Where's Profe?

Tonight, I'm right here. Well, second and fourth Tuesdays...where else would I be?

I'm very excited about this particular show and one to come: Aracelis Girmay's book party is shaping up to be one for the ages, kids. I've seen her guest lineup, I've seen some other plans, but most importantly, I've seen the book. It's a monster, folks.

But first....Nuyorican poetry and jazz tonight at El Teatro Bruckner. I'm particularly psyched to check out Andy Gonzalez, one of my favorite jazz musicians, a monster on the bass. To think I'm introducing these folks. Sheesh.

Where is it, you say? Glad you asked.


Tuesday, May 22nd @ 7pm
ACENTOS Bronx Poetry Showcase

NuyoRican School is a poetry jazz ensemble grounded in the idea of providing poetry in

Latin Jazz and Afro-Cuban drumming with a poetry that provides commentary on family reconciliation
and self-realization, with cultural affirmation serving as the thematic centerpiece of this fresh
new ensemble.
