The Avengers killed at the box office this past weekend - and is really, really awesome - but it's a team of white dudes. (One of them is sometimes green.) In other words; where are the Latin superheroes? Well, we at Remezcla have compiled a list of superheroes who do in fact, look like us.
In this interview, guitarist Leo Mintek of New York's future rock quintet Outernational had plenty to say about imperialism, capitalism, immigrants rights, and revolution in this exclusive interview.
Coming from a Middle Eastern Jewish family who fled religious persecution, Nuriyá brings to light the rich, folkloric traditions from her ancestors.

As sure as rising gas prices and as inevitable as smelly people in tank tops, this summer’s New York International Latino Film Festival will once again grace the city with a smorgasbord of films from lands that share the Spanish language.
Now in its tenth year, the New York International Latino Film Festival (NYILFF) will once again be the premier location for Latin film. In 1999, the festival was untested and struggled to attract attention and sponsors. Now, the festival has dramatically increased its visibility and this year, the festival will showcase films ranging from the famous Mirabal sisters to a drug lord’s son struggling with guilt.
The Portuguese-speaking world will also get its due notices with Stolen Dreams. As you can probably tell, the movies here are not your ordinary summer-time fluff. Check them out and see for yourself why the NYILFF has gotten to where it is today.
Make sure to keep track as more info comes out!
