Brooklyn & Boyle Celebrates Mom!



Brooklyn & Boyle is proud to once again offer an original work of art on the cover. Our next issue, due out next week (May 21st), features a painting by Ricardo Garcia entitled Sunset. An acrylic on canvas, the piece was selected because it evokes the hard working moms who have raised us while holding it down both in and outside the home. If it wasn't for them, we wouldn't be here,and  we would definitely have an appreciation for beauty and art.

Our next issue will also once again include a question-and-answer piece by El Art Pocho, who spoke to photographer Oscar Castillo, an artist who is considered one of the preeminent Chicano lensmen in the nation. Senior Contributing Editor Thomas Varela, offers an intimate look at funnyman Rudy Moreno, who packs them into the Pasadena Ice House every week.

Founding editor Abel Salas reviews Give It To Me, a new novel by Ana Castillo, a writer of extraordinary prowess and world-wide acclaim. In addition, readers will once again have the opportunity to "Ask a Wise Latina" questions about life, love and the pursuit of inner peace and happiness. And these are just a few of the things you'll find in the newest edition of Brooklyn & Boyle.

A limited amount of advertising space is still available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Team member Natily Gonzalez, a hard-working mother herself, is standing by to work with your staff to help boost your business with a strategic advertising and marketing plan. Your partnership means a great deal since it allows us to continue supporting cultural arts and education on the East Side through positive profiles, art reviews, interviews with educators, musicians, writers, playwrights, dancers, painters and sculptors as a way to showcase the talent and beauty within our communities on the Greater East Side.

Don't forget to come out and join us at the annual Sacred Heart Fiesta in Lincoln Heights this weekend for free music, food, fun and games for the entire family.

Sincerely,
Brooklyn & Boyle

Film Review: 'Dark Blue Girl' Resonates Tragedy

Image
Karsten Mielke and Helena Zengel in Dark Blue Girl. By William Alexander Yankes “Do you love me?” the little girl asks her father while she gazes at the Greek landscape. “Endlessly,” we hear him respond while the camera continues to focus on her. The exchange of dialogue, which constitutes this pithy film’s prologue, pays homage to Hitchcock’s sense of crisp minimalism. From the onset, we must brace ourselves for a film where a child is the axis of the story. She is the blonde sun around whom her parents orbit on divergent trajectories. Luca, the girl, is looking for her own idenity. Her effort to forge herself is reflected  in her eyes. Her referential pillars, her parents, no longer hold up one roof, but two, and they are in separate places, on disparate streets. Luca, an eight-year-old girl, tries to make sense of this puzzle while she grows ever more keenly aware of the world as it unravels chaotically before her in all its mystery. A psychological drama, Dark Blue Gi

New Viento Callejero CD Drops

Viento Callejero, as the name implies, intends to uplift and “sco
