Nu-Blu is celebrating its 10th anniversary with its new CD "Ten."
Hi there, and welcome to As It Is, our daily show for people learning English. I’m June Simms in Washington.
Today, we are celebrating 10 years of togetherness with the Bluegrass band Nu-Blu. To mark the anniversary, we will play some new music from the group.
But first, we begin with a report from Los Angeles, California. Los Angeles is one of the most famous cities in the world, thanks to Hollywood. Now, a project called Snapshot Galleria is documenting some of the city’s hidden culture. Jim Tedder has more.
Street Photographer Documents Urban Life and Art
Erwin Recinos is a photographer who records the life and urban art of Los Angeles. At a neighborhood auto show, he takes pictures of lowriders. Lowriders are classic cars that are made to sit close to the ground, almost touching the road.
Car clubs in the city’s Hispanic communities make changes to American automobiles from the 1960s and 70s. Mr. Recinos captures images of the cars for a project by local photographers.
“A lot of these car clubs have been around for about 50 or 60 years. So what you're looking for is cultural influences in the community.”
Mr. Recinos walks around an industrial neighborhood looking for things to photograph. Here, many graffiti artists have painted storage buildings with colorful murals. Some of the murals are almost seven meters tall.
