Summer is THE time for festivals in Chicago, and this weekend has a slew of them! We chat with Sandra Treviño, an organizer of the LatiNxt Festival, and a participating artist, Alex Aguayo of Chicago band Cabeza de Chivo. They tell us the festival celebrates the diverse genre of Latin music and how it’s evolved over time. We also learn about the connection between dance and the environment people can experience at the Uptown Rhythm Festival with event organizer Shiwali Tenner, Chi-Nations Youth Council member Anthony Pochel Tamez and Soul Line dancing teacher Adjora Stevens.
