B'VILLE LATIN JAZZ FESTIVAL: 26 YEARS AND GOING STRONG

Special to El Rrun-Rrun

Inaugurated by the late great "King of Latin Jazz Music" Tito Puente in 1997, the brainchild of the late George Ramirez, the Brownsville Latin Jazz Festival has entertained tens of thousands, expanded our musical boundaries, generated tourism, and improved our quality of life. Inspired by Tito's example during his visit, the Festival has educated hundreds of music students, educators, and working artists by presenting the free clinics, master classes, and personal performances he encouraged us to produce.

The Brownsville Latin Jazz Festival is the oldest festival of its kind in Texas, regarded as one of the best of its kind in the country, and is well known as a small, great festival that has preserved its quality, authenticity, and identity for over two decades.

Latin Jazz is a broad, inclusive genre that brings everyone together through primal irresistible rhythms. It makes everyone feel they belong to multiple cultures, not just one or two. Come join us...bring the family, including grandma and the kids. Don't forget to invite your friends and acquaintances from out of town – we'll help you host them

Waste of time and Brownsville taxpayers pay for this idiot performance to bring in more drunks. Keep up the bad work mayor and wasting money on bad ideas.

Invite the Jazz ensemble from UTRGV and TSC and raise money for scholarships.

Invite the music teachers from Brownsville and create a new JAZZ group that will bring dollars into music here at Brownsville.

The talent is here in Brownsville.
