Common Culture | "Maestro" Lazaro Galarraga (Mini Doc)

On Sunday, September 18th, Mama Earth presents Common Culture: Across the Water at Ford Theatres in Hollywood.
We celebrate intersections of island culture, our elders and the ancestors.
Details and information at commoncultureshow.com.
This video features "El Maestro" Lazaro Galarraga who has dedicated his life to the love of Afro-Cuban music, culture and folklore. That love has transformed him into a teacher, performing artist, actor, writer, choreographer and mentor.
Maestro provides stimulating lectures at museums, educational institutes and universities on Afro-Cuban music and culture to the Southern Californian community. El Maestro received his Honorary Doctorate Degrees in Music Theory, History of Art and in Cuban Folklore from the Escuela Nacional de Arte for his vision and influence on Afro-Cuban music.
In a tragic turn of events, Lazaro's 17 year old son, Ismael Lazaro Galarraga-Brown was murdered in Inglewood in June, 2015; a good kid in the wrong place at the wrong time. We feel so humbled and grateful to have the opportunity to honor a great man and his son.
