ALBUQUERQUE ― Domingos en Arte, a summer music and dance series presented by Melaza Music, AMP Concerts, and the National Hispanic Cultural Center in the NHCC’s Fountain Courtyard, continues its second season in July.

 

We have invited some of our musician friends, from the local community and outside, for lively community get-togethers right next to the beautiful Rio Grande Bosque. Spend Sunday evenings enjoying live music, drinks, and delicious Latin cuisine with family and friends in this enchanting courtyard setting.

 

July 9, Boleros al Atardecer is an evening devoted to romantic Latin music. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., with the concert starting at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $12, with free admission for children 12 and younger, and are available from the NHCC Box Office, at 505.724.4771, or at www.nhccnm.org. This performance is part of the New Mexico Culture Squared (NMC2) project.

 

Boleros al Atardecer features an ensemble of talented Albuquerque musicians, including Jim Ahrend, Mathias Rodriguez, Jackie Zamora, Victor Rodríguez, Tony Quiñones, Janet Harman, and César Bauvallet. From boleros (Latin ballads) to Peruvian Creole songs, cha cha cha, son, and bossa nova, these versatile artists perform some of the most beautiful and nostalgic classics of Latin cultures.

 

New Mexico Culture Squared (NMC2) is a NM Department of Cultural Affairs (DCA) project to build and manage partnerships between DCA institutions and cultural organizations that will enhance the impact, effectiveness, attendance, and visitor experience of exhibits and programs of DCA entities. Under the management of AMP Concerts, NMC2 creates programs in collaboration with State Historic Sites, DCA Museums and various cultural organizations with the goal of increasing public programs statewide and promoting New Mexico as a destination for arts and culture.
