John Leguizamo's Ghetto Klown monday!!

SummerStage Presents: John Leguizamo's Ghetto Klown
Monday, July 28, 2014
8:00 p.m.–10:00 p.m.
I saw this show at broadway and I couldn't stop laughing, he is one of the best actor/artist/clown that I have ever seen, plus he is a latin new yorker...
Emmy Award winner John Leguizamo, who has appeared in more than fifty films and was also seen on Nickelodeon series “The Brothers Garcia,” as well as on “ER” and “Miami Vice,” is also one of the nation’s most accomplished stage performers. “Ghetto Klown” is the next chapter in John Leguizamo’s popular personal and professional story. It is his fifth one-man play, his third on Broadway, and follows in the uninhibited tradition of his “Mambo Mouth,” “Spic-O-Rama,” “Freak,” and “Sexaholix … a Love Story.” In Leguizamo’s trademark style, the piece explodes with energy, heating up the stage with vivid accounts of the colorful characters that populate his life. He takes audiences from his adolescent memories in Queens to the early days of his acting career and on to the sets of major motion pictures. Leguizamo explains, “Ghetto Klown” is all the things I say to my therapist and my manager, but would never want the general public to know. It’s cheaper than a lawsuit and I get to take a bow at the end. It’s like Wiki leaks but with no international manhunt. Yet.”

Doors open at 7:00pm

Larry Harlow’s HOMMY: A Latin Opera
Created by Larry Harlow
At a red-hot peak in the ’70s, this pianist, composer, producer, and driving force of over 200 Fania albums had a vision to expand salsa’s possibilities. He penned a Spanish-language opera about a deaf and blind percussion wizard, inspired by The Who’s Tommy. Premiering at Carnegie Hall, sparking multiple hits, and re-launching the career of salsa queen Celia Cruz, it has taken 40 years for Harlow’s magnum opus to blaze back to the stage, complete with a 60-piece orchestra and choir. Harlow is joined by a line-up of next generation stars, including Miami’s Lissett Morales, niece of Celia Cruz, as La Gracia Divina.
Michael Stuart y Su Tremendo
Kicking off the evening, Puerto Rico’s Michael Stuart and his band play the charismatic salsero and actor’s beloved, Latin Grammy-winning favorites.

The BAM should stands for Best Art Masters

I was honored to get, as gift from my boyfriend, the membership to the Brooklyn Academy of Music. I saw the amazing Billy Budd opera and The old woman with Willem Dafoe and Mikhail Baryshnikov for a low price and after a great mingle event with wine and appetizers. Both outstanding performances. I saw great movies with a discount ticket, like "the wind rises" and "american hustle"
But today they gave me tickets to the premier of "a most wanted man", featuring Phillip Seymoure Hoffman, Willem Dafoe, Robin Write and Rachel McAdams, along other big talented actors. The movie is terrific, from the great story based in real facts, you get involve in the terrorism- humanism-"homeland style" event. The movie has a magical photography and scenes that they filmed only once because they were so intense and perfect that the director did think it would be better. Oh, did I mention that the director participated at the end of the premier in a Q&A?
So, the movie is fantastic and I recommended it, not only because it honors a great artist as Phillip, but also to enjoy a master piece. The plot is based in the ilegal immigrant of a Chechen Muslim to Hamburg, where different anti terrorism agencies are trying to "take advantage: of the situation in order to make the world a safer place. Long story short: corollary: do not trust in americans!

Movies or concerts night?

At 7 pm free outdoors movie national lampoon's vacation, at Bryant park, 42nd st and 6 av.

EVENT DETAILS
This is a FREE show. Tickets are not required. Patrons will be admitted first come, first in, until the venue reaches capacity.

The Latin Alternative Music Conference (LAMC) - described by the NY Times as the "Sundance of Latin music" -- celebrates its 15th anniversary and yet another year of collaboration with Summerstage for an exciting series of concerts featuring both classic and cutting-edge music from across the Americas.

Website: http://www.babasonicos.com/
With determination, talent and intelligence, Babasónicos has became one of the most successful and recognizable groups to come from the sonic underground rock movement in Argentina in the 1990's. With 11 official albums and more than 22 years of constant touring with great success throughout Latin America, they've experimented with various diverse styles throughout their career, and continue to fill stadiums with screaming fans. Although they've never sought to conform to the typical Argentinean rock sound, this alternative band has established itself as a mainstream marketable group around the world.

Website: http://www.juanamolina.com/
Born in Argentina, Juana Molina grew up in a musical environment, learning guitar at the age of five. After a wildly successful career as a comedian and actress, Molina turned her focus back to her first love, music. She released her first album in 1996, and after the release of her second and third albums, she quickly became the darling of the international indie/electronic/folk scene, and praise began pouring in from admirers in all corners. Her music features a highly unique and personal mix of elements ranging from folk to ambient and electronica. Her live performances combine live loops, effects created on-the-fly and her deft acoustic guitar playing, creating a lush sounding and visually compelling experience. On her latest album, Wed 21, she remarkably expanded her palette of instruments, incorporating electric guitars, bass, drums and inventive electronics, giving the album a richer, broader sonic spectrum, guided as always by her trademark spirit of experimentation and her deep melodic sense.

Website: http://www.lasantacecilia.com/
Los Angeles band, La Santa Cecilia consists of accordionist and requintero Jose "Pepe" Carlos, bassist Alex Bendana, percussionist Miguel Ramirez, and lead vocalist La Marisoul, whose captivating voice sings about love, loss and heartbreak. Their influences range from Miles Davis to The Beatles, Zeppelin to Janis Joplin and Mercedes Sosa to Ramon Ayala. Their common love of music and openness to all genres led them to the concept of La Santa Cecilia in 2007 - named after the patron saint of musicians. Their songs have been featured on a number of shows, including the Emmy award-winning series Weeds, and they've enjoyed great critical acclaim in the Wall Street Journal, NPR (named to numerous "Best of 2013" lists), and Ad Age Magazine, who named the band a must for any Ad Agencies looking to launch a Hispanic campaign. In 2013, the band released their debut Trenta Dias, which features a collaboration with fan Elvis Costello on "Losing Game." The band also celebrated 2014 with a GRAMMY win (Best Latin Rock, Urban, or Alternative Album).
