About the Artists: Leticia Rodriguez also an actress and dancer, recently played a role in the award winning theatre company, Teatro Vivo's production of "Petra's Pecados." After a successful three weekend run at the Salvage Vanguard Theatre, Michael Meigs, Austin Live Theatre said, "Rodriguez, an electrifying singer/performer, blows all the circuits with this one."
 
"The heart connection of this music reaches across many generations," Rodriguez explains. "My parents' generation knows this music so well, they sing along. My generation grew up hearing it. And my children's generation is intrigued by it because it's their cultural heritage. My audience often includes students researching Latin American culture."  
 
Most songs are presented in Spanish, with cultural anecdotes in between songs in English to enliven the show. Her own family's musical history provides personal inspiration. Her Aunt was international singer, Eva Garza, the renowned "Sweetheart of the Americas, during the 1940s - 1960s. Rodriguez began her singing career as a backup singer with award winning singer/songwriters and brothers, David Rodriguez and Philip Rodriguez.
