Backstreet to the American dream is a modern look at the classic American Dream through the quintessential 21st-century entrepreneurial endeavor, the food truck. This film looks at all different points of view of this $2 billion industry of which Los Angeles is its birthplace. In the middle there’s an animated short about the origins of the food truck it’s a light humoristic poke at history, and Martin Espino composed all the music, and provided cultural/historical advice to the Director and the Animator. Martin even provided Voiceovers for the character of,Hernan Cortes. This film has won many awards all over the world since its release.

We are going to play the first part of the hour on native American flute and ambient space guitar. It will sound really beautiful then we will change to some Christmas songs from Latin American in Spain. Come and enjoy this. Backyard bazaar has already been going on for 8 years and they have a good audience of people in Long Beach.
