Los Cenzontles Cultural Arts Academy is committed to the instruction, performance, and production of Mexican American arts. Housed in a storefront in San Pablo’s immigrant community, the organization reaches more than 20,000 people yearly, providing music and dance classes in traditional and popular Mexican genres to 240 children and young people. Los Cenzontles also researches, performs, and produces online media; records Mexican roots music; and hosts community cultural events. The organization’s dual goals are preservation of cultural tradition, and promotion of the Mexican aesthetic within the realm of world music and Americana.
