Hoy comenzamos nuestro episodio a ritmo de ranchera, de la mano de la agrupación "Mariachi Real de México". Con ellos y su "Mariachi móvil", recorremos la ciudad desde Queens hasta la catedral de San Patricio en el centro de Manhattan y conocemos su trabajo en la Academia Mariachi de Nueva York.
A continuación, en el Lincoln Center, conversamos con la directora mexicano-americana Natalia Almada sobre su documental "El General", película en la que explora la relación entre la memoria personal y colectiva de México a través de las grabaciones realizadas por su abuela, hija del controvertido general Plutarco Elías Calles. Este documental recibió el premio a Mejor Dirección en el Festival de Cine de Sundace.
Y finalizamos en el Centro Latino de Adultos Mayores, en el bajo Manhattan, donde Patricio Lerzundi se encuentra con el chileno Mario Tapia, su fundador y presidente, quien nos habla de su trabajo de más de diez años en esta institución, apoyando a los Latinos de la tercera edad tanto en los Estados Unidos y como a nivel internacional.

Today, we begin our journey to the rhythm of "Ranchera" with the group Mariachi Real de México and their "Mariachi Mobile." With them, we will visit the city from Queens to Saint Patrick's Cathedral in the heart of Manhattan. This will give us a deeper insight into the work they do at their music school, the Mariachi Academy of New York
Next, we will talk at Lincoln Center with Mexican director Natalia Almada about her documentary The General, a film in which Natalia explores the connection between the personal and collective memories of Mexico through the recordings made by her grandmother, the daughter of controversial General Plutarco Elías Calles. This documentary received the Directing Award at the Sundance Film Festival.
Finally, we visit the Latino Center on Aging in Lower Manhattan, where Patricio Lerzundi meets its President and founder, Chilean Mario Tapia, who will tell us about the work this institution has been doing for over a decade, supporting Latin senior citizens both in the United States and internationally.
Nueva York is an Emmy award winning series about Latino culture in New York. The 30-minute show explores the rich textures of Latino society in the city, focusing on politics, art, culture, and the traditions of Spanish-speaking populations across the metropolitan area.
Each episode features prominent leaders from the tri-state area's cultural and public spheres sharing their thoughts and accomplishments with viewers. Interviews are hosted by Mexican novelist and critic Carmen Boullosa and Chilean journalist and writer Patricio Lerzundi. The general producer is Professor Jerry Carlson, specialist in Latin American cinema. They are all members of the academic staff at CUNY. The series is produced by bilingual professionals from Colombia, Guatemala, Massachusetts, Mexico, and Texas. In addition, the series offers documentary segments about events, exhibits, concerts, and institutions.
Since its first broadcast, Nueva York has built cultural and social ties between Latinos, and amongst Spanish speaking non-Latino communities. Each episode is subtitled in English so that the largest numbers of viewers may appreciate more fully the richness and diversity of the cultural and humanitarian expression of the Spanish-speaking communities in the city. It is a television program that seeks to present the image of the social, educational and economic aspirations of the generations of immigrants and emigrants who have sought a better quality of life for themselves and their families.
Nueva York won a New York Emmy in 2009, two more in 2010 and three in 2011. The series premiered on CUNY TV on October 6, 2005. Nueva York also airs on Channel 22 in Mexico, and Channel 11 in Panama.
