Ecos Latinos Series | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
ECOS LATINOS is a Hispanic Cultural & Performing Arts Series, which includes a live performance series and a television series. The live performance series brings Hispanic musicians, dancers, visual artists, etc. from other Latin American countries to perform and exhibit in Orleans and Jefferson parishes in Louisiana. Visiting artists give educational workshops to students. The program focuses on the positive aspects of Hispanic arts and culture in our community. We document the live performances for television, with help from our sponsor, Cox Communications. Cox has also made a commitment to air the half hour programs 5 times a week on its local Channel Ten, which reaches 270,000 households.
