Texas was a Spanish province that while it was under control of the French, Spanish, Mexicans and eventually the United States, has always proudly retained its Hispanic heritage be it in the states’ food, music or culture. And let us not forget the fortress of St. Augustine, FL, the first continuous European settlement in North America, founded in 1565, 42 years before the English landed in Jamestown, VA. According to the Pew Research Center, the Hispanic population reached a new high of 55.4 million in 2014 (or 17.4 percent of the total U.S. population.) This is a significant uptick from the 35.3 million or 13 percent of the total U.S. population that was registered during the 2000 census. While Hispanics share a common language, they are not a monolithic culture with dialects, traditions and music varying from country to country. There is no denying the contributions they’ve made to American culture, be it in politics, sports, art, music and media. What all do have in common is really no different than what other groups that have come to the United States have come seeking: faith, family, hard work and love of country while still proudly embracing their own traditions and culture.

What is National Hispanic Heritage Month? Is it like Cinco de Mayo? A “holiday” based on a minor military victory the Mexican army had over French forces in 1862, but in reality has become an embarrassing ritual on our side of the border to binge on margaritas and burritos? In actuality, this month-long celebration that runs from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15 is more about recognizing the culture, heritage and contributions Hispanics and Latin Americans have made to the United States. Originally started as a week back in 1968, it would expand to a month when it was enacted into a law on Aug. 17, 1988. The significance of the dates that National Hispanic Heritage Month falls across tie in with the first day being the anniversary of independence of five Latin American countries: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. Other countries celebrating their liberation during this time span are Mexico (Sept. 16, not May 5), Chile (Sept. 18) and Belize (Sept. 21). It also includes Columbus Day (Oct. 12 aka Dia de La Raza). Historically, Hispanics have left a centuries-old imprint on the fabric of the United States, easily pre-dating the Revolutionary War.

BROADWAY REVIEW
On Your Feet!: An American Success BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO
dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com
T
o call On Your Feet!: The Story of Emilio & Gloria Estefan a jukebox musical insults this Broadway production’s complexity, warmth and passion. It is currently playing on Broadway at the Marquis Theatre. While it does, in fact, use the music of the Miami Sound Machine to tell the story of its creators, far more is going on here than mere Estefan numbers being rattled off. Ana Villafañe plays Gloria Estefan from the age of 17 until her early 30s and does a spectacular job capturing Estefan’s voice, her mannerisms and even her look. And while Villafañe has been with the show since it opened last year, newcomer Ektor Rivera is a recent addition to the cast as Emilio Estefan. The chemistry between the two is splendid, whether they’re
One of the elaborate dance numbers featured in On Your Feet! singing or having their characters fall in love as they get to know each other. While the first half of the show deals with the Fajardo family (Gloria Estefan’s family) fleeing Castro’s Cuba, we are introduced to the pillars behind the family’s
survival—Estefan’s grandmother Consuelo (Alma Cuervo) and her mother Gloria Fajardo (Andréa Burns). We learn that Estefan’s father, José Fajardo (Eliseo Roman), served in the U.S. military and was always encouraging his daughter to pursue her dream, but later

became infirm and would be cared for by Estefan even as her success grew. This insight as a caregiver would come in to play as the musical addresses the severe spinal injury Gloria Estefan suffered during a 1990 tour bus accident. This is all part of the story that includes the Estefans grappling with preconceived notions by the music industry of whether commercial crossover success was possible from a group that had thrived in the Spanish-language market (it was) and the rift that opened up between Estefan’s mother and husband. The message throughout the show is one of determination and an unwillingness to give up until you capture that dream thanks to steely resolve, an inability to accept no for an answer and the strength of a family’s love. It’s a message that’s relatable regardless of what your native language is.

