World City at the Music Center Presents: Los Cenzontles & Facto Teatro October 22, 2011

We are celebrating the exuberance of Mexican culture! Los Cenzontles (the Mockingbirds) fuse traditional Mexican music with a contemporary sound creating a fresh Chicano voice, while Facto Teatro showcases a bilingual Toy Theatre production on a miniature stage with stylized rod puppets that is inspired by traditions of the Mexican holiday Dia de los Muertos or Day of the Dead.

We will also be holding a workshop, which will give children the opportunity to explore the featured culture through unique art-making projects such as calligraphy, puppets, musical instruments, accordion books, textile projects and more! There will be three Performances: 11:00 a.m., 12:30 p.m., and 2:00 p.m.

All tickets are FREE and are distributed in a first come, first served basis on Grand Avenue at 2nd Street.
