This Sunday we have another special event - a live music performance by Aurum Son joined by Girasol “Bleu” at 4pm! You don’t want these amazing musicians!

Aurum Son is the moniker for the original music projects led by Houston bassist, vocalist, and composer, Sonia Flores.

Whether in full ensemble or solo act, Sonia Flores is the driving force behind Aurum Son. Aurum Son is a delicate balance of free avant-garde improvisation and original composition. Pulling from folk music from around the globe and avant garde sensibilities, it all comes together in a fantastical aural journey, defying categorization. The themes in which Flores composes are the spirit journey, spiritual alchemy, the vastness of the universe, quantum theories, motherhood, brown/latine experience and above all, love.

Buenas! We are kicking off Latine Heritage month with Luis Rey Cano, local author and cherished elder, discussing his book MY ABUELOS’ BONES SPEAK!

My Abuelo’s Bones Speak, Resisting Colonialism, an Indigenous Latino Perspective is a book for posterity. It is a pronouncement of pride in the Mexican and Mexican American Indígena spirit of resistance to subjugation and determination to continue the fight against racist, suppressive social and political forces.

The author documents this social struggle through recollections imparted by the elders of his family, los viejitos. Their stories invoke centuries-long resistance to colonization. They depict the people’s struggle for survival amid social upheaval during the Mexican Revolution. Through extensive genealogical research, the writer traces his maternal and paternal ancestors’ migration to Texas and shares elders’ accounts of survival in a racist, violent social environment.

This book documents the Mexican American community’s intense activism and political action in Houston from the 1970s to the early 2000s. The grassroots community-driven campaigns voiced urgent issues: the alarming Latino dropout rate, education inequities, a call for ethnic studies, the demand for fair representation in government and the media, and protests and outrage against police brutality and the murder of José Campos Torres by Houston police officers. The author was at the forefront, alongside other notable leaders, pushing for change.

New RELEASE!!!

MEXIKID : Dreams

In this extraordinary graphic memoir companion to Newbery Honor winner Mexikid, hilarious family hijinks, immigration patrols, and musical daydreams shape a year of growth and change for a Mexican American boy and his family.

Pedro Martín is sick of strawberries. Since he was seven, he’s spent every weekend and summer picking berries with his family under the hot sun. Sometimes it’s not so bad—Pedro’s an ace at “strawberry wars” with his siblings, and when a good song comes on the radio, the fields can come alive with music. But mostly, Pedro wishes he could just stay home watching Saturday cartoons, head to the beach like other kids, and not worry about immigration patrols. When his older brother gets a job away from the farm, freedom suddenly seems within arm’s reach: Pedro just has to prove to his dad that he’s ready to follow a different path! Maybe he can be a trombone player, or a cartoonist—if that’s even a real job. But as Pedro learns more about his parents’ and abuelito’s past, and the choices they made in order to open up more choices for him, he starts to understand that freedom isn’t just about leaving the fields—it’s about knowing where you came from and having the courage to draw your own life.
