La película Desierto cierra el Festival de Cine de Los Ángeles
Los cineastas mexicanos,
Alfonso Cuarón y Jonás Cuarón,
presentaron la película Desierto durante
el Festival de Cine de Los Ángeles. La
película se proyectó en la noche final del
Festival de Cine de Los Ángeles, la cual
se llevó a cabo recienmente en junio.
Entre los presentes estuvieron otros
miembros de su equipo, incluyendo a los
productores Carlos Cuarón y Alex
García y productor executivo
Nicolas Celis. Horas antes del evento, se
anunció que Desierto, la cual es
protagonizada por Gael García Bernal,
se estrenará en selectas salas de cine en
los Estados Unidos el 14 de octubre.
Jonás Cuarón, escritor,
productor y director de la película
explica que el motivo por el que eligió
una película de género para contar esta
historia es porque quiere que el público
se mantenga agarrado al asiento de
principio a fin mientras trata un tema de
tanta importancia como es la
inmigración.
De la mano de Jonás Cuarón y
Alfonso Cuarón, los elogiados
realizadores de Gravity, llega una visión
singular y moderna del terror. Desierto
es un thriller sangriento y vibrante, lleno
de tensión y suspenso
de principio a fin, y cuenta con la
actuación de Gael García Bernal (The
Motorcycle Diaries, Y tu mamá
también), Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Watch-
Alfonso Cuarón y Jonás Cuarón
men), y Alondra Hidalgo, entre otros.
Lo que comienza como un viaje
lleno de esperanza en busca de una vida
mejor se convierte en una lucha
desgarradora y primordial por sobrevivir
cuando un vigilante demente persigue con
su rifle a un grupo de hombres y mujeres
desarmados a lo largo de la traidora frontera
entre México y Estados Unidos.
En el áspero e inclemente desierto,
los protagonistas verán que tienen todo en
su contra al darse cuenta de que no hay
lugar posible donde esconderse de este
asesino implacable e inescrupuloso. Por Liz

de Santiago del Estero,
Argentina. A los 11 años aprendió
guitarra, y comienzó a componer sus
primeras canciones. A los 18 años formó
un grupo de rock llamado “Los
demonios del ritmo” junto con amigos
de su edad.
A los 20 años Leo viajó a
Buenos Aires con el deseo de triunfar y
se presentó en CBS (Sony discos en la
actualidad), donde inmediatamente
firmó su primer contrato discográfico.
Su primer gran éxito, Celia, llegó a los
primeros lugares en los rankings de
popularidad a la semana de haber salido
al mercado. Le siguen éxitos como
Fanny, Cómo te extraño mi amor,
Estelita, Libre, solterito y sin nadie,
Santiago querido, Qué tiene la niña, Por

rankings con temas como, Te he
prometido, Esa pared, Toquen mariachis,
canten, Mi última serenata, El radio está
tocando tu canción, Pareces una nena,
Yo sé que no es feliz, Con nadie me
compares y Mary es mi amor.

Aquella noche de verano y Ojos azules.
Leo ha compuesto más de 2000
canciones. Sus temas han sido grabados

‘FROM DUSK TILL DAWN: THE SERIES’
Gaby Natale Featured in Forbes and Invited
To White House Women Summit
Ana de la Reguera
Four new cast additions to
Albuquerque-based production of
“From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series,”
set to return for a third season later this
year. Ana de la Reguera (“Jane the
Virgin,” “Narcos”) will have a recurring
role as Lord Venganza Verdugo, one of
the seven remaining culebra Lords
whose ancient roots and personal history
put them at the center of an epic clash
between good and evil.
Also joining the cast is Chilean
martial arts action star, Marko Zaror
(Machete Kills), as Zolo, an Aztec
warrior trained in hell, and iconic horror
movie maven Tom Savini (Friday the
13th, From Dusk Till Dawn). Savini,
who starred as Sex Machine in the
original film, lights up the brand new
role of Burt, a retired demon hunter who
smokes more medical marijuana than he
sells.
Returning to the supernatural
action horror saga is Emily Rios (“The
Bridge,” “Breaking Bad”) who will
reprise her season two role as Ximena,
the no-nonsense lieutenant of Lord
Venganza.
Ana de la Reguera recently costarred on the Golden Globe-nominated
series “Narcos” as Elisa Alvaro and
“Jane The Virgin” as Paola, and as
previously reported, was recently cast in
the highly anticipated reboot of David
Lynch’s “Twin Peaks.” She is repped by
Paradigm, ROAR, and Gang,
Tyre, Ramer & Brown.
Marko Zaror began his career with
a passion for martial arts and fighting,
inspired by Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan and
Jean Claude Van Damme. He landed his
big break in 2003 where he acted as
stuntman and martial arts double for
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in the film
The Rundown. Zaror then gained international notoriety as lead in indie action
favorites Kitro, Mirageman, and Mandrill.
Zaror played Zaror in Robert
Rodriguez’s sequel, Machete Kills. He can
currently be seen as the lead in “Redeemer”
and playing Marcus in the upcoming
Bollywood film “Sultan.”
Emily Rios recently co-starred in the
television series “The Bridge” as Adriana
Mendez. Best known for her role as Andrea
Cantillo on “Breaking Bad,” Emily made
her acting debut as the lead in the critically
acclaimed film Quinceañera. She has also
had recurring roles on several successful
television series including “True Detective,”
“Friday Night Lights,” and “Men of a
Certain Age.” She is repped by Kass
Management and Domain Talent.
Tom Savini is no stranger
to the horror genre, having possessed vital
roles in classics like Friday the
13th, Dawn of the Dead, Creepshow
and Day of the Dead - Savini is a true
master of the field. Recent years have
brought him acting acclaim with roles in
films like From Dusk Till Dawn, Machete,
Django Unchained and Grindhouse. Savini
is repped by Artist International.
Comprised of ten hour-long episodes,
season three of “From Dusk Till Dawn: The
Series” will feature a returning ensemble
cast that includes: D.J. Cotrona, Zane Holtz,
Eiza González, Jesse Garcia, Madison
Davenport, Brandon Soo Hoo, and Jake

