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.

In collaboration with Carnegie Hall’s Neighborhood Concert Series, El Museo del Barrio welcomes Latin Grammy award winner Lila Downs performing from her newly released album, Pecados y Milagros. Known for her striking voice and magnetic performances, Mexican-American singer and composer Lila Downs (Oaxaca, México) has created one of the most singular explorations of Mexican roots music on both sides of the border. The daughter of an American professor (her father) and a Mixtec cabaret singer, Downs came of age in both countries. By studying folk Mexican rhythms and native dialects and blending them with American folk, blues and rock, Downs has created a unique body of work through releases such as La Sandunga (1999), Tree of Life (2000), Border (2001), One Blood (2004), Entre Copa y Copa (2006) and Shake Away/Ojo de Culebra (2008).
Please bring your printed RSVP with you to this event. RSVPs will be honored up until 30 minutes before showtime. After that time, all guests will be admitted on a first come, first serve basis.
