Hostos Center

Hostos Center for the Arts & Culture is the performing arts center of Hostos Community College (CUNY) in Mott Haven, The Bronx. It also hosts the Longwood Art Gallery.

Hostos is one of the leading Latin performing arts centers in the Northeast, and one of the hidden gems of the South Bronx! It’s a great place for Latin culture because it is community based, and Latin culture is all about community.

We love The Bronx, “pa’ que tú lo sepas!” (just so you know). ❤️

Thank you Hostos Center for sponsoring New York Latin Culture Magazine!

A Great Place for Latin Music in NYC

The Bronx is the home of Latin Jazz, Salsa and Rap. Reggaeton also passed through from Jamaica to Panama to The Bronx to Puerto Rico and Medellín. The Bronx is a super creative place.

The community is very Puerto Rican and Latin, so the Center is one of the great places to listen to Latin music in New York City. The curation is excellent. You can see great artists that you won’t see in other venues, and tickets are cheaper.

Also the natural habitat of Latin music is the living room, patio, park or street. Because it’s really part of the community, the Center has that Latin vibe, even though it’s a theater. Hostos Center feels like home.
