Un evento creado por la comunidad y para la comunidad.
For the last decade Rocio Mendoza, Roberto Carlos, and Jesus Martinez have serenaded audiences in LA and beyond, with their own interpretations of a genre called “Bolero.” They relive the vintage sounds and songs of the 1940s-1960s, stylized during the Golden Era of Mexican Cinema.
Each member of the trio is an accomplished musician, and each inherited the knowledge and importance of heritage music through their family and generations before them. In their own way Tres Souls are following in the footsteps of other “Trio Romanticos”, like Eydie Gorme Y Los Panchos, Los Tres Reyes and Los Tres Ases, while interspersing musical influences that can be heard echoing through out the diaspora of Los Angeles. Tres Souls released their first album in 2019 titled, “Boleros Made In LA.” Where they celebrate their roots while branching out into uncharted territory.
UPCOMING LUNCH & LEARN EVENT:
WHAT IS SYNCRETISM AND ITS EFFECT ON DIA DE LOS MUERTOS?
In 2008, the Day of the Dead tradition was inscribed in the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. As this beloved tradition continues to grow in popularity it is important to understand its indigenous roots and the fusion of cultures and religious practices through colonization. Syncretism is a term that is often used to highlight instances where the fusion of cultures has had an indelible impact on beliefs and understanding of world cultures. Recognizing these instances allows us to understand our understanding of belief systems and cultural identity. Join Latino Arts and our expert panel for an engaging and educational exploration of how traditions and syncretism have converged through time within the Dia de los Muertos celebration.
Stay tuned for our panelists!

About the exhibit:
Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), a Mexican celebration, is a day to celebrate, remember, and prepare special foods in honor of those who have departed. On this day in Mexico, the streets near the cemeteries are filled with decorations of papel picado, flowers, candy calaveras (skeletons and skulls), and parades. In order to celebrate, the families make altars and place ofrendas (offerings) of food such as pan de muertos baked in shapes of skulls and figures, candles, incense, yellow marigolds known as cempazuchitl (also spelled zempasuchil) and most importantly a photo of the departed soul is placed on the altar.
To learn more visit www.latinoartsinc.org.
Gather together with family and friends at the Milwaukee Art Museum to celebrate the beauty and tradition of Day of the Dead.
Explore the meaning behind symbols of the holiday through hands-on art activities and add the name of a loved one who has passed to the community ofrenda. Meet guest artists and learn how their heritage influences their work, enjoy performances, take a tour, and more!

The historic tradition of mariachi music has its roots of origin in cities such as Guadalajara and Mexico City. As the ever-evolving genre’s influence spread, it reached Chicago and birthed the Mariachi Herencia de México. They have performed across the North American continent and have produced multiple chart-topping albums, including their 2017 debut album Nuestra Herencia, 2018’s Herencia de la Tierra Mía, Esencia and Esencia, Vol. 2 in 2019 and 2020, and most recently in 2022, Herederos.
