Steve Alcalá of Fresno California is our most recent LAN Maestro Awardee. He has had a profound impact on his community through Latin American music and after 32 years of teaching, he officially retired this past weekend at a reunion concert organized by his former students in his honor….many of them have gone on to music careers. ¡Felicidades Maestro Alcalá!

Congratulations and shout out to Javier Gomez with IN LAK ECH in Oxnard for his work in supporting the Santa Paula event tonight, good brother and neighbor, another worthy candidate for doing heroic work out of the lights but in the heart of his community.

The kickoff to Santa Paula's Hispanic Heritage Month included a conjunto of guitar players that started off as alley cats, angels playing harps, and a guitarron, an 81 year old marimba player, who rocked, and two very young folkloristas, the older sister taking the male roles so the baby sister could do the skirt work.
