New Years Eve at the Nuyorican, with Bobby Sanabria and La Bruja

If you love Latin music and the spoken word, here is a great selection for ringing in 2012. I could not resist posting the advertisement sent, due to it's location at the Nuyorican Poets Cafe and the headline which includes La Bruja. Not only is La Bruja "Bronx Royalty" she is a talented performer who contributed music to the movie "Gun Hill Road" and took time out of her busy schedule to MC last years first annual Bronx Week Film Festival.

BoogieDown Poet, Actress, Hip Hop Star and Activist, Caridiad De La Luz 'La Bruja', set to Perform at the Nuyorican Poets Cafe Friday May 27th

While scanning the LGBT Chamber of Commerce web site, I came across a spoken word event at the Nyorican Poets Cafe. Besides the historic venue, this Friday also sports a performance by Bronx poet, actress, hip hop star and activist Caridad De La Luz (aka 'La Bruja'). One of her many contributions includes her provided much of the soundtrack for the film "Gun Hill Road". She also was kind enough to MC the red carpet gala concluding this years 1st ever Bronx Week Film Festival. She has a captivating spirit, the heart of an angel and is always a positive influence for our borough. I hope everyone goes to her performance on Friday. Please do see the post below and links provided for additional information about 'La Bruja" and the LGBT Chamber of Commerce.
