Latino Music Month - Austin Latino Music Association

May is Latino Music Month in the "Live Music Capital of the World" Austin, Texas. Austin Latino Music Association (ALMA) in association with other entities take this month to heart.

"The mission of ALMA (meaning "soul" in English) is to increase knowledge and awareness in the community about local musicians and important historical figures in Austin’s Latino music scene, provide exposure and resources to local musicians, and to foster the development of young musicians who will keep Latino musical styles and traditions alive in the Capitol City."

Below is the ALMA calender of events for May. Please check out the numerous events and support those events that you can. Also please visit ALMA's website.