PERUVIAN from page 6A spices before roasting it on a spit. As it rotates amid a kiss of flames, the skin slowly transforms into a golden crisp with spice and fire combining to produce exotic aromas and earthy flavors. From the more exotic end of the Peruvian table is cuy, or guinea pig. Involving this small mammal in any meal preparation might seem barbaric to those north of the border, and the sight of a roasted guinea pig complete with still-attached head and feet might be unnerving for some, but it is one of the most popular sources of protein in Peru’s Andean region. Think of it as suckling pig for one—uncous, smoky and dark meat with a cap of crackling, flavorful skin. It sounds anything but scary. Though one would be hardpressed to find cuy on any Peruvian menu on Long Island, many restaurants do offer a fine cross section of Peruvian cuisine. Consider Brasas Peru in Franklin Square (673
A combination dinner at Franklin Square’s Brasas Peru Franklin Ave.), a small restaurant that is big on flavor and customer service. Since it opened last year, this independent and family-owned restaurant offers an array of homemade recipes to satisfy local Peruvian gastronomy.

At Brasas, the pollo a la brasa is a must and fulfills the promise of Peru—dynamically flavored whole-roasted chicken that decimates poultry from any establishment, fast food or otherwise. The chicken is the centerpiece of

Brasas’ generously priced combos. Go for combo no. 2, which includes a whole chicken, avocado salad, yellow rice, beans, tostones (fried plantains) and salchipapa (basically hot dogs and French fries, but even better than it sounds). Other keenly prepared dishes at Brasas include arroz chaufa, which is Peruvian-style Chinese fried rice; bistec a lo pobre, a dish with marinated steak served with a fried egg, French fries, sweet plantains and white rice; and of course, ceviche de pescado, which features fish cured in lime juice. On the weekends, Brasas expands its menu to offer specialty dishes for customers who want to expand their Peruvian palate. These dishes include a fried seafood extravaganza called jalea and choros a la chalaca, which is a Peruvian take on mussels. Peruvian food is romantic and curiously unique. It is striking in both preparation and flavor and is a take on Hispanic cuisine worth exploring. smosco@antonmediagroup.com

This week, we do scout for talent in Latin America. The penthe same for Hispanic-American athletes. The nant-winning 1962 San Francisco Giants boasted Hispanic tradition in baseball predates World the Alou brothers (Felipe, Matty and Jesus), plus War II. Lefty Gomez was a Hall of Fame pitcher such stalwarts as Juan Marichal and Orlando for the New York Yankee powerhouses of the Cepeda. During the pitching-strong 1960s, 1930s and a close friend of fellow San Francisco Marichal won more games (191) than any other area native Joe DiMaggio. Mike Gonzalez played hurler in the game. and coached for the legendary St. Louis Pittsburgh Pirate Hall of Famer Roberto Cardinals Gas House Gang teams of Clemente occupies the same plateau the 1930s and briefly managed that among Hispanic ballplayers as DiMaggio squad in 1938.

the legendary 1961 New York Yankee World Championship squad, maybe the greatest team in baseball history. Hector Lopez starred in left field for those same Yankee powerhouses of the early 1960s. When the Bronx Bombers finally made it back to the championship circle in the 1970s, Ed Figueroa, in 1978, became the first Puerto Rican-born pitcher to win 20 games. The Joe Torre Era saw the Yankees being paced by Bernie Williams, Jorge Posada, Tino Martinez, Orlando Hernandez and Mariano Rivera. On the National League side, the 1973 pennant-winning New York Mets featured Felix Milan at second base. The 1986 championship squad was led by team captain Keith Hernandez, plus pitchers Bobby Ojeda and Rick Aguilera and shortstop Rafael Santana. Edgardo Alfonzo was the stalwart on the 2000 National League championship team, while Yoenis Cespedes paced the 2016 pennant-winning team. In the ring, longtime New Yorker Jose Torres became light heavyweight champion in 1965. The former Marine became an author, penning a biography of Muhammad Ali and writing a column for El Diario. Torres later became commissioner of the New York State Athletic Commission before retiring to his native Puerto Rico. Up from East Harlem was Hector Camacho, who during his long career held no less than five titles, including both the lightweight and middleweight crowns. Here on Long Island, Brentwood native Jake “the Snake” Rodriguez was IBF welterweight champ from 1994 to 1995. Either on the diamond or in the ring, Hispanic athletes look to provide many winning moments for New York fans to enjoy in the years and decades ahead.
