FRIDAY, JUNE 14 World Village Film Night with Salsa Under the Stars at JUMP!

Screening: Ruben Blades is Not My Name, Free

World Village 2019 Feature Film – The World Village officially begins with the Feature Film “RUBEN BLADES IS NOT MY NAME” followed by a Salsa & Bachata Social (Salsa Under the Stars) June 14 at JUMP! RUBEN BLADES IS NOT MY NAME takes us up close to one of Latin America’s most beloved singer-songwriters, his music, and the stories behind them.  Donations accepted in lieu of an admission fee for the film. Purchase tickets for Salsa Under the Stars and enjoy both!

Screening: Ruben Blades is Not My Name, Free

We are pleased to screen “Ruben Blades is Not My Name” followed by a Salsa & Bachata Social Dance. Latin American icon Ruben Blades was at the center of the New York Salsa revolution in the 1970’s.  His socially charged lyrics and explosive rhythms brought Salsa music to an international audience. Blades has won 17 Grammys, acted in Hollywood, earned a law degree from Harvard and even run for President of his native Panama. He lives in NY, where he granted us exclusive access to his life at home and on tour. Critically acclaimed director Abner Benaim takes us on a journey through Ruben’s 50 year career, revealing that Ruben might still have both musical and political ambitions. This is a film about a living legend and his struggle to come to terms with his legacy.