“As a Latina entrepreneur,
women empowerment has always

female representation in leadership

young girls, I’m convinced that

Season three continues the Gecko
Brothers’ saga, as they fight their way
through the world of culebras,the vampire-snake hybrids that control hidden
empires in Texas and Mexico. Once the
baddest out-laws in the land, Seth and
Richie made a run for the border two
years ago, to save their lives - and their
fortune. They ran headlong into a bar full
of bloodsuckers and bandits, facing off
with the vampire goddess, Santánico. The
Geckos joined her cause and settled an old
score. It won them a place in the culebra
world. Now, that world is about to
explode, and new enemies are gathering dark forces hellbent on destruction and
domination. It’s up to the Geckos to stop
them - but they can’t do it alone.

good for the 12 and under children, as they are hearing Tejano music
growing up. For many, it is their
introduction to Tejano, as currently,
there are several other genres of music
they are listening to.” He recalls as a
youngster, he attended the concerts all
the time and learned about them either
on the radio, or word of mouth. “It was
the elder Joe Garcia who used to
announce it on his radio program for the
small town that Austin was back then. It
was rarely as diverse (as now), but
students from Austin and Travis High
Schools would hear about it and come
over to the Eastside to hear the music
and see the people.”
The Preservation Austin documentation reads, “Activities in the park and
building are supported by the the Pan
Am Recreation Center Advisory Board,
a group originally made up of members
from the Pan Am Roundtable and the
different organizations and clubs that
provided services or held meetings
here.” I am a former member of the
Austin Chapter of the Pan Am
Roundtable and was not aware of this
history during my membership. I look
forward to reading the archives when I
learn where they are located.
In my brief research for this piece, I
spoke with the Austin based Texas Music
Museum Board Chair, Clay Shorkey, Ph.D.,
LCSW, Professor, The University of Texas
at Austin School of Social Work. I inquired
if the museum has any archives of the over
five decade long Hillside Concert Series.
He said, “We do not.”
Jason Mellard, Assistant Director of
the Center for Texas Music History at Texas
State University provided his knowledge of
archives and if any Hillside Concert Series
are held there. “That sounds like a great
topic, but I’m not sure of any materials in
the Texas State archives in relation to it.”
It is important to archive the records
of this significant Texas music, alongside
other genres performed by other Texas
artists. If this is not done, it can be documented by others in an inaccurate manner.
Silvas provided this idea for the
public. “Everybody come out and support
Tejano music. Don’t say ‘Tejano is dead.’ If
you say it, you are the one that is doing so
(to this genre).” He believes taking a
positive approach. “Turn it around and say,
‘I support Tejano’.”

música, danzas y vestimenta en la capital
texana.
La palabra “guelaguetza” deriva del
zapoteco guendalizaa, que significa
“cooperar”, pero en su concepción más amplia
es una actitud, una cua-lidad con la que se
nace, un senti-miento por medio del cual el
zapoteca ama a su prójimo, un sentimiento de
hermandad, de compartir la naturaleza y la
vida.
Cada una de las 8 regiones presenta
una muestra de su patrimonio cultural a través
de bailes que ejecutan al son de la música y los
cantos que les son propios, vistiendo
indumentaria de gala de sus respectivos
pueblos. Al terminar, cada grupo distribuye
entre el público su “Guelaguetza” compuesta
por objetos característicos de sus respectivas
regiones.
