It's already spring in Southern California, and after some particularly rainy days, the sky is clearing to announce a really warm season. However, as everyone knows, the least you should do now is walk on the street when it is not strictly necessary, which has eliminated the possibility of enjoying outdoor entertainment activities. In theory, this means the elimination of''OurLA Voices: A Pop-up Arts+ Culture Fest", a celebrated series of annual Gran Park activities that usually takes place on these dates and that brings together unique talents from our city; but, instead of canceling this year's edition, its organizers have decided to transfer it to the increasingly popular digital plan. ftOI' de Toloache pa)-'5" a veryspecial tribute to No Drubt
That means that, during the 25th and 26th of this month, the festival will be able to be seen through grandparkla.org, FacebookLive and InstagramLive, through the use of a transmission that will reproduce the format that was proposed when it was held inLive as it will offer continuous programming from 9 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. (Saturday) and from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. (Sunday). The most interesting thing for our community is that although the event will show artists from different backgrounds and cultures including Asian and African-American-, it will have a lot ofLatino participation, starting with the presence of the group of Puerto Rican origin Balll.n, who in words one of its members practices a style called "Dreambow" (a mix of dancehall, dembow, pop and noise) and that will play for you live on the 26th at 2:15 pm Click Here For Dynamic Content There will also be a discussion between GloriaLucas and M6nica Virgen Zamora, from "Mujeres Market", a space where the works of women of color meet, and which has evidently been affected by the current pandemic. This talk can be seen on the 25th at3:30 pm, and after it, a question and answer session will be offered. For her part, the poet of Salvadoran origin Yesika Salgado will host a mix of poetry recital and writing workshop that can be seen on Sunday at1 pm

And continuing with the cuzcatlecos, the same day at 3.30 pm, the SalviSoul portal, which is responsible for spreading the culinary traditions of immigrants from the Central American nation in this part of the world, will offer a cooking class aimed at learning how to prepare at home a very
special bean soup.
As we have already said, outside of Latin, there will be more presentations worth enjoying, and whose full details can be found at this link, where a full press release in English has been placed.

Ya es primavera en el Sur de California,y tras unos dfas particularmente lluviosos,el cielo se estli. despejando para anunciar una temporada realmente ciilida. Sin embargo,como es conocimiento de todos,lo que menos debes hacer ahora es andar en la calle cuando no sea estrictamente necesario,lo que ha eliminado la posibilidad de disfrutar de actividades de entretenimiento al aire libre. Esto significa en teorfa la eliminaci6n de "Our LA. Voices: A Pop-up Arts+Culture Fest",una celebrada serie de actividades anuales del Gran Park que se efectU.a habitualmente en estas fechas y que convoca a talentos (micas de nuestra ciudad; pero,en Ingar de cancelar la edici6n de este afio, sus organizadores han decidido trasladarla al cada vez mils recurrido piano digital.
