SUMMARY:Film Screening: Fabiola Méndez Trio & Negrura Documentary
DESCRIPTION:Fabiola Méndez: Live Trio Performance and Negrura Documentary Screening \n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\n\nFabiola Méndez is a Puerto Rican cuatro player\, educator\, and composer that has taken part in a musical movement\, crossing over the lines of genres such as folkloric\, jazz & Latin. \nRecognized for being the first student to graduate from Berklee College of Music with the cuatro as principal instrument (2018)\, Fabiola has worked and performed for artists such as: Totó La Momposina\, Eddie Palmieri\, Puerto Rican Symphony Orchestra\, the Chicago Philharmonic\, and Pedro Capó\, among others. She currently works as an independent \nartist all around the Northeast and Puerto Rico\, collaborating with organizations such as Celebrity Series of Boston\, WBUR\, MFA Boston\, MassArt\, and Agora Cultural Architects\, as well as composing for animated TV productions for Sesame Workshop\, Fred Rogers Productions\, and WGBH. \nFabiola Méndez’s project Negrura (released in 2022) is an audiovisual storytelling experience that showcases the stories of Afro-Latinx folks from Boston’s Latin Quarter Cultural District. The film aims to create spaces for conversations about colorism\, anti-blackness\, discrimination\, and racism within our own Afro-Caribbean and Afro-Latinx community.  Music\, at the core of the project\, connects our voices to provide a space for self-reflection\, support\, and healing.

SUMMARY:Somos La Plena
DESCRIPTION:A Chicago celebration of the life and legacy of Tito Matos\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nOn January 18\, 2022 the Puerto Rican cultural community was shocked by the news of the sudden departure of musical giant Tito Matos. After an extensive career as a master percussionist\, teacher and bandleader of Viento de Agua and La Máquina Insular\, Tito left a strong legacy of community work and cultural preservation in Puerto Rico and abroad. \nHis time living in New York\, as well as his relationship with Chicago’s musicians and cultural institutions allowed him to deepen his roots in the diaspora. He was a teacher\, mentor and friend for hundreds of plena practitioners across the globe. \nSRBCC is proud to partner with Tito’s closest friends from Puerto Rico and Chicago\, including Lagarto Figueroa\, Llonsi Martínez\, Ricardo Pons\, Noel Rosado\, Emanuel Santana (Puerto Rico)\, Ivelisse Díaz (La Escuelita Bombera de Corazón)\, Bomba con Buya \, Las Bompleneras and Los Pleneros de Don Segundo (Chicago) to celebrate his enduring legacy\, raise funds for La Casa de la Plena Tito Matos\, and establish a new scholarship for Chicago’s creative youth in his honor. \nJoin us in this Chicago celebration of the Life and Legacy of Héctor “Tito” Matos.
