Drumming for Carlos
Siempre con Nosotros / Always with Us
Every year since Carlos Aceituno's passing in September, we have consistently honored his memory, as a most beloved, dedicated teacher and artist.

His love of community and the arts, and dedication to youth touched so many of us. His superb Carnaval presence with his contingent, choreographies and costumes were simply awesome, and unrivaled.

Art is medicine. Music is medicine. Community is medicine. Joy is medicine.
After the storm, when the thunder has ignited the trees, and the fire has consumed plants and animals alike, people finally come out to see what remains and what is gone. But the land, wise and whole, doesn’t wait for the storm to waiver to see what comes next, it sees death and destruction as an opportunity to be reborn.
Those who know about the land know that the sun doesn’t just come in the morning, but it’s actually marauding in the…
