A Great Place for Latin Music in NYC

The Bronx is the home of Latin jazz, salsa and hip-hop. Reggaeton also passed through from Jamaica to Panama 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. You will feel at home at Hostos Center.

Eugenio María de Hostos

Hostos (1839-1903) was a writer, educator and independence advocate from Mayagüez, Puerto Rico.

He was a Renaissance man with many accomplishments around the world including in New York City. But he is remembered as an advocate of secular education for all people including women. In his time, that was truly revolutionary.

Hostos wasn’t just a philosopher. He built many schools and changed the cultures of the societies in which he worked. Not many of us can say that about our lives.

And he was right. In New York City, one of the things we most lack as a community is education. Getting educated is one of the best things you can do to improve your life.

Hostos Community College is a great place to start.
