Various locations and times within Chicago, schedule listed below

The 1st Annual Festival de Sones is a 4 day event that highlights the Son genre of Mexico, a fusion of indigenous (primarily Huastecan), Spanish, and African styles found on the Caribbean coast. It is a genre that reflects the population which evolved in the region from Spanish colonial times. The instruments most commonly associated with Son are Jarana, Requinto, Harp, Pandero, Cajón, and Quijada (an instrument made of a donkey or horse jawbone). More modern forms include congas and electric bass. The group Quetzal from Los Angeles has even fused it with R&B and Rock. Some popular groups who have incorporated this lesser known Mexican style include Cafe Tacuba, Ozomatli, and Zack de la Rocha.

SCREENING – ‘THE TOWN’ – LOCATION (TBD)

JoseJara — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 17:07:29 +0000

Synopsis: Doug MacRay (Ben Affleck) is an unrepentant criminal, the de facto leader of a group of ruthless bank robbers who pride themselves in stealing what they want and getting out clean. With no real attachments, Doug never has to fear losing anyone close to him. But that all changed on the gang’s latest job, when they briefly took a hostage–bank manager, Claire Keesey (Rebecca Hall). Though they let her go unharmed, Claire is nervously aware that the robbers know her name…and where she lives. But she lets her guard down when she meets an unassuming and rather charming man named Doug…not realizing that he is the same man who only days earlier had terrorized her. The instant attraction between them gradually turns into a passionate romance that threatens to take them both down a dangerous, and potentially deadly, path.
