 » Since 2004, I have contributed regularly to Hora Hispana, a weekly newspaper in Spanish published by the New York Daily News and aimed at New York City's growing Hispanic population. Here are some stories I've done about the city and its dwellers. (In Spanish.)

NEW › Harping on Two Nations: Paraguay-born, Mexico-reared harpist Celso Duarte, of Lila Downs fame, brought traditional genres like son jarocho and guaranias to New York. (An English version is here.)

NEW › Unexpected Cinema: The 2007 edition of the Latinbeat film series at Lincoln Center brings to New York several films from countries where there's almost no movie industry to speak of. (An English version is here.)

NEW › A Star is Born?: Kat DeLuna promises she will be the first Dominican-American crossover artist. Trained as a soprano and backed by a major label, she launched her debut album in the summer of 2007. (An English version is here.)

NEW › Gray-haired Rebels: In 1965, they were part of a revolution in the Dominican Republic that the U.S. helped defeat. Today, they are growing old in New York. (An English version is here.)

› A tribe in New York: The garífunas are one of the many ethnic groups you can find in the city -- if you look hard enough. They come from several countries in Central America and trace their roots to African ancestors who survived two ship wreckages in the Caribbean.
