We would like to invite you to the 5th Annual Valentine’s Day Serenade. This is one of VROCC’s signature events and one of the most popular. This event is a great opportunity to reward your staff or volunteers. The event will take place on Saturday, February 9, 2019 from 7:00 to 10:00 PM at VROCC facilities in 175 William F. McClellan Highway, East Boston.
This year guests will be serenaded by our very own Veronica Robles accompanied by her All Women Mariachi band singing the songs of her most recent music album.
This is a fundraising event and proceeds will help to continue offering affordable or at no cost cultural enrichment programs to our community. During the summer we also provide jobs for youth to help cultivate peace in our community and to promote positive behavior among high school students in East Boston. Our most recent successful events were Christmas Celebration (Posada), and The Three Kings Day Celebration (Little Christmas). Over 400 people attended each event, we distributed about 400 toys, and families enjoyed traditional food and drinks and had the opportunity to learn and experience first hand about the traditions and the meaning of the Latin American Cultures. With these type of events free and open to everyone we bring communities together to network and share their own individual country experiences to foster love, kindness and appreciation for diversity.
Check the photos and videos included below to see some examples of what we do at VROCC.

About El Gran Mitote:
El Gran Mitote is part of a trend of Latin American rock bands that have sprung up recently in Boston and the surrounding areas. El Gran Mitote is the heir of a Latin American rock tradition that begins with groups such as the Mexican Maldita Vecindad and El Tri, the Chilean Los Fabulosos Cadillac and the Colombian Aterciopelados. This is urban rock, which lyrics express as diverse subjects as love and loss to social discontentment, drug abuse and police brutality. Lucho Jara, Guillermo Ortiz, Kevin Guerrero and Juan Pedraza are the talented members of this rock band that explores and combines the differences and similarities of rock with Latin American folk music.
About VROCC:
As a Latin American cultural center, VROCC seeks to both hold space for Latinos to engage in cultural activities and share space with people from other cultural groups who wish to learn about Latino cultures. We build social capital by supporting local professional talent providing a platform to showcase their work and by creating job opportunities for youth in the traditional arts and culture fields as well as supporting aspiring artists and arts entrepreneurs in the city. All are welcome to participate in the programs and celebrate in community.
