The Harbor Conservatory along with its Raices Latin Music Collection encourages living artists not only through performance and education programs, but by keeping the tradition of Latin music alive. Our programs involve artists who are vibrantly active on the scene today, but who also have a respect and dedication to the history of the genre.
Ritmos Caliente is made possible with public support from the New York State Council on the Arts Music Program.
