Join us on Zoom as we move our great history talks online. In this participatory format we will hear from Manuel Gonzalez, Albuquerque Poet Laureate Emeritus.
Manuel Gonzalez, Jr. is the son of Manny Gonzalez of the Northern New Mexico band, Manny and the Casanovas. Manny and the Casanovas were originators and pioneers of what is considered to be “New Mexico Music" --- music that has a unique and original sound and history. In this lecture, Manuel Jr will delve into how the music and culture of northern new mexico has inspired him as a poet. Manuel Jr will share his work, family stories, and a writing prompt so we can each explore our own roots and inspirations.
