Michigan State Music Professors Say Latin Grammy-Nominated Project Is ‘Bridging the Gap’ Between Cultures
It’s not often college music students get recognized by the Latin Recording Academy, much less the Wind Symphony ensemble, which means this type of recognition “legitimizes what we do,” says Sedatole. But more than that, adds Lorenz, “we’re bridging the gap [between cultures], especially in a state like Michigan where the Latino voice is not heard, although I know it’s there. It shows the world that the Latin culture is alive and well, even here in the middle of Michigan.” MSU is located in East Lansing, Mich., where there’s a population of a little over 48,000, according to the census, and 4.8 percent of the population is Latino. At least five out of the 50 members in the ensemble are Latino, says Lorenz, so for most of the musicians, “...

The very large truck was later spotted by a helicopter careening through Malibu, where police attempted to stop it with a pit maneuver and spike strip. But no dice!

A Lot of Miata: 2021 MX-5 Cup Schedule Announced
Amateur racing is an expensive hobby. Fortunately, Mazda makes it relatively affordable by way of the MX-5 Cup. We know, “relatively” is doing a lot of lifting in the prior sentence, because even though running in the MX-5 Cup costs a lot less to compete in than other racing series, it’s far from a cheap pastime. License and entry fees alone run into the thousands of dollars, and that’s before accounting for the price of hardware, such as the car itself, and consumables such as brake pads, tires, fuel, fluids, and other parts. Even so, the fact is the MX-5 Cup remains accessible, and it’s just announced a new agreement with IMSA for 2021 that sees the series expand to seven venues and 14 rounds for the 2021 season—the most in history, according...
