Four Latinx organizations in Boston — Amplify Latinx, Hyde Square Task Force, Cojuelos’ Productions and Ágora Cultural Architects — have come together to celebrate art and community through their online performance series “Cadencia Latina,” running through July 5.
Every Sunday and Thursday at 7 p.m., an artist sponsored by these organizations livestreams a performance on Facebook meant to uplift spirits during the pandemic and celebrate Latinx culture.
Rivera says about 1,000 people watch each performance on average and a large contingent is often from the country of the artists’ background.
The artists are compensated for the performances by the organizations, and viewers are also encouraged to support the artists directly if possible.
Previous performances by the artists can be found on the artists’ Facebook pages and on the Ágora Cultural Architects YouTube page.
