SANTA BARBARA — The Carsey-Wolf Center at UCSB will present “Listening to Cumbia,” a program of two short documentaries that examine the vibrant culture of cumbia and cumbia sonidera in Los Angeles and Mexico City, at 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 11 at the the Pollock Theater on the UCSB campus.
We will be screening Joyce García’s Yo No Soy Guapo (US premiere), and Alvaro Parra’s “Sonidero Metropolis” (premiere). Following the films, García and Parra will join us for a discussion and Q&A about their films. This event is free to attend and open to the public, so your community of readers is warmly invited to join us.
