«Pocos resultados ciertos» 

La gobernabilidad y la violencia en Latinoamérica. A partir de una de las últimas cartas escritas por un desencantado Simón Bolivar al general Flores, presidente del Ecuador, se busca un acercamiento para explicar la violencia endemica en América Latina, tomando como patrón a Venezuela. Al confrontar bibliografías aparecerán los nombres de Francisco Herrera Luque y Roberto Bolaño. El ensayo trabajará la figura del salvador o caudillo militar en las historias comunes de algunos pueblos de la región.

Burque Sonidero

Burque Sonidero is an alternative hip-hop/reggaeton group comprised of two native Burquenios, Zoner and Nate-oh8. Both hail from the North Valley but their paths didn’t cross until high school and their creative endeavors much later. Burque Sonidero’s musical style can be described as a mix of American hip-hop and Reggaeton. Having both lived in Spanish speaking countries, they find inspiration in Latin American rhythm and culture. They’re music describes border culture,  the hipster lifestyle, bicycles, love, social issues and the human condition. And you probably haven't heard anything like them.

Children's Book Presentation: Guacamole, a cooking poem by Jorge Argueta
Wells Fargo Auditorium, National Hispanic Cultural Center
1701 4th Street SW, Albuquerque, NM 87102
505-724-4777


Guacamole originated in Mexico with the Aztecs and has long been popular in North America, especially in recent years due to the many health benefits of avocados. This version of the recipe is easy to make, calling for just avocados, limes, cilantro and salt. A little girl chef dons her apron, singing and dancing around the kitchen as she shows us what to do. Argueta’s gift in seeing beauty, magic and fun in everything around him makes this book a treasure — avocados are like green precious stones, salt falls like rain, cilantro looks like a little tree and the spoon that scoops the avocado from its skin is like an excavating tractor.

As in the previous cooking poems, GGuuaaccaammoollee conveys the fun and pleasure of making something delicious and healthy to eat for people you really love. A great book for families to enjoy together.










is an award-winning author of picture books and poetry for young children. He has won the
