Andrés Cepeda “Mil Ciudades” Tour in Toronto
Where to start, where to start…For those of us who have been attending Latin artists concerts for a number of years now the mere fact that the artist actually made it to our city could be considered a smashing success. Whether Latino Eventos, the organizers (and I do use that term loosely) made a real effort to create a successful event from the get-go or things just got out of control at the last minute, it’s hard to know. Maybe in a...
George Lopez “I Wouldn’t Be Here Without You” Tour
Undoubtedly, the only good thing about the prospect of Donald Trump winning the upcoming presidential election next Tuesday is that if that happens, George Lopez promises to move to Canada. Or so he stated to a sold-out house at Casino Rama last Saturday night, on his most recent visit to our country, part of the “I Wouldn’t Be Here Without You” Stand-Up Tour. He would be joining Russell Peters, he said, and make Canada his home. We...

Rediscovering Harbourfront Centre
We decided as a family to attend one of Harbourfront Centre’s many weekend festivals, “Ritmo y Color”, a few weeks back. Many of you know that coming from Durham Region, as from any suburb surrounding the GTA, this is sort of a rare treat: to go spend the day in the city and walk around as “Tourists for the Day” kind of thing. What I found out that weekend, after a couple of years absence, was that this was almost a brand new...
Enjoy Your Summer with Live Music in Durham
Full Disclosure: There is nothing that makes me happier than to spend a warm summer day or evening listening to good live music while enjoying the outdoors. Last month we listed our 2016 Edition of Alma Latina’s Top 10 Summer Festivals in the city— hopefully you have enjoyed a few good ones that have already happened. But if all you want to do is listen to music— any music— then you’re in luck because Durham Region offers many a...
