Javier Gomez, founder of the Inlakech Cultural Arts Center in Oxnard<\/p><\/div>\n

Javier Gomez of the Inlakech Cultural Arts Center in Oxnard and late community advocate Avie Guerra will be recognized at the 17th<\/sup> annual “La Raza Alumni Association Scholarship Recognition Dinner,” starting at 6 p.m. with a reception on Saturday, April 30 at CSU Northridge at the University Student Union Grand Salon, Xavier \u201cBig X\u201d Montes reported this week.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis coming Saturday I\u2019ve been asked to say a few words and present Javier Gomez, a long-time friend, with an award\u201d at the dinner, Montes said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was deeply honored when the association asked me to do this. I’ve known Javier for about 36 years and along with him have promoted Chicano\/Mexicano Culture with a focus on the arts (music, teatro, dance, and even comedy), Montes said. \u201cAbout a year ago\u00a0Javier\u00a0asked me to teach harp to a few of his Mariachi Inlakech students and so now we have a side group called \u2018Angels on Harps\u2019 which consist of about 7 harps (lady\u00a0Angels), a few guitars and a guitarron. It\u2019s a blast making music with them not to mention how “pretty” they look when they’re all dressed up and ready to perform.\u201d<\/p>\n

This year, the association will celebrate \u201cSocial Justice, Cultura y Baile.\u201d<\/p>\n
