Description

Presented by College Center for the Arts (CCCA), Pregones Theater and the Caribbean Cultural Center African Diaspora Institute

Three cultural organizations have come together to pay tribute to the Afro-Latina, the Afro-Cuban woman from the Diaspora called “La Lupe.” City College Center for the Arts (CCCA), Pregones Theater and the Caribbean Cultural Center are united in tribute to a star that relished in the pride of her talent, creativity, and self-transformation as she developed her unique style and public presence. Similar to un-replicable stars like Tina Turner, Janis Joplin, Diana Ross, Eartha Kitt, there was no other; there was only one: La Lupe – “La Yiyiyi.”



JOIN US FOR A 3-PART TRIBUTE!

At the Pregones Theater:

Panel: 'Demystifying A Diva: The Truth Behind the Myth of La Lupe' | June 6, 2017 | 7:00PM - 9:00PM

Join us for a special film screening of La Lupe Queen of Latin Soul followed by a discussion with the filmmaker, interdisciplinary artist Ela Troyano.

La Lupe Queen of Latin Soul tells the story of the innovative, electrifying, and bodacious powerhouse known as La Lupe “La Yiyiyi” through character-driven interviews in first-person anecdotes, in an oral history much like those found in a folk ballad or a bolero. More on the film here.

General Admission is free! Suggestion donation: $5.
