Casa de la Cultura
Michael Mayo has become one of the most unique voices in contemporary jazz. Born in Los Angeles to a deeply musical family—his father, Scott Mayo, guitarist and musical director of Earth, Wind & Fire, and his mother, Valerie Pinkston, backing vocalist for legends like Luther Vandross and Whitney Houston—Michael grew up surrounded by sounds that shaped his artistic identity from childhood.

Casa de la Cultura
Concert by Arturo Cid and Carmen Acolea Quintento “Jazz and Cinema.”
Jazz and cinema were born almost simultaneously and, since then, have maintained a constant dialogue in which both art forms have mutually enriched each other. The first sound film was precisely The Jazz Singer (1927), released parallel to Louis Armstrong’s worldwide breakthrough. However, even in the silent film era, ragtime and early jazz already provided the rhythm of film screenings, while the lyrics of some songs parodied blockbuster hits or celebrated cinema as the great cultural innovation of the time. With an educational and relatable approach, Arturo Cid, Carmen Alcolea, and their group offer a musical exploration of this long-standing and fruitful relationship.
