AZÚUUUUUUUUUUCAR: Let’s Celebrate Latino Music Month!!!

In 2005, the Austin City Council declared May to be “Latino Music Month” in the City of Austin. Last year we celebrated the first official “Latino Music Month” and over 150 performance of Latino music took place in over 70 different venues. You can check out the Austin Latino Music Association (ALMA) website to see a calendar of events going on this month.

If you are a fan of Celia Cruz, Almita Rodríguez, Cachao, Oscar D’Leon, Juan Luis Guerra and other great Latin American artists, the Downtown Library has a small display in the CD Music section on the first floor dedicated to our Latino Music Collection. Come check out some great music or suggest some new titles by posting a comment or emailing us here.
