American Pachuco: The Legend of Luis Valdez has launched a Kickstarter campaign to help fund the film’s theatrical run, bringing special events like post screening Q&As to audiences across the country while helping cover essential operating costs.

The film has already connected with thousands of people across 30 cities, filling theaters and bringing Chicano communities together to celebrate the art, legacy and cultural impact of Luis Valdez.

With only 4 days left to reach their goal, your support can help American Pachuco continue reaching communities across the country and shining a light on the life and art of Luis Valdez.

Donate today and help them reach their goal!

Kicking off The Tune Up: Mark Halata Texavia.

Mark Halata was Texas State Accordion Champion at age 13 and has spent his life carrying the Czech-Moravian polka tradition that runs deep through Texas dance halls. Shaped by legendary Texas polka bands like Joe Patek, Wence Shimek, and The Red Ravens, he keeps that music and culture alive, with a range that also spans country, Cajun, Zydeco, Tex-Mex, and rock 'n' roll.

For Texavia, he brought in renowned Austin bassist Mark Rubin of Bad Livers, with Bruce and Jeff Brosch on rhythm guitar and drums. Grab a dance partner and step into Texas-Moravian accordion heaven.

Saturday, September 5 at Rockefeller's Houston, 3620 Washington Ave. Doors 6 PM, concert 8 PM.

Wonderful this afternoon to see so many familiar faces today at the open house showcasing Casa Ramirez FOLKART Gallery’s partnership with Pancho Claus Arts & Education Center — two Houston institutions devoted to celebrating Hispanic heritage and culture 24/7/365.

Having BOSSA II — Jesus & Maria — performing, along with refrescos and good conversation made it seem like old times!

You’ll find us at 390 Glenborough Dr, Suite 160, and can visit by appointment by calling Richard Reyes at 713-208-0606 or emailing [email protected].

Hope to see you soon!
