The Roc Nation announcement comes after images of a late January meeting between LaRussell and Jay-Z were shared online.

This was 1980 or '81, she reckons, just after she'd come off the road playing percussion for the jazz star George Duke; by 1984, she'd become a star herself with the pop hit "The Glamorous Life," which she cut with her mentor Prince and which went to No. 7 on Billboard's Hot 100. Over the decades that followed, Sheila E. went on to record or perform with everyone from Ringo Starr to Beyoncé.

Madrid singer-producer and Rusia IDK leader Ralphie Choo has two new songs out today. Below, listen to "Rocco" and check out a lo-fi music video shot on a yacht to accompany the smooth jazz-indebted "Tentación."
