Visual / Hip Hop / Comedy | East Salinas
Chicano teatro and comedy, spoken word poetry and hip-hop music
Formed in 1997 during a community arts celebration in its hometown, Baktun 12 is a group of artists from East Salinas, California. The group is dedicated to the upliftment of Chicano culture, art, and community. Since its inception, the group has developed its own brand of performance art, which incorporates traditional Chicano teatro and comedy, spoken word poetry and hip-hop music. In 2006, the group developed and performed its newest work "The Baktun 12 Variety Show." Mixing it's Teatro/Hip-Hop/Spoken Word steez with a traditional talk/variety show format, the group has staged the show twice in the Bay Area. Plans are underway to perform the show closer to its hometown of Salinas.

"The Beat" in print
What's up party people, I've been behind on putting the word out, but here it is: after two years exclusively online, my music blog "The Beat" has made it's way into print, in the Sunday Leisure section of the Monterey County Herald. The column (and re-vamped blog with cool logo design by JP Coronado) launched three weeks ago, but you can read my words and laugh at my ugly mug shot every Sunday from here on out. For those of you who live outside the 831 area, here's the link: http://MontereyHerald.com/marccabrera |
The blog is running at it's regular spot at http://marcsbeat.blogspot.com.
I have devoted a large portion of it to video streaming, but I will pop
in on occasion to do some writing. Thanks for all of your support, love,
and most importantly, thanks for reading.
