Introducing the Los Angeles Times’ inaugural LA Vanguardia class of game changers, power players, instigators, innovators and mentors shaping culture today, tomorrow and beyond.

Born in New York City to Panamanian parents and having grown up in Panama and the U.S., filmmaker Bravo’s work captures confusing feelings of dislocation mixed with a strong sense of assured self-possession. Her two features to date, “Lemon” and “Zola,” are both playfully provocative, pushing audiences to confront their own cultural assumptions.

This satirical performance troupe has been dishing out comedy, cutting sociopolitical commentary, art and activism since 1984. Composed of Richard Montoya, Ric Salinas and Herbert Sigüenza, Culture Clash dives deep into issues unique to the experiences of Latinos of all ages, ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations and economic stratas.

The Grammy-winning quartet La Santa Cecilia may be loud-and-proud Angelenos, but their sound knows no borders. By integrating influences like American wild child Janis Joplin, Afro-Cuban diva Celia Cruz and Chicano rock icons Los Lobos, the pan-Latin group has crafted modern folkloric songs that reflect the finest elements of their multicultural upbringing, fortified by rousing messages of empowerment for immigrants. They first convened in 2007, busking on Olvera Street in downtown Los Angeles.

For the last five years, Spanish Aquí Presents has put its own comedic spin on all things Latinx for audiences in L.A. and beyond. Featuring members Tony Rodriguez, Carlos Santos, Raiza Licea and Oscar Montoya, the group is known for bringing plenty of hilarious bilingual banter to the Earwolf Podcast Network. Before ever turning on its microphones, SAP started as an improv troupe in 2018, packing in years of sold-out shows at L.A.'s famous Upright Citizens Brigade Theater.
