Los Valientes

Hispanic Heritage Month Concert

On Tuesday, October 6 at 11:30a at the Howard Performing Arts Center, Hispanic Heritage Month will be celebrated by a performance of Los Valientes (The Courageous Ones), a live music theatre work for singing actor and piano. Based on the lives of three heroic Latinos, the show celebrates Mexican painter Diego Rivera, martyred Salvadoran Archbishop Oscar Romero, and Mexican-American outlaw Joaquin Murrieta - some say the Zorro character was based on this historical figure. The music ranges from traditional Latino folk and popular songs sung in Spanish to instrumental works by Latin American composers. Co-curricular credit will be available for undergraduate students.
