SOB’S Concerts
& Aurora Communications invite you to celebrate:
¡Sammy Ayala’s 75th Birthday!
Friday, February 22, 2008
An original, co-founding member of Cortijo y su Combo, singer/songwriter Sammy Ayala was part of the first all-black orchestra featured over Puerto Rican television daily in 1954 ….. ten years BEFORE the civil rights act was signed into Congress in the U.S. Rafael Cortijo’s group fused the music of the great Antilles, crossing color and economic divides, to pave the way for the upbeat salsa music we enjoy today.
Active in his senior years, Sammy Ayala is a member of Zon del Barrio alongside Yomo Toro who will be celebrating Sammy’s birthday. Read their bios @ www.zondelbarrio.com.
Take a look, hear the music, and i’m sure you’ll agree that Sammy’s life makes for an inspirational evening.

THE KRUTCH at Cemi Underground
In Celebration of Women’s History Month!
THE KRUTCH
b&w 16mm/miniDV, 29 minutes
Written and directed by Judith Escalona
English, Spanish and German
The surreal story of a Puerto Rican psychoanalyst with a long-suppressed identity problem that erupts with some dire consequences. The film is unique in exploring the mental anguish and shame associated with racism. Stylistically akin to German Expressionism with an eye towards Buñuel, it occupies an absurdist space that keeps it from descending into the maudlin clichés of realism. With Jaime Sánchez as the mysterious Dr. Gúzman and Cathy Haase as his unsuspecting patient Mrs. Kleist.

The Latino Honor Society has been in existence at Hunter College since 1990. Founded to recognize the efforts and achievements of Latino students at Hunter College, and to encourage their growth and development as they seek to further pursue their careers, LHS also functions as a network for Latino students.
