Latino Culture Lives At Sofrito For Your Soul

Capicu Poetry: You made it happen again...Thank you!

 

A few weeks back, Capicu Poetry with partners Notice Lounge set out to make it rain candy canes in Bushwick Brooklyn once more with it's 3rd Annual Pa'l Pueblo Charity Event. This event provides Christmas presents for over 100 children of Bushwick United Headstart. 

The event was very successful. Amidst a economic recession our Capicu family stepped up and made it happen. I want to formally thank everybody who had anything to do with this.

First of all, the event would have never happened had it not been for the generosity of Platinum Mic Studios (Brooklyn NYC), FutuVision and our venue Notice Lounge.

Special thanks to Jessica Arocho aka Fifa from Bushwick United for giving us the opportunity to give back

Victor Cruz and Yari The Queen Of Washington Heights 
and the whole crew at Urban Latino Radio.

Mia Hernandez & J.F. Seary for blessing us with their poetic wordplay.

Special Thanks to Taino Spirit who has blessed Capicu with their both their poetry and visually artistic talents for 3 years and always being the first to step to the plate when there is a need in the community.

Thanks to the Elders that continue to guide us... Bobby Gonzalez, Jaime El Maestro Emeric and Sery Colon. Your contributions are priceless.

Whether you just discovered this website yesterday or have followed me on my journey since 1997.

You are my gift...everyday. 

No matter what you celebrate during this holiday season, I wanted to take the time to thank you for being a part of my story in the way that you have. There are so many of you...believe me when I say that whether we connected once...or stay connected throughout the year...YOU are the reason I do what I do.

I wish you health and happiness alongside those that matter most as we being anew in 2010...

Buen Provecho...

Tu Servidor....

All I want for Christmas is....

A Mino Flip so that I am able to bring you more CULTURA in video format. 

My friend Lance @ Being Latino is having a great contest in associations with GO HUMAN and they are giving away a MINO FLIP HD CAMERA. All I had to do was make a video about why I love Being Latino and get the most views on that video...and the camera is mine.

I had a serious obstacle...I made the video...without a camera...see how I overcame that obstacle, and how you can help me bring you more cultura by just telling everyone you know to watch my video. 

You do that and I promise you I will use it to showcase more Latinos doing positive thisng in our communities.

HURRY THE CONTEST ENDS TOMORROW!!!!

As I am,
