From Latin jazz and mambo to salsa, Tejano, Chicano rock, Latin pop and reggaeton, Latin Music USA tells the story of the rise of new American music forged from powerful Latin roots and reveals the often overlooked influence of Latin music on jazz, hip hop, rhythm and blues and rock 'n' roll -- and on all of American culture. This documentary will be broadcast on KLRU in October. The free screening starts at 7 p.m. A panel discussion on Austin's Latin Music scene featuring Michael Crockett, host of KUT's Horizontes, David Garza, musician, and Rich Garza, cofounder of the Pachanga! Festival, will immediately follow the screening.
